Operating and Handling • Never remove the battery pack while it is in use. If you need to replace the battery pack, make sure you have turned off the notebook power. • Leave the battery pack in place unless you will replace it. If you remove the battery pack, keep it away from conductors such as metals and water. In case the battery's pins get into touch with conductors, the battery may become unusable as a result of short-circuit. • When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect it from the electrical outlet first, then from the notebook. • To prevent data loss that may be caused by low battery, develop the habit of frequently saving your data to the hard drive or a diskette. • Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Maintaining • When you install a new battery, fully charge and discharge the battery at least once and then fully charge the battery before you begin to use the battery power for the first time. • Protect your notebook from extremes in temperature. (See "Environmental Specifications" in Appendix A for temperature range.) • Do not store fully-charged NiMH battery packs in a bulky, densely packed condition, otherwise the battery pack will overheat and subsequently melt the plastic case.
