a damaged battery, the circuit damage may occur and possibly cause fire.
Always use the charger designed for this computer to recharge the battery. Incorrect
recharging may cause the battery to explode.
Do not try to service a battery by yourself. For battery service or replacement, please
contact your service representatives.
Please dispose of damaged battery promptly and carefully. Explosion or leakage may
occur, if the battery is exposed to fire, improperly handled or discarded.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable
battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its service life,
under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your
local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling
options or proper disposal. Danger of explosion may possibly
occur, if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or the equivalent battery recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard the used battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
