CAUTION:
When replacing the lithium battery, use only IBM Part Number 33F8354
or an equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If
your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only
with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The
battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled,
or disposed of.
Do not:
– Throw or immerse into water
– Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)
– Repair or disassemble
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.

If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery
with heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental
consideration. Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must not be
disposed of with normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by
the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a
proper manner.
