Changing the Battery
If you plan to make frequent and prolonged use of the battery pack while traveling,
you may want to consider the purchase of an optional CE-A40EB battery pack from
your dealer, and keep it with you in fully charged state as a backup. Install the
second battery pack in place of the CD-ROM drive or the 3.5-inch floppy drive.
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace the battery only with Sharp’s optional battery packs. Discard
used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.

packs. Installation is the same as described above for the battery pack. When the
floppy drive is installed, it is accessible as drive A: to DOS and the Windows
Explorer. When the CD-ROM drive is installed, it is accessible as drive R:. Refer to
