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 Sleep 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
Built-in HDD 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.
