Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or

corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat

source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave

oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over

60°C (140°F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak

acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not

pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical

attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the

battery, charging will not occur at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C

(104°F).

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three

complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the

operation time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use

only the approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with the approved

chargers designated for this device.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery

that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection

of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like

metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a

spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may

damage the battery or the connecting object.

The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is left in

hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter. Always try to

keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or

cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.

Battery performance is especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also

explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please

recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery, which

could affect performance.

Replacing the battery pack

The notebook uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as

that which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may

present a risk of fire or explosion.

Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not

disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from

children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used

batteries.

Battery pack

The computer uses a battery pack that gives you long use between

English

charges.

Battery pack characteristics

The battery pack has the following characteristics:

• Employs current battery technology standards.

• Delivers a battery-low warning.

The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the

AC adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to

recharge the battery while you continue to operate the computer.

However, recharging with the computer turned off results in a

significantly faster charge time.

The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power

failure. It is advisable to have an extra fully charged battery pack

available as backup. Contact your dealer for details on ordering a spare

battery pack.

Maximizing the battery's life

Like all other batteries, your computer's battery will degrade over

time. This means that the battery's performance will diminish with

time and use. To maximize your battery's life, you are advised to

adhere to the recommendations set out below.

Conditioning a new battery pack

Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a

"conditioning" process that you should follow:

1 Insert the new battery without turning the computer on.

2 Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.

3 Disconnect the AC adapter.

4 Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.

5 Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.

6 Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.

15

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and

English

discharged three times.

Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't

been used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more

than two weeks, you are advised to remove the battery pack from the

unit.

Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°C

(32°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Extreme temperatures may adversely

affect the battery pack.

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your

battery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this

procedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery

charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by

the following usage patterns:

• Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery

inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to

remove the battery pack after it is fully charged.

• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as

described above.

• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach

the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life

span of about 300 charges.

Installing and removing the battery pack

Important! Before removing the battery from the unit, connect

the AC adapter if you want to continue using your computer.

Otherwise, turn off the computer first.

To install a battery pack:

1 Align the battery with the open battery bay; make sure that the

end with the contacts will enter first, and that the top surface of

the battery is facing up.

2 Slide the battery into the battery bay and gently push until the

battery locks in place.

16

To remove a battery pack:

1 Slide the battery release latch to release the battery.

English

2 Pull the battery from the battery bay.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the

battery bay. Plug the AC

adapter into the computer, and connect to a

mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC

power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery

with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge

time.

Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for

the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables

you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.

Checking the battery level

The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the

cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's

present charge level.

Optimising battery life

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery

operation, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving

recharging efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set

out below:

• Purchase an extra battery pack.

• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go

use.

• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw

power (for selected model).

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended

temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F). Higher temperatures

cause the battery to self-discharge faster.

• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

17

English

Battery-low warning

When using battery power pay attention to the Windows power

meter.

Warning: Connect the AC adapter as soon as possible after the

battery-low warning appears. Data will be lost if the battery to

become fully depleted and the computer shuts down.

When the battery-low warning appears, the recommended course of

action depends on your situation:

Règles d’utilisation sure de la batterie

Ce notebook utilise une batterie au lithium-ion. N’utilisez pas dans un

environnement humide, mouillé ou corrosif. Ne placez pas, ne stockez pas et ne

laissez pas votre produit dans ou à proximité d’une source de chaleur, dans un

lieu à température élevé, dans la lumière directe du soleil, dans un four micro-

ondes ou dans un conteneur pressurisé, et ne l’exposez pas à des températures

supérieures à 60 °C (140 °F). Le non-respect de ces règles peut causer une fuite

d’acide de la batterie, sa surchauffe, son explosion ou son inflammation et

causer des blessures et/ou des dommages. Ne percez pas, n’ouvrez pas et

démontez pas la batterie. Si la batterie fuit et si vous êtes en contact avec des

liquides de la batterie, rincez abondamment avec de l’eau et consultez un

médecin immédiatement. Pour des raisons de sécurité, et pour prolonger

l’autonomie de la batterie, la charge ne se produira pas à des températures au-

dessous de 0 °C (32 °F) ou au dessus de 40 °C (104 °F).

La pleine performance d’une nouvelle batterie est atteinte seulement après

deux ou trois cycles complets de charge et de décharge. La batterie peut être

chargée et déchargée des centaines des fois, mais éventuellement elle s’usera.

l’habitude, achetez une nouvelle batterie. Utilisez uniquement les batteries

approuvées, et rechargez-les uniquement avec les chargeurs approuvés conçus

pour cet appareil.

N’utilisez cette batterie que pour le but à laquelle elle est destinée. N’utilisez

jamais de chargeur ou de batterie qui serait endommagé. Ne court-circuitez pas

la batterie. Un court-circuit accidentel peut se produire lorsqu’un objet

métallique, tel qu’une pièce de monnaie, un trombone ou un stylo cause une

connexion directe des bornes positive (+) et négative (-) de la batterie. (Ce sont

des bandes de métal sur la batterie.) Ceci peut se produire, par exemple, lorsque

vous avez une batterie de rechange dans votre poche ou votre sac. Le court-

circuit des bornes peut endommager la batterie ou l’objet connectant.

La capacité et l’autonomie de la batterie sera réduite si la batterie est laissée

dans un endroit chaud ou froid, tel qu’une voiture fermée en été ou en hiver.

Essayez de toujours conserver la batterie entre 15 °C et 25 °C (59 °F et 77 °F).

Un appareil avec une batterie chaude ou froide peut ne pas fonctionner

temporairement, même si la batterie est pleinement chargée. La performance

de la batterie est particulièrement limitée dans des températures inférieures à

0 °C.

Ne jetez pas les batteries dans un feu, car elles peuvent exploser. Les batteries

peuvent également exploser si elles sont endommagées. Mettez les batteries au

rebut en respect avec la réglementation locale. Si possible, veuillez les recycler.

régulièrement que tout appareil sans fil dans votre véhicule est installé et utilisé

correctement. Ne stockez pas et ne portez pas de liquides inflammables, de gaz

ou de matériaux explosifs dans le même compartiment que l’appareil, ses

composants ou améliorations. Pour les véhicules équipés d’airbags, rappelez-

vous que les airbags se déploient avec une grande force. Ne placez pas d’objets,

y compris un équipement sans fil portable ou installé dans la zone au-dessus de

l’airbag ou dans la zone de déploiement de l’airbag. Si l’équipement sans fil est

incorrectement installé à l’intérieur du véhicule et l’airbag se déploie, il y a un

risque de blessures sérieuses. L’utilisation de votre appareil en vol dans un avion

est interdite. Éteignez votre appareil avant d’embarquer dans un appareil.

L’utilisation d’appareils sans fil dans un avion peut être dangereuse pour le

fonctionnement de l’avion, peut perturber le réseau téléphonique sans fil et

peut être illégale.
