Changing the main battery
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged battery.
If you find that a new battery is needed, contact the location
where you purchased the computer for more information on
replacing the battery. Toshiba will not be responsible for any
product damage, data loss, service, or part replacement
made necessary by improper installation of a new battery.
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged battery.
If the computer is leaking or its case is cracked, put on
protective gloves to handle it.
Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally
or intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact
with another conductive object. This could cause serious
injury or fire, and could also damage the battery pack
and computer.
Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock,
vibration or pressure. The battery pack's internal
protective device could fail, causing it to overheat or
ignite, resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or
fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your
files and then either completely shut down your
computer or put it into Hibernation mode before
changing the battery.
