„Handling the battery
If the rechargeable battery pack is replaced with an incorrect type, there may be danger of an

 Do not short-circuit the battery pack.
 Keep the battery pack away from children.
 Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in landfills. When disposing of the 
battery, comply with local ordinances or regulations and your company’s safety standards.
Note:As each computer user has different habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery 
charge will last. There are two main factors:
 The amount of energy stored in the battery when you commence work.
 The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the hard disk drive and 
how bright you make the computer display.
Notes:
You are advised to insert the battery pack when using your computer to prevent small particles from 
entering the inside of your computer.
To increase the life of the battery pack, the computer does not start recharging the battery 
immediately after it drops from fully charged.
Charge the battery at a temperature between 50 °F and 86 °F (10 °C-30 °C).
Full charge or discharge is not required.
