Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your
battery and prolong its life.
Safety precautions
Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect
the power cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop
using the device if you observe any of the following
conditions:
❖
Offensive or unusual odor
❖ Excessive heat
❖
Discoloration
❖ Deformation, cracks, or leaks
❖
Smoke
❖
Other unusual events during use, such as
abnormal sound
Do not expose the device to fire. The battery could
explode.
Do not turn on the device’s power again until an
authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for
safety. Continued use could cause a fire or rupture
possibly resulting in serious injury or device failure
including but not limited to the loss of data.
Maintaining your battery
Fully discharging your battery will allow better accuracy of
the battery meter.
To fully discharge your battery periodically, disconnect the
device from a power source and operate it on battery power
until the battery fully discharges.
Disposing of your device
Never attempt to dispose of a device by burning or by
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a
heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can
cause a device to explode and/or release caustic liquid,
both of which may possibly cause serious injury.
