Chapter 3 - Battery and Power Management
Battery Precautions
1. Do not expose the battery to fire, which can cause explosion, or allow it to become dented or
deformed.
2. Do not run your system on battery power for a long time at temperatures over 95 degrees F (35C).
Also, do not store the battery at high temperatures. This can significantly reduce battery life.
3. Temperature extremes can greatly affect the life of the battery. It should be kept in a low-humidity
area and temperature range of between 14 and 104 F (-10 and 40 C) when being stored for less than
one month and between 14 and 86 F (-10 and 30 C) when being stored for over one month.
4. The battery may be damaged if it is used in any device other than your computer. Also, do not
attempt to use your computer with any other make of AC adapter or battery charger. This includes
the Meridian 400 AC adapter.
5. Do not force the battery into the system unit. Do not drop it.
6. Do not short-circuit the battery electrodes.
7. Do not be alarmed if the battery feels warm to the touch when installed in your system. This is
normal.
8. If the CHARGE LED on the computer blinks green while charging, remove the battery pack and
allow it to return to normal operation temperature before recharging.
9. After recharging, if the battery power quickly becomes weak, or if the CHARGE LED on the
computer blinks orange rapidly during recharging, the battery power pack’s service life has probably
come to an end. Promptly replace it with a new battery pack, or remove the battery pack and use AC
adapter for power source. Do not leave a dead battery pack in the computer.
10. Do not to open the pack. It contains harmful materials that can catch fire when exposed to the air or
chemically burn your skin. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
11. The battery may not charge if its contacts become dirty. You can clean the contacts with a cloth.
