Replacing the Battery

Your computer comes with a 3.6 volt lithium battery that

provides power for the real-time clock and the CMOS RAM.

The real-time clock keeps track of the time for your

computer, and the CMOS RAM stores the information about

your system configuration that was saved by the SETUP

program.

This battery lasts approximately three to five years. If it loses
power, you will see an error message when you turn on or

reset your computer. Contact your dealer to obtain a

replacement battery pack. Your dealer can also install the

battery for you. If you want to replace the battery yourself,
you can follow the instructions in this section.

Note

When

the

battery runs out, your computer

loses the

information stored in the CMOS RAM and the time stored

in the real-time clock. After you replace the battery, you

must run the SETUP program to reconfigure your system

and set the real-time clock.
