Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION:
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace the battery only with the computer manufacturer’s battery
packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
A battery pack can get hot due to long working hours. Do not touch a
hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing a battery pack, put it
in a well-ventilated area.
NOTE:
You can hot swap one battery pack while the other one is supplying the
power. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the
battery pack is between -21°C (-5.8 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F).
If you have the high-capacity battery model, the battery pack looks
different from the one shown here. The removal and installation
method is the same.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. If the Keyboard Dock is connected, detach it. (See “Detaching the
Keyboard Dock” in Chapter 1 for instructions.)
2. Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack.
Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. After turning off
the computer, allow a cool-down time of at least 5 minutes before
removing the battery pack.
3. Slide the lock of the battery release latch upwards to the unlocked
position.
4. Slide the battery release latch toward the left (
). The battery pack will
slightly pop up. Remove the battery pack from its compartment (
).
