CAUTION: To prevent damage to the battery pack, do not expose it to 
high temperatures for extended periods of time.

If the notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than 
2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack.

High temperatures accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored 
battery pack, so place it in a location that is cool and dry.

Before using a battery pack that has been stored for one month or 
more, calibrate it. This insures that the battery information 
displayed by your notebook is accurate.
