Real Time Clock Battery - Toshiba Satellite L350 series User Manual

When the computer is powered off in hibernation and sleep mode, and the
AC adapter is not connected, the battery pack supply power to maintain
data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, hibernation and sleep do not function and the computer loses
all data in memory.
One of the following messages appears when you turn on the power:
The firmware has detected that a CMOS battery fail occurred. <F1> to
contiune.
The firmware has detected that a CMOS battery fail occurred.<F1> to
contiune <F2> to setup.
To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack
is fully discharged. Refer to
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power, more
than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may not function
efficiently over the expected life of the battery and the Battery LED may not
indicate a low-battery condition.
