BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
•
Always handle batteries carefully.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do
not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal
objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
•
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
•
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
•
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
•
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
•
Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapater whenever possible.
•
If your LifeBook notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapater overnight
to recharge the battery.
•
Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
•
Set the power management for maximum battery life.
•
Put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.
