Batteries

Caring for your Batteries
• Always handle batteries carefully.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object).
Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other
metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
• Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten the life
of your battery.
• Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

• If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight.

• Turn off the Wireless LAN/Bluetooth devices when not in use by clicking the [Fn]+[F5] key
combination.
• Set the power management for maximum battery life.
• Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.
