Disposing of your device

Maintaining your battery

Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy
of the battery meter.

❖Periodically, disconnect the device from a power source
and operate it on battery power until the battery pack
fully discharges.
Disposing of your device
Never attempt to dispose of a computer by burning or by
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a
heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can
cause a computer to explode and/or release caustic
liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.

regulations.
