Mobile Computing
Running the computer on battery power
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
until the battery is fully discharged. Please see 
 for procedures. If the computer is 
continuously operated on AC power, either through an AC 
adapter or a docking station for an extended period, more 
than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may 
not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery 
and the battery light may not indicate a low-battery condition.
In addition, the computer has an internal real-time clock 
(RTC) battery. This is a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. 
The RTC battery powers the RTC memory, which stores your 
system configuration settings and the current time and date 
for up to a month while the computer is turned off. 
Using additional batteries
If you spend a lot of time traveling and need to work for 
many hours without an AC power source, you may want to 
carry additional charged batteries with you. You can then 
replace a discharged battery and continue working.
Battery safety precautions 
If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or 
changes color or shape while it is being used or charged, 
turn off the computer’s power immediately and 
disconnect the power cord from the power socket. 
Carefully remove the battery pack from the computer.
Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. 
Overcharging will shorten its life, and reverse charging 
could damage it.
Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with 
another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can 
cause it to overheat and may cause damage to the battery 
or the computer.
