Chapter 3. Using Your Computer
Using the Battery Pack and AC Adapter
When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you
depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different computer
components consume power at different rates. The more you use the
power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.
Your Computer Batteries
Your computer batteries enable you to do more, save more, and spend
more time unplugged. Mobility has revolutionized business by enabling you
to take your work wherever you go. With your computer batteries, you will
be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet.
NOTE:
The operating system may run slower when using the battery mode.
Removing and Replacing the Battery
WARNING:
Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
This computer should only use a battery purchased from us. Do not use
batteries from other computers.
Before removing the battery, shut down the computer, and remove
external cables (including the AC adapter).
To remove the battery:
① Shut down the computer and turn it over.
