Care and Use of the Battery Pack
The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will help assure longer operating time on battery power as well as a longer life for your battery pack. Follow the instructions in this section carefully to assure safe operation and maximum performance.
Safety Precautions
1.Never try to disassemble the battery pack.
2.Do not overcharge, short circuit, reverse charge, mutilate or incinerate the battery. Any one of the above actions could result in the release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen or an increase in the battery's surface temperature.
3.If the battery has leaked or been vented, it should be replaced immediately. Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
4.When it becomes necessary to replace the main battery, it must be replaced only by an identical battery from the same manufacturer. Only one battery can be installed in the T2150CD series at a time; however, if batteries for the computer are connected in series for other use, it is recommended that all batteries be replaced at the same time.
5.Reverse polarity should be avoided with all batteries. The T2150CD series main battery is designed so that it cannot be installed in reverse polarity.
Charging the Batteries
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery LED flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery LED flashes, the computer enables resume mode (so you don’t lose data) and automatically turns off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
