To determine whether the battery needs replacing, reenter the time and date through the System Setup program (not through the MS-DOS® time and date commands) and exit the program properly to save the information (see "Using the System Setup Program" for instructions). Turn off your system and disconnect it from AC power for a few hours; then reconnect and turn on your system. Enter the System Setup program. If the date and time are not correct in the System Setup program, replace your battery.

You can operate your system without a battery; however, without a battery, the system configuration information is erased if the system is turned off or unplugged from AC power. In this case, you must enter the System Setup program and reset the configuration options.

CAUTION: There is a danger of the new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
