Replacing the battery
Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and
settings for built-in features. A battery keeps this information active when you
turn off the computer.
The battery requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life; however,
no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and configuration
information (including passwords) are no longer set. An error message is
displayed when you turn on the computer. See “Lithium battery notice” on
page ix.
