16. Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.
Caution
1. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
2. When installing a battery pack or before moving the PC, always make
sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery
falls out, while you are carrying the PC, you could be injured or the
battery pack could be damaged.
3. Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and
35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,
battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be
shortened.
4. Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capability has
become impaired, or after the warning message indicating that the
battery pack power is exhausted has been displayed.
5. Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery pack could result in
the loss of data or damage to PC.
6. Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery
pack while the computer is in Standby Mode. Data will be lost.
Note
1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is
enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable
the Wake-up on LAN function.
2. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on Wireless LAN
function is enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack,
disable the Wake-up on Wireless LAN function.
3. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the
computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully
discharged. Refer to the section
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power for
an extended period, more than a week, the battery might fail to retain a
charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life of the
battery pack and the Battery indicator might not indicate a low-battery
condition.
4. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor
connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a
time. Continuing to charge a fully-charged battery pack can damage the
battery.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator
flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain.
If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the
computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and
automatically turns off.
