Overcharging makes the battery hot and shortens its life. ❖ If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours, disconnect the AC adaptor. ❖ Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Disposing of used batteries The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack needs to be replaced, the main battery light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery. You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged. Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury. Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury. 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 nonconforming 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.

Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery
pack needs to be replaced, the main battery light flashes
amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing
it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g.,
microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to explode and/or
release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a
possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could
possibly result in serious injury.
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.
