5 Charge the battery pack until the battery light glows
green.
❖ If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.
❖ If you will not be using the system for an extended
period, more than one month, remove the battery pack.
❖ Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully
charged. 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 adapter.
❖ 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 replacing, 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 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.
