❖

A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all 
batteries. The battery is designed so that it cannot be installed 
in reverse polarity. 

❖

Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery charger 
designated as an approved option.

❖

When you install the battery pack, you should hear a click 
when it is seated properly.

❖

Do not expose the battery pack to fire. The battery pack could 
explode.

Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of 
the battery meter.

To fully discharge your battery pack:

❖

Periodically, disconnect the computer from a power source and 
operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully 
discharges. 

❖

If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

❖

If you will not be using the system for an extended period, 
more than one month, remove the battery pack.

❖

Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.

The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack 
needs replacing, the 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.
