If you are going to store the computer, disconnect all peripheral devices and turn off the computer. Remove the
battery when you store your computer for an extended period of time. A battery will drain when not in use during
prolonged storage. After a long storage period, recharge the battery fully before you attempt to run your computer
from battery power.
Installing a Battery in the Battery Bay
NOTICE: To avoid data loss, do not replace a battery while the computer is turned on unless the
computer is connected to an electrical outlet or a second battery is installed.
To install a battery in the battery bay, perform the following steps (see Figure 2).
NOTES: You can also install a battery in the media bay.
If necessary, print these instructions for reference before proceeding.

your data in one of these ways, and then proceed to step 5:
