Removing the Lithium Battery
1. Turn off the computer, monitor, and then disconnect power from the
computer.
2. Remove the outside cover.

profile computers, skip to step 4.
4. Remove the old battery by lifting the retaining clip slightly and then by
pushing on the battery from the side to slide it out.
WARNING:
There is a danger of battery explosion if a lithium
battery is incorrectly replaced. To prevent damage to the
computer, be sure the + side faces up when installing a new
battery. Also, be sure you replace the battery with either a
DIGITAL (P/N 12-41474-05), Toshiba (P/N CR2032), or
equivalent 3 V dc lithium battery.
Depending on the locality, the computer’s battery might be
considered hazardous waste. Make sure you follow any state or
local statute to properly dispose of the old battery.
