With the computer turned on, the battery pack will recharge in less than five hours. To avoid loss of data, save data, then either turn off the computer or initiate Hibernation or Suspend before removing the battery. ! WARNING: Your computer contains a lithium Ion battery pack. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled properly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60qC. Replace only with the Compaq spare designated for this product. ! WARNING: Batteries/battery packs and accumulators should not be disposed of with general household waste. In order to forward them to recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or return them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq Partners, or other agents. Using a New Battery Pack IMPORTANT: A new battery pack should be fully charged before it is used for the first time. The battery pack will work partially charged, but the battery gauge will not show an accurate charge until the battery pack receives its first full charge.
