Setting battery alarms
Your computer can be configured to warn you when the
battery is running low. For more information, see "Setting
battery alarms" in the electronic user's guide.
Changing the main battery
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged main
battery.
Removing the battery from the computer
To remove the battery:
1
Save your work.
2
Turn off the computer or place it in Hibernation mode
according to the instructions in "Using and configuring
Hibernation mode" in the electronic user's guide.
3
Unplug and remove any cables connected to the
computer, including the AC adaptor.
4
Close the display panel and turn the computer upside
down.
Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with another
conductive object. This could cause serious injury or fire, and could
also damage the battery pack and computer.
Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or
pressure. The battery pack's internal protective device could
fail, causing it to overheat or ignite, resulting in caustic liquid
leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or
serious injury.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your files and
then either completely shut down your computer or put it into
Hibernation mode before changing the main battery.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby
Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power data
will be lost.
In Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
Built-in HDD indicator to go out before removing the battery.
