•
Do not connect the computer to wall outlet while discharging the
battery. The initialization will be cancelled.
•
You can initialize the standard battery alone only if the optional
external battery pack is disconnected. When the external battery pack
is connected, both the standard and the external battery will be
initialized together.
Changing the Battery Pack
The capacity of a battery pack gradually decreases when used repeatedly (the
deterioration rate depends on the operating temperature and environment). If the
battery life becomes extremely short even after the initialization, you should change
the standard battery pack. Bring your computer to a local dealer for replacement of
the standard battery pack.
Never replace the standard battery pack by yourself.
