Using Battery Power

The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set

of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which

can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery

packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Your Notebook PC may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your Notebook PC does not have

its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.

Battery Care

The Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times

it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature,

humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature

range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook

PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below

this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventu-

ally decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC.

Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.

WARNING! For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in fire, DO NOT

short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is

any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact,

turn OFF the Notebook PC and contact an authorized service center.
