notice a significant decrease of battery capacity.
To change the battery pack, follow the steps below:

2. Close the lid and flip the computer over.
3. Slide the battery latch. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed.
4. Make sure the replacement battery is properly oriented before inserting it into the battery
compartment.
Note: The battery can not be charged to 100% when remaining battery is no less than 95%. It is
based on the supplier's advice, and to extend charging frequency and battery life.
Maintenance of the AC Adapter
*Do not connect the adapter to any other device.
*Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Carefully route the power cord
and keep cables away from all traffic.
*When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but on the plug instead.
*If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the devices plugged onto the cord do not exceed
its total capacity. Furthermore, the devices plugged into the electrical outlet shall not exceed the
fuse's total ampere rating.
*Please verify power voltage before connecting the electrical cord to the power outlet. If you are
uncertain of its power specification, please consult with your local vendors or power company for
more details.
