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
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.

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.

battery pack specified in the User’s Manual. Other battery packs have
different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery
packs could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
■
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on
the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire
or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.

data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby Mode will not function and the computer loses all
data in memory.
