Replacing Battery Pack(s)

If you are operating the computer with only one battery pack or if the computer indicates a low-battery condition, initiate Suspend before replacing the battery pack(s).

CAUTION: To prevent loss of unsaved data when the computer is on and you are removing the only battery pack, initiate Suspend. When the screen blanks and the power/suspend light begins blinking, remove the battery pack and replace it with a charged battery pack within ten minutes.

If you are operating the computer with two battery packs and the computer is not in a low-battery condition, you can remove one battery pack without first initiating Suspend.
