Changing batteries
Replacing the main battery
To replace the main battery:
1 Disconnect your notebook from the optional port replicator (see
“Disconnecting from the port replicator” on page 90).
2 If your notebook is on and is connected directly to AC power (not
using a port replicator) or has a charged secondary battery installed,
go to Step 3.
-OR-
If your notebook is on, is not plugged into an AC outlet, and does
not have a charged secondary battery installed, save your work and
turn off the notebook.
3 Close the LCD panel.
4 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up.
5 Slide the battery lock to the unlocked position.
6 Slide the battery release latch, then slide the battery out of the
notebook.
