Preface
The Computer’s CMOS Battery Care
CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) is a semiconductor
chip located on the motherboard, which is powered by a battery
dedicated to supporting the CMOS, “CMOS Battery.” The CMOS stores
information such as the system time and system settings for your
computer.
Caution: The CMOS battery is not rechargeable;
to avoid costly repairs to replace the CMOS
battery you should take the following
p
recautions.
 The system requires periodic use in order to ensure the intended
lifespan of the CMOS battery. Ideally, this requires periodic
operation of the system using either the main system battery or
the AC Adapter
 Storage of the notebook without use for any period of time is not
recommended.
