WARNING

Changing the Battery

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For
your safety, never attempt to recharge, disassemble, or burn the old
battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. The battery is a lithium battery
which does not contain heavy metals. Nevertheless, in order to protect
the environment, do not dispose of batteries in household waste.
Please return used batteries to the shop from which you bought them,
or to the dealer from whom you purchased your PC Workstation, or to
HP, so that they can be either recycled or disposed of in an
environmentally sound way. Returned batteries will be accepted free
of charge.
If your PC repeatedly loses its configuration settings you should
consider changing the battery. Replace it with a CR2032 coin type
manganese/lithium battery, available from most PC stores.
To change the battery:
1 Disconnect the computer's power supply cord and any connection to
a telecommunications network.
2 Remove the computer's cover.
3 Remove the old battery by sliding it from under the retaining clip.
4 Place the new battery in the battery holder and ensure that it is
