Storing a Battery Pack
If a computer will be unused and unplugged for more than
2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack(s).
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it
to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
High temperatures accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored
battery pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place
it in a cool, dry place within the following temperature ranges.
Recycling a Used Battery Pack
To determine if a battery pack recycling program is available in
your geographical region, refer on this CD to Regulatory and
Safety Notices. If your region is not covered, refer to Worldwide
Telephone Numbers, included with the computer, to contact a
Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
