Battery types
The computer has three types of batteries:
■ Battery pack
■ Slice Expansion Battery (Provided with some models, or option)
■ Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
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.
Do 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 set the computer to Hibernation Mode. While entering
Hibernation Mode, the computer saves the contents of memory to the hard
disk drive. However, for safety sake, it is best to save your data manually.
Green
Indicates power is being supplied to the computer
and the computer is turned on.
Blinking orange
Indicates power is being supplied to the computer
while the computer is in Standby Mode. The
indicator turns on for one second and off for two
seconds.
No light
Under any other conditions, the indicator does not
light.
■ 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.
■ 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.
