Batteries

Caring for your Batteries

•Always handle batteries carefully.

•Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

•Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.

•Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.

•Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten the life of your battery.

•Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

Increasing Battery Life

•Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.

•If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery.

•Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.

•Set the power management for maximum battery life.

•Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.

•Limit your media drive access.
