This User's Guide covers an entire product series. Certain models
may not have an accessible battery.
For models with a non-accessible battery read the following
Changing the main battery information.
When your main battery has run out of power, plug in the AC
adaptor.
If you find that a new battery is needed, contact the location where
you purchased the computer for more information on replacing the
battery. Toshiba will not be responsible for any product damage,
data loss, service, or part replacement made necessary by improper
installation of a new battery.
If the computer is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective
gloves to handle it.
For models with an accessible battery read the following
Changing the main battery information.
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged battery.
Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with another
conductive object. This could cause serious injury or fire, and could
also damage the battery pack and computer.
❖Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or
pressure. The battery pack's internal protective device could
fail, causing it to overheat or ignite, resulting in caustic liquid
leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or
serious injury.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your files and
then either completely shut down your computer or put it into
Hibernation mode before changing the battery.
