contacts in the battery compartment. To prevent damage, do not allow metal
objects to touch the battery contacts. Place only the battery pack for the Compaq
Presario 1600XL Series Portable Notebooks into the battery compartment. Do not
force the battery pack into the bay if insertion is difficult.

CAUTION: Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not open a
battery pack; this action damages the pack, makes it unusable, and exposes
potentially harmful battery components. No field-serviceable parts are located
inside the battery pack.
Note: Compaq Presario 1600XL Series Portable Notebooks have several screws of
various sizes that are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly
to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal
keep screws with their respective associated subassembly.
