When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that 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. Disconnect
external power
.
3. Close the display and turn the computer over.
4. slide the latch to the un-locked position and slide the battery out of the compartment.
5. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Insert the battery into the battery
compartment. Check that the latch locks back into position. Slide the latch to the locked position.
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 temperature:
1. The cooling fan is turned on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent near the left
front of the computer when this happens.
