BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
• Always handle batteries carefully.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal
object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or
other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
• Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten
battery life.
• Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
• Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapater whenever
possible.
• If your LifeBook notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapater
overnight to recharge the battery.
• Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
• Set the power management for maximum battery life.
• Put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually
using it.
