Power
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent
battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other battery packs have
different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery
packs could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on
the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire
or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.
When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC
adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain
data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby Mode cannot function and the computer loses all
information in memory.
To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack
is fully discharged. Refer to
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power through
an AC adaptor for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may
fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of
the battery and the Battery indicator may not indicate a low-battery
condition.
High Capacity Battery Pack (optional)
A High Capacity Battery Pack is installable instead of a main battery pack.
The connection method of High Capacity Battery Pack is the same as that
of main battery pack.
The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not
properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery
as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries
recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.
When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC
adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain
data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby Mode cannot function and the computer loses all
information in memory.
Do not have only High Capacity Battery Pack, when having connected
High Capacity Battery Pack with the computer.
