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 while it is installed in the computer, connect the

AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack and plug the other end into a working

outlet - the Battery indicator will glow amber while the battery is being

charged.

The battery pack, Extended Battery Pack and High Capacity Battery

Pack are lithium ion batteries, which can explode if not replaced, used,

handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by

local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by

TOSHIBA as replacements.

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.

Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the

power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery

pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data could be lost.

When the High Capacity Battery Pack is connected to the computer,

do not hold on only to the High Capacity Battery Pack when lifting the

computer up. The High Capacity Battery Pack may separate from the

computer, causing it to fall and cause injuries.

Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is

enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the

Wake-up on LAN function.

Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or optional

TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to

charge the battery pack with any other charger.
