Changing the main battery

When handling battery packs, do not short-circuit the
terminals. Also do not drop, hit or otherwise apply impact; do
not scratch or break the casing and do not twist or bend the
battery pack.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in
Standby Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer
loses power it will be lost.
In Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the
battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is
completed. Wait for the Built-in HDD indicator to go out.
Do not touch the latch while holding the computer. This may
cause injury by accidentally dropping the battery.
Inserting a charged battery
To insert a battery:
1
Wipe the terminals of the charged battery with a clean
cloth to ensure a good connection.
2
Insert the charged battery into the slot until the latch
clicks.
The battery pack has been designed so that you cannot
install it with reverse polarity.
If the battery does not slide into the slot easily, move the
battery release lock to the unlocked position and try again. Do
not force the battery into position.
