Releasing the battery pack
7. Return your computer to the upright position.
■ 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
Hard Disk Drive indicator to go out.
■ Do not touch the release latch while holding the computer - this may
cause the battery pack to be unintentionally released which may result
in injury or damage.
