Power and
Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real time clock and calendar will stop working - in this instance the following message will be displayed when you turn on the power:
S **** RTC Power Failure ****
Check system. Then press [F2] key.
You can change the Real Time Clock settings by turning the computer on while pressing the F2 key and then release the F2 key when the TOSHIBA Leading Innovation >>> screen appears. Please refer to Chapter 8 Troubleshooting for further information.
The RTC battery does not charge while the computer is turned off even if the AC adaptor is attached.
