Power and Power-Up Modes

nWhen handling battery packs, do not short-circuit the terminals. Also do not drop, hit or otherwise apply impact; do not scratch or break the casing and do not twist or bend the battery pack.

nDo not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.

nIn Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the Built-in HDD indicator to go out.

nDo not touch the latch while holding the computer. Or you may get injured by the dropped battery by unintentional release of the latch.
