Traveling tips

Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or

an equivalent battery pack specified in the User's

Manual. Other battery packs have different voltage and

terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery packs

could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly

resulting in serious injury.

After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability

to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under

certain applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to

dispose of old batteries by placing them in the trash.

Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your

local government authority for details regarding where to

recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly.

In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling

programs, events and consumer promotions. For details,

please visit toshiba.com/recycle.
