Battery safety precautions
❖
If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or
changes color or shape while it is being used or charged,
turn off the computer's power immediately and
disconnect the power cord from the power socket.
Carefully remove the battery pack from the computer.
❖
Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
If the battery is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective
gloves to handle it, and discard it immediately following the
advice in "Disposing of used batteries safely" on page 48.
