Changing the Primary Battery Pack
The primary battery pack is the battery pack attached to the
computer.
NOTE:
For information on using a battery pack in the mobile
expansion unit MultiBay, refer to Chapter 5.
CAUTION:
If the computer is on, you must initiate
Hibernation or shut down power before removing or installing
the battery pack. Failure to do so will result in loss of
information.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the battery pack, do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the
battery pack or short the metal contacts. Do not attempt to
open or service the battery pack.
Removing the Primary Battery Pack
1. If the computer is on, save your work and initiate Hibernation
or shut down the computer.
2. Turn the computer bottom side up and tilt the battery pack so
it lies flat (covering all ports on the rear of the computer).
3. Slide in the two battery latches toward each other.
