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.
WARNING
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
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. Rotate the latches on the battery door to the open
position and remove the door. Remove the
battery.
5. Make sure the replacement battery is properly
orientated. Insert the battery into the battery
compartment. Check that the latches lock back into position.
6. Charge the new battery by plugging the computer into AC power.
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 turns on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent near the right rear
of the computer when this happens.
2. If the temperature continues to rise, Processor activity is reduced. You may notice a slight loss of
performance when this happens.
3. If the computer overheats, the processor will stop functioning and the computer will shutdown.
