Battery Care

The Eee PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged.The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Eee PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).You must also take into account that the Eee PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Eee PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.

For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in fire, DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the Eee PC and contact an authorized service center.

Emergency Shutdown

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there is an additional way to shutdown your Eee PC:

Hold the power button until the system shuts down.

DO NOT use emergency shutdown/reset while data is being written or read; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data.
