50 - Guidelines for safe battery usage
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE BATTERY
USAGE
This notebook uses a Lithium 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 60° C (140° 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 not occur at
temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or above 40° C (104° 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, buy a new battery.
Use only the approved batteries, and recharge your battery
only with the approved chargers designated for this device.
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.)
Warning
Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not
disassemble or dispose of them in fire.
Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.
Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
