Battery Lock - Spring
The spring battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. When the battery pack is inserted, it will
automatically lock. To remove the battery pack, this spring lock must be held in the unlocked position.
Memory (RAM) Compartment
The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory. Additional memory
will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. The BIOS automatically detects
the amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-
Self-Test) process. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory
is installed. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on memory upgrades for your
Notebook PC. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure
maximum compatibility and reliability.
Battery Lock - Manual
The manual battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. Move the manual lock to the unlocked
position to insert or remove the battery pack. Move the manual lock to the locked position after insert-
ing the battery pack.
Shutdown Button (Emergency)
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, the shutdown button
can be pressed with a straightened paper clip to shutdown the Notebook PC.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when connected to an AC power source and maintains
power to the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving tempo-
rarily between locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook
PC. The battery pack cannot be disassembled and must be purchased as a single unit.
