Changing the main battery

Changing the main battery

This User's Guide covers an entire product series. 
Certain models may not have an accessible battery.

For models with a non-accessible battery read the 
following Changing the main battery information.

When your main battery has run out of power, plug in the AC 
adaptor.

If you find that a new battery is needed, contact the location 
where you purchased the computer for more information on 
replacing the battery. Toshiba will not be responsible for any 
product damage, data loss, service, or part replacement 
made necessary by improper installation of a new battery.

If the computer is leaking or its case is cracked, put on 
protective gloves to handle it.

For models with an accessible battery read the 
following Changing the main battery information.

When your main battery has run out of power, you have two 
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged battery.

Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally 
or intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact 
with another conductive object. This could cause serious 
injury or fire, and could also damage the battery pack 
and computer.

Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, 
vibration or pressure. The battery pack's internal 
protective device could fail, causing it to overheat or 
ignite, resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or 
fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your 
files and then either completely shut down your 
computer or put it into Hibernation mode before 
changing the battery.
