The battery pack can explode if not replaced, used, handled or
disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local
ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by
TOSHIBA as replacements.
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature from 5
through 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might
leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate, and the battery life
might be shortened.
Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery
pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode, as data could be lost.
Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is
enabled, as data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the
Wake-up on LAN function.
Charging the batteries
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the
DC IN/Battery
indicator flashs amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power
remain. If you continue to use the computer while the
DC IN/Battery
indicator flashes, the computer enables Hibernation Mode so that you do
not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack
