Tip 6. Preventing data loss
How to prevent data loss when removing the battery or storing
your computer
•
You can lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is
operating on battery power. To prevent this, turn off the unit by
pressing
FN+OFF
before you remove the battery.
•
The computer is equipped with enough internal backup power to
maintain memory contents for about 5 minutes each time you
exchange batteries. Be careful not to exceed this 5 minute limit
when you replace the battery.
•
If you plan to store your computer for more than 30 days, exit
Windows to save data to the hard disk, and then press
FN+OFF
to
turn off the computer. Remove the battery before storing the
computer.
Tip 7. Returning batteries for service
•
When shipping batteries, use non-static packing material to reduce
the possibility of static discharge. Placing the battery in a non-static
bag is ideal; however, wrapping the battery in paper or newspaper is
also acceptable.
•
Contact your supervisor or your organization’s help desk for correct
shipping procedures and information.
Tip 8. For more information
•
The Battery Status and Battery Maintenance applications provide
battery troubleshooting information. From the Help menu for each
application, choose Contents (or Help Topics), and then choose
Troubleshooting, followed by “Common Solutions to Common
Problems.”
