Texas Instruments 3000 WinSX - Manual (Page 50)

Handling the Battery Pack
The battery pack is equipped with thermal fuses to prevent unsafe computer operation.
However, if your computer is stored in a very warm place (an automobile trunk, for
example), it may not turn on under battery power until the thermal fuses cool to a safe
temperature.
Installing the Battery Pack
Install the internal NiCad battery pack as follows. If the battery is new or not fully
charged, condition and/or charge the battery as described later in this chapter.
Note: The internal NiCad battery pack and its cover are built as one unit; do not try to
separate the cover from the battery pack. Do not short out the battery pack.
1. Turn off the computer, disconnect the AC Adapter and any other
external devices, and carefully lay the computer upside down on a
padded surface.
2. Insert the battery pack and integral cover into the computer's battery
compartment so that the two smaller tabs in the cover engage the
matching slots in the rear of the compartment.
