Figure 6-3 Releasing the battery pack

When handling battery packs, do not short-circuit the terminals. Also do

not drop, hit or otherwise apply impact; do not scratch or break the

casing and do not twist or bend the battery pack.

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.

In Hibernation mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery or

disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the

Bult-in HDD indicator to go out.

Do not touch the battery release latch while holding the computer or the

battery pack might fall out due to the unintentional release of the

battery release latch and cause injuries.
