Battery pack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source

is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as

the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended

use of the computer away from an AC power source although you should

not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the

computer, or place the computer into Hibernation Mode. Please be aware

that, when placing the computer into Hibernation Mode, the contents of

memory will be saved to the hard disk drive, although for safety sake, it is

best to also save your data manually.

Real Time Clock (RTC) battery

The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real

time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system

configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes

completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real

time clock and calendar will stop working.
You can change the Real Time Clock settings by turning the computer on

while pressing the F2 key and then release the F2 key when the TOSHIBA

Leading Innovation >>> screen appears. Please refer to Chapter 8

for further information.

Care and use of the battery pack

This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle

your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for

detailed precautions and handling instructions.

The RTC battery does not charge while the computer is turned off even if

the AC adaptor is attached.

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.

Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause

injury.
