Disposing of used batteries
If you will not be using the system for an extended period, 
more than one month, remove the battery pack.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight 
hours, disconnect the AC adaptor.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack 
needs replacing, the main battery light flashes amber shortly after 
you have fully recharged the battery. 
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by 
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating 
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to 
explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly 
cause serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all 
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as 
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a 
possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could 
possibly result in serious injury.
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an 
equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other 
battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of 
non-conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or 
rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold 
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain 
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old 
batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local 
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old 
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the 
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.
In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling 
programs, events and consumer promotions. For details, please visit
