Sample removing the discharged battery
If the battery is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective
gloves to handle it, and discard it immediately. Always dispose of
used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the
electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire
or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious
injury.
Inserting a charged battery
1 Wipe the terminals of the charged battery with a clean
cloth to ensure a good connection.
2 Insert the charged battery into the slot until the latch
clicks.
The battery pack has been designed so that you cannot
install it with reverse polarity.
3 Reset the battery release lock to the locked position.
4 Turn the computer right side up.
5 Reconnect any cables that were removed in “Removing
the battery from the computer” on page 48.
6 Restart the computer.
