10 - First things first

• Device with built-in battery: A built-in battery must be replaced by an

authorized service center. Do not attempt to replace or remove the

battery by yourself.

• Device with removable battery: The battery should only be replaced

with  parts  approved  by Acer.  Do  not  replace  the  battery  with  any

parts other than approved ones.

This notebook uses a Lithium-based battery. Do not use it in a humid,

wet or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product

in  or  near  a  heat  source,  in  a  high  temperature  location,  in  strong

direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and

do not expose it to temperatures over 50 °C (122 °F).
Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid,

become  hot, explode  or ignite  and  cause  injury  and/or  damage. Do

not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and

you  come  into  contact  with  the  leaked  fluids,  rinse  thoroughly  with

water  and  seek  medical  attention  immediately.  For  safety  reasons,

and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will must not occur

at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 35 °C (95 °F).
The  full performance  of a new battery is  achieved  only  after  two  or

three  complete  charge  and  discharge  cycles.  The  battery  can  be

charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear

out.  When  the  operation  time  becomes  noticeably  shorter  than

normal, check an authorized reseller to purchase a new battery.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger

or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental

short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or

pen  causes  direct  connection  of  the  positive  (+)  and  negative  (-)

terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)

This  might  happen,  for  example,  when  you  carry  a  spare  battery  in

your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the

battery or the connecting object.
The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is

left in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter.

Always try to keep the battery between 15

°

C and 25

°

C (59

°

F and

77

°

F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,

even  when  the  battery  is  fully  charged.  Battery  performance  is

especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.
