When to Replace the Battery

Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery

when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.

WARNING

There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the

same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

Changing the Battery

Change the main battery pack as follows:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Disconnect external power

3. Close the display and turn the computer over.

4. Rotate the latches on the battery door to the open

position and remove the door. Remove the

battery.

5. Make sure the replacement battery is properly

orientated. Insert the battery into the battery

compartment. Check that the latches lock back into position.

6. Charge the new battery by plugging the computer into AC power.

Heat Considerations

The computer’s processor has been specially designed to consume little power and generates very little

heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature.

Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:

1. The cooling fan turns on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent near the right rear

of the computer when this happens.

2. If the temperature continues to rise, Processor activity is reduced. You may notice a slight loss of

performance when this happens.

3. If the computer overheats, the processor will stop functioning and the computer will shutdown.
