Acer 330 Series manual Replacing the Battery Pack

36Chapter 2

Operating on Battery Power

You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery power from a fully charged battery pack depletes in roughly a day with the computer in Standby mode, or a month in Hibernation mode or when the power is off.

Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack.

Replacing the Battery Pack

Note: Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise, turn off the computer.

To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:

1.Slide and hold the battery bay release latch and slide the battery out slightly.
