Tip 6. Preventing data loss
How to prevent data loss when removing the battery or storing
your computer
• You can lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is
operating on battery power. To prevent this, turn off the unit by
pressing
FN+OFF before you remove the battery.
• The computer is equipped with enough internal backup power to
maintain memory contents for about 5 minutes each time you
exchange batteries. Be careful not to exceed this 5 minute limit
when you replace the battery.
• If you plan to store your computer for more than 30 days, exit
Windows to save data to the hard disk, and then press
FN+OFF to
turn off the computer. Remove the battery before storing the
computer.
Tip 7. Returning batteries for service
• When shipping batteries, use non-static packing material to reduce
the possibility of static discharge. Placing the battery in a non-static
bag is ideal; however, wrapping the battery in paper or newspaper is
also acceptable.
• Contact your supervisor or your organizations help desk for correct
shipping procedures and information.
Tip 8. For more information
• The Battery Status and Battery Maintenance applications provide
battery troubleshooting information. From the Help menu for each
application, choose Contents (or Help Topics), and then choose
Troubleshooting, followed by Common Solutions to Common
Problems.
