High Capacity Battery Pack (Option)

A High Capacity Battery Pack is installable instead of a main battery pack. The connection method of High Capacity Battery Pack is the same as that of main battery pack.

■The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

■Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost. When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC Adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely discharged, Standby Mode cannot function and the computer loses all information in memory.

■When the High capacity battery pack is connected to the computer, do not hold on only to the High capacity battery pack when lifting the computer up.

The High capacity battery pack may separate from the computer, causing it to fall and cause injuries.
