When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend
that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store
significantly less charge.

Changing the Battery

Change the main battery pack as
follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away
from the battery. Continue to hold it
until the battery is removed.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Make sure the replacement battery is
properly orientated. Slide back the
side battery latch (1) then insert the
battery into the battery compartment.
Check that the latch locks back into
position.

Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume
little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot
environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature.
Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:
• The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air
coming from a vent at the left side when this happens.
• If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be
reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this
happens.
