TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery cannot occur when 
your computer is using all of the power provided by the AC adaptor 
to run applications, features, and devices. Your computer's Power 
Options utility can be used to select a power level setting that 
reduces the power required for system operation and will allow the 
battery to recharge.
Setting battery notifications
Your computer can be configured to warn you when the battery is 
running low. For more information, see “Setting battery 
notifications” in the electronic user’s guide.
Changing the main battery
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two 
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged main 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 main battery.
Removing the battery from the computer
To remove the battery:
1
Save your work.
2
Turn off the computer or place it in Hibernation mode 
according to the instructions in “Using and configuring 
Hibernation mode” in the electronic user’s guide.
3
Unplug and remove any cables connected to the computer, 
including the AC adaptor.
