Step 1.

 Prepare the Computer.  

 

CAUTION

Make sure the 

computer is turned off,  the  lid is 
closed, and the  AC Adapter is 
disconnected. Failure to do so can 
result in damage to the computer. 
  
Place the computer upside down on 
a protected surface with the  front 
edge facing you.

 Remove the Battery Pack.  

 

Locate the two tabs as shown in the

battery pack, and the other is located 
on the right side. Using your thumbs 
and fingers push both tabs in the 
release direction; gently push the 
battery pack away from you. 

Step 3.
