1. Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capacity has

become impaired, or after the display of a warning message indicating

that the battery pack’s power is exhausted. Continued use of an

exhausted or impaired battery pack could cause the loss of data.

2. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
3. When installing a battery pack or before moving the PC, always make

sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery

falls out, while you are carrying the PC, you could be injured or the

battery pack could be damaged.

4. Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and

35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,

battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be

shortened.

2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the

computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully

discharged. Refer to the section

Extending battery life

in this chapter for

procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power for

an extended period, more than a week, the battery might fail to retain a

charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life of the

battery pack and the Battery indicator might not indicate a low-battery

condition.

3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor

connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a

time. Continuing to charge a fully-charged battery pack can damage the

battery.
