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

Extending battery life

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.

High capacity battery pack (option)

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.

Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent

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.

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.

When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC

adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain

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.

The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not

properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery

as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries

recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

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.

When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC

adaptor is not connected, the main battery pack supply power to

maintain data and program in memory. If the battery pack is completely

discharged, Standby Mode does not function and the computer loses

all data in memory.

When the High capacity battery pack is connected to the computer,

do not forget to hold the High capacity battery pack when lifting the

computer up. Otherwise, the High capacity battery pack may separate

from the computer, causing it to fall and cause injuries.
