Operating on Battery Power
This chapter contains the information you need to know to operate the
notebook on battery power.
2.1
Battery Pack
Whenever possible, use the AC adapter.  The battery will come in handy
when you travel or during a power failure.  It is advisable to have an extra
fully-charged battery pack available for backup.  The battery pack is installed
in the power bay.  Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you turn
off the notebook and close the LCD display properly.  Place the unit in an
upside-down position and unlock the power bay lock to release the battery
pack as shown in Figure 2-1.

If a CD-ROM drive / battery pack unit is installed in the notebook, you need to remove the whole unit
from the accessory and power bays.  Then, detach the battery pack from the CD-ROM drive module.
