Care and use of the battery pack
The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper
care of it will help assure longer operating time on battery power as well as a
longer life for your battery pack. Follow the instructions in this section
carefully to assure safe operation and maximum performance.
Safety precautions
1.
Be very careful not to short-circuit the battery pack. Contacting both
terminals with a metal object can cause injury, fire or damage to the
battery pack.
2.
Do not overcharge, reverse charge, mutilate or disassemble the
battery. Any one of those actions could release toxic materials,
hydrogen and/or oxygen or other electrolytic substances or cause an
increase in the battery’s surface temperature.
3.
Do not expose the battery pack to fire; the battery pack could explode.
4.
Battery packs contain toxic substances. Do not dispose of them with
ordinary trash. Dispose of battery packs only in accordance with local
ordinances. Always cover the metal terminals with insulating tape to
avoid short circuits.
5.
If the battery has leaked or been vented, it should be replaced
immediately. Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
6.
When it becomes necessary to replace the main battery, it must be
replaced only by an identical battery from the same manufacturer.
7.
Do not expose the battery pack terminals to any metal object other
than the computer contacts. Wrap it or place it in a plastic bag when
transporting it.
8.
When you install the battery pack, you should hear a click when it is
seated properly.
9.
Charge the battery pack only in the computer or in a battery charger
designated as an approved option.
10.
Reverse polarity should be avoided with all batteries. The main battery
is designed so that it cannot be installed in reverse polarity.
