Removing the Battery

CAUTION: Before performing these procedures, turn off the computer, disconnect the AC adapter from
the electrical outlet and the computer, disconnect the modem from the wall connector and computer,
and remove any other external cables from the computer.
CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. Replace the battery
only with a compatible battery purchased from Dell. The battery is designed to work with your
computer. Do not use a battery from other computers with your computer.
NOTICE: You must remove all external cables from the computer to avoid possible connector damage. For
information about replacing the second battery, if applicable, see "XBay" in your XFR630 with Touch Fully Rugged
Notebook User's Guide.
The following is applicable to UL 1604 and CSA C22.2 No. 213 compliant systems:
WARNING - Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the
area is known to be non-hazardous
WARNING - To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only be changed or charged
an area known to be non-hazardous
To remove the battery:
1. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the documentation that came with your
docking device for instructions.
2. Ensure that the computer is turned off.
3. If the 2 screws that secure the quarter-turn latches are installed, remove the 2 screws on the latches on the
battery compartment utilizing a #1 Philips screw driver. See "Bottom View" for the location of the battery
compartment. If the 2 security screws are not installed, proceed to step 4.
4. Lift each latch and turn each a quarter-turn, toward the 'unlock' icon, to release the latching mechanism. Remove
the compartment cover from the computer.
5. To remove the battery from the compartment, utilize the tab on the battery to assist in lifting the battery from the
