Check the Power indicator to determine the power status of the computer - 

the following indicator conditions should be noted:

This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.

The computer has different types of batteries.

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source 

is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as 

the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended 

use of the computer away from an AC power source although you should 

not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the 

computer, or place the computer into Hibernation Mode. Please be aware 

that, when placing the computer into Hibernation Mode, the contents of 

memory will be saved to the hard disk drive, although for safety sake, it is 

best to also save your data manually.

The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real 

time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system 

configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes 

completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real 

time clock and calendar will stop working - in this instance the following 

message will be displayed when you turn on the power:

You can change the Real Time Clock settings by turnin on the computer 

while pressing the F2 key and then release F2 key when the TOSHIBA

Mode, this indicator will turn on for two seconds 

and off for two seconds.

Under any other conditions, the indicator does not 

light.
