one month, remove the battery pack.

Replacing the battery pack
The battery pack is classified as a consumable item.
The operating life of the battery pack will gradually reduce through
repeated charging and discharging. It will need to be replaced when it
reaches the end of its operating life.
You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare
when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source.
This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack.
To remove a discharged battery pack, follow the steps below.
1.
Turn off the computer’s power.
2.
Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer’s power. If it
does not turn on go to step 4.
3.
Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If the
battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time, continue
operating until the battery pack is fully discharged. If the
Battery
indicator flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a low
battery, go to step 4.
4.
Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and the power cord to a
power outlet. The
DC IN
indicator should glow blue, and the
Battery
indicator should glow orange to indicate that the battery
pack is being charged. If the
DC IN
indicator does not glow, power
is not being supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor
and power cord.
5.
Charge the battery pack until the
Battery
indicator glows blue.
■
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby
mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be
lost.
■
In Hibernation mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
HDD
indicator to go out.
■
Do not touch the battery release latch while holding the computer or the
battery pack might fall out due to the unintentional release of the
battery release latch and cause injuries.
