Replacing the battery

Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and

settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A

battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.

The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life;

however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and

configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is

displayed when you turn on the computer.

Refer to the "Lithium battery notice" in the Safety and Warranty Guide for

information about replacing and disposing of the battery.
