Handling the Battery Pack
Installing the Battery Pack
Install an internal NiCad battery pack as follows. If the battery is new or not fully
charged, condition and/or charge the battery as described later in this chapter.
1. Turn off the computer, disconnect the AC Adapter and any other
external devices, and carefully lay the computer upside down on a
padded surface.
2. Insert the battery pack and integral cover into the computer's battery
compartment so that the two smaller tabs in the cover engage the
matching slots in the rear of the compartment.
3. Lower the battery pack into the computer battery compartment so that
the cover is Hush with the bottom of the computer case. Then slide the
locking latch toward the (closed padlock) symbol.
4. Turn the computer right side up and reconnect the AC Adapter and any
other external devices to the computer.
