Removing the battery pack

To replace a discharged battery, follow the steps below.

1. Save your work.

2. Turn the computer’s power off. Make sure the Power indicator is off.

3. Remove all cables connected to the computer.

4. Turn the computer upside down.

5. Slide the battery safety lock forward to free the battery release latch.

6. Slide the battery release latch to free the battery pack for removal, then

slide out the battery pack.

Releasing the battery pack

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
Disk indicator to go out.

Do not touch the latch while holding the computer. Or you may get
injured by the dropped battery by unintentional release of the latch.
