Battery Packs
Storing a Battery Pack
If a computer will be unused and unplugged for more than two
weeks, remove and store the battery pack.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it
to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool,
dry place. High temperatures cause a battery pack to lose its
charge more quickly, thus reducing battery life.
The recommended storage temperature range is from 32°F to
86°F (0°C to 30°C).
Recycling a Used Battery Pack
To determine if the battery pack program is available in your
geographical region, refer to the Regulatory and Safety Notices
guide on this CD. If your region is not covered, refer to the
Worldwide Telephone Numbers guide included with the computer
and contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
