Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation might generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture. Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause injury. The battery pack can explode if not replaced, used, handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements. Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature from 5 through 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate, and the battery life might be shortened. Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode, as data might be lost. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is enabled, as data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the Wake-up on LAN function. Charging the batteries When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes, the computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off. You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged. Procedures To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack and plug the other end into a working outlet. The DC IN/Battery indicator glows amber while the battery is being charged. Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger. Charging Time (R30-D/A30-D) The following table shows the approximate time required to charge an exhausted battery fully.
