Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium 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

Warning

Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble or

dispose of them in fire.

Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.

Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.

Important

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.
