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

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

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.
