Battery Safety Tips

Replacing or handling the batte ry incorrectly may present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury.

Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of battery.

Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to temperatures above +60° C (+140° F).

Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.

Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.

Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or for proper disposal in your area.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.

Follow these tips to help optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss:

Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the Suspend Timer’s time to activate period.

Turn off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.

Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve power.

Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.
