Care and use of the battery pack

This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

The computer's RTC battery is a Ni-MH battery and should be
replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative.
The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or
disposed. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
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.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator will
flash orange to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If
you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the
computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data,
and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack
and plug the other end into a working outlet - the Battery indicator will glow
orange while the battery is being charged.
