•Do not store or leave your computer or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance, or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
•Do not dispose of a high-capacity battery pack in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery pack according to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged battery pack promptly.
When Using a High-Capacity Battery Pack
Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage:
•Protect your high-capacity battery pack from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
•When you move the high-capacity battery pack between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the high-capacity battery pack. To avoid damage, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the battery pack.
NOTICE: When taking the high-capacity battery pack from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the battery pack to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
•When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain- relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
