you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly
less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as
follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3. Unlock the side battery latch (2) by
sliding it to the right.
4. Slide the side battery latch (1) to the
left. Continue to hold it until the
battery is removed.
5. Make sure the replacement battery
is properly oriented. Insert the
battery into the battery compartment
and lock the latch (2) by sliding it to

Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume little power,
and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or
working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the
following steps to lower the temperature:
1. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming
from the vent.
2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be
reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this
happens.
