Replacing the Real-Time Clock Battery

Your Compaq Internet PC is equipped with a lithium or nickel cadmium battery
that provides power to the real time clock when your system is shut down. If you
must replace the battery, please observe the following safety guidelines.
For more information about real-time clock battery replacement, contact a
Compaq Authorized Service Provider.
WARNING: Your computer is provided with a battery-powered, real-time clock
circuit. Danger of explosion and risk of personal injury exists if the battery is
incorrectly replaced or mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge the battery,
disassemble it, remove it, immerse it in water, or dispose of it in fire.
WARNING: This computer may contain a lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hydride battery
pack. There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if the battery pack is handled
improperly. Do not disassemble, crunch, puncture, or short external contacts,
dispose of in water or fire, or expose to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries with general household waste. To dispose of
them or recycle them, use the public collection system in accordance with local
regulations or return them to Compaq, an authorized Compaq partner, or to the
point-of-sale. In North America, dispose of nickel-metal-hydride or lithium-ion
batteries by taking advantage of the Compaq battery recycling program. You will be
provided with a postage-paid battery pack mailer pre-addressed to a reclamation
facility where the metals are recycled.
