Power and Power-Up Modes
To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack
is fully discharged. Refer to Extending battery life in this chapter for
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power through
an AC adaptor for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may
fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of
the battery and the Battery indicator may not indicate a low-battery
condition.
High capacity battery pack (optional)
An optional 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 supply power to maintain
data and program in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby mode does not function and the computer loses
all data in memory.
