Care and use of the battery pack

2.Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the universal AC adaptor and remove the battery if any of the following events are observed in the battery pack: offensive or unusual odor, excessive heat, discoloration or deformation. Never use the computer again until it has been checked by a TOSHIBA service provider. It might generate smoke or fire, or the battery pack might rupture.

3.Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.

4.Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause injury.

Caution

1.Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capacity has become impaired, or after the display of a warning message indicating that the battery pack’s power is exhausted. Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery pack could cause the loss of data.

2.Never dispose of battery packs with normal trash. Bring them to your TOSHIBA dealer or to another recycling center to save resources and prevent environmental damage. Cover the terminals with electrical tape to prevent short-circuits, which could cause the battery pack to ignite or rupture.

3.Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

4.Always make sure the battery pack is installed correctly and securely. Otherwise, a battery pack could fall out and possibly cause injury.

5.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.

6.Be sure to monitor the remaining battery power. If the battery pack and real time clock battery discharge completely, Standby and Suspend will not function and data in memory will be lost. Also, the computer might register an incorrect time and date. In this case, connect the universal AC adaptor to recharge the batteries.
