Changing the main battery
When your battery power is running low, you have two
options—connect the computer to an AC power source or
install a charged battery.
When handling a battery, be careful not to drop it or short-
circuit its terminals. Also, do not drop, hit or otherwise impact
the battery. 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
Standby mode. Data in memory will be lost.
If your battery discharges fully, your information will be lost.
Be sure to save your work often.
