To replace the battery:

1Open your computer following the directions on page 44.

Remove the battery by pulling it out of its holder. You may need to spread the two tabs to release the battery.

2If a PCI card is installed next to the battery, remove the card.

3Remove the battery from its holder, noting the orientation of the battery’s positive end. (A plus sign is marked on or near the battery holder.)

If necessary, spread the tabs holding the battery so you can remove it. Spread the tabs gently so they don’t break.

·Warning: Installing the battery incorrectly may cause an explosion. Be sure the battery’s positive and negative poles are correctly oriented in the holder. Use only the

same type of battery or an equivalent recommended by the manufacturer of the original.

4Insert the new battery in the holder, making sure the battery’s positive symbol aligns with the positive symbol on or near the holder.

5Replace the air deflector and side panel, following the directions that begin on page 53.
