2. Never dispose of battery packs with normal trash. Bring them to
your TOSHIBA dealer or to another recycling center to save
resources and prevent environmental damage. Cover the terminals
with electrical tape to prevent short-circuits, which could cause the
battery pack to ignite or rupture.
3. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as
replacements.
4. Always make sure the battery pack is installed correctly and
securely. Otherwise, a battery pack could fall out and possibly cause
injury.
5. Change the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5
and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might
leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life
might be shortened.
6. Be sure to monitor the remaining battery power. If the battery pack
and real time clock battery discharge completely. Standby and
Suspend will not function and data in memory will be lose. Also, the
computer might register an incorrect time and date. In this case,
connect the AC adaptor to recharge the batteries.
7. Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery
pack while the computer in Suspend or Standby mode. Data will be
lost.
Note
1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function
is enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack,
disable the Wake-up on LAN function.
2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is
fully discharged. Refer to the section Extending battery life in this
chapter for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on
AC power for an extended period, more than a week, the battery
might fail to retain a charge. It might not function efficiently over the
expected life of the battery pack and Battery indicator might not
indicate a low-battery condition.
3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor
connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at
a time. Continuing to charge a fully-charged battery pack can
damage the battery.
Charging the batteries
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator
flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain.
If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes,
the computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and
automatically turns off.
