Battery types
The computer has two types of batteries:
Battery pack
Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
Battery pack
When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer’s main power
source is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this
manual as the battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for
extended use of the computer away from an AC power source.
Before you remove the battery pack, set the computer to Hibernation
mode or save your data and set Boot mode. Do not change the battery
pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not
properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery
as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries
recommended by Toshiba as replacements.
If you are using Windows 98, do not remove the battery pack while the
computer is in
Standby mode
. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer
loses power it will be lost. It is a good idea to save your data before
shutting down the computer in Standby mode.
Real Time Clock battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real
time clock and calendar. It also maintains the system configuration.
If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the system loses this
data and the real time clock and calendar stop working. The following
message appears when you turn on the power:
**** Bad RTC battery ****
**** Bad Check sum (CMOS) ****
Check system. Then press [F1] key.
The computer’s RTC battery is a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery
and should be replaced only by your dealer or by a Toshiba service
representative. The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used,
handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local
ordinances or regulations.
