Battery pack warning indicators
❖
Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cable/
cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the battery pack if you
observe any of the following conditions:
• Offensive or unusual odor
• Excessive heat
• Discoloration
• Deformation, cracks or leaks
• Smoke
• Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound
In such an event, carefully and immediately remove the battery pack (for
models with the removable battery pack) from your product. In some
instances, you might have to wait for your product to cool down before
removing the battery pack, in order to avoid any possible minor injury due
to heat exposure. Do not turn on your product's power again until an
authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety. Continued
use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or
product failure including but not limited to the loss of data.
Disposal of used battery packs
❖
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the
electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire or
electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.
Never leave the dry cell battery in the product for a long time
❖
Never leave the dry cell battery in the product (e.g., remote controller,
wireless keyboard/mouse) for a long time if it is not in use. Failure to do so
could possibly damage your product.
Indications of damage if your product is dropped
❖
If your product is dropped, and emits smoke, unusual odor or excessive
heat, immediately unplug the AC adaptor (if connected) and shut off your
product.
Do not turn on your product's power again until an authorized Toshiba
service provider has checked it for safety.
Continuing to use your product could cause a fire or battery rupture
possibly resulting in serious injury. It could also cause a product failure
including but not limited to the loss of data.
