Taking care of your battery
Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the 
battery pack needs replacing, the main 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.
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or 
an equivalent battery pack specified in the User's 
Manual. Other battery packs have different voltage and 
terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery packs 
could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly 
resulting in serious injury.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability 
to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under 
certain applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to 
dispose of old batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your 
local government authority for details regarding where to 
recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly.
Toshiba is dedicated to preserving the environment by 
sponsoring 
Call2Recycle
, a program of the 
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation, so you can 
easily recycle accessible rechargeable batteries. For more
