Replacing The Cmos Battery - NEC POWERMATE P ETC User Manual

REPLACING THE CMOS BATTERY

A 3-volt lithium battery in your computer maintains system
configuration information. If your system fails to maintain
system configuration information, replace it with an
identically rated battery from the same manufacturer.
Removing the battery from the system board
causes the computer to lose system configuration
information. If you can, run the Setup Utility and
print out or write down your system configuration
settings. Then you can restore your system to its
current settings.
The battery can explode if it is incorrectly replaced
or improperly discarded. Use only the same battery
or an equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer when replacing the battery.
Lithium acts as a catalyst when exposed to water
and causes spontaneous combustion on contact.
Discard
manufacturer's instructions.
