Power and Power-Up Modes
6. Use only the battery pack supplied with the computer or other device or
an battery pack approved by the computer or device's manufacturer.
Battery packs have different voltages and terminal polarities. Use of an
improper battery could cause smoke, fire or rupture of the battery pack.
7. Never subject a battery pack to heat, such as storage near a heat
source. Exposure to heat can cause the battery pack to ignite, explode
or leak caustic liquid and cause death or serious injury. It could also fail
or malfunction causing data loss.
8. Never expose the battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or
pressure. The battery pack's internal protective device will fail, causing
it to overheat, explode, ignite or leak caustic liquids possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
9. Never let a battery pack become wet. A wet battery pack will overheat,
ignite or rupture possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
Warning
1. Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from a battery pack to
contact your eyes, skin or clothing. If caustic electrolyte fluid should
contact your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts of
running water and seek medical attention, to help prevent eye damage.
It electrolyte fluid should contact your skin, immediately wash it under
running water to prevent rash. If it contacts your clothes, promptly
remove them to prevent the fluid from contacting your skin or eyes.
2. Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the AC adapter and remove
the battery if any of the following events are observed in the battery
pack: offensive or unusual odor, excessive heat, discoloration or
deformation. Never use the computer again until it has been checked
by a TOSHIBA service provider. It might generate smoke or fire, or the
battery pack might rupture.
3. Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before
attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could
generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
4. Keep the battery pack out or reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.
Caution
1. Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capacity has
become impaired, or after the display of a warning message indicating
that the battery pack's power is exhausted. Continued use of an
exhausted or impaired battery pack could cause the loss of data.
2. Never dispose of battery packs with normal trash. Bring them to your
TOSHIBA dealer or to another recycling centre to save resources and
prevent environmental damage. Cover the terminals with electrical tape
to prevent short-circuits, which could cause the battery pack to ignite or
rupture.
3. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
4. Always make sure the battery pack is installed correctly and securely.
Otherwise, a battery pack could fall out and possibly cause injury.
