module bay.
NOTE: You do not need to install the device screw unless you want to secure the module inside the computer for security purposes.
Your Dell™ computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay. However, the device screw is not installed in the optical drive but packaged
separately. When you install your device in the module bay, you can install the device screw.
Checking the Charge on the Second Battery
NOTE: Battery capacity (the time it can hold a charge) decreases over time. Depending on how often the battery is used and the conditions under which
it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery during the life of your computer.
Before you install a second battery, press the status button on the battery charge gauge to illuminate the charge level lights. Each light represents
approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if the battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no lights
appear, the battery has no charge.
