DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 12/8/04 – FOR PROOF ONLY
For optimal computer performance and to help preserve BIOS settings, operate your Dell™
computer with the battery installed at all times. Use a battery to run the computer when it is not
connected to an electrical outlet. One battery is supplied as standard equipment in the battery bay.
Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions.
NOTE: Battery operating time (the time it can hold a charge) decreases over time. Depending on how
often the battery is used and the conditions under which it is used, you may need to purchase a new
battery during the life of your computer.
Operating time is significantly reduced when you perform operations including, but not limited to,
the following:
Using optical drives, such as DVD or CD drives
Using wireless-network communications devices, PC Cards, or USB devices
Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-intensive programs
such as 3D games
Running the computer in maximum performance mode
NOTE: It is recommended that you connect your computer to an electrical outlet when it is writing to a
CD or DVD.
You can check the battery charge by pressing the battery-charge status button on the battery. You
can also set power management options to alert you when the battery charge is low.
CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. Replace the
battery only with a compatible battery purchased from Dell. The lithium-ion battery is designed to work
with your Dell computer. Do not use a battery from other computers with your computer.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your battery no longer holds a
charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental agency for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion
battery. See "Battery Disposal" in the Product Information Guide.
CAUTION: Misuse of the battery may increase the risk of fire or chemical burn. Do not puncture,
incinerate, disassemble, or expose the battery to temperatures above 65°C (149°F). Keep the battery
away from children. Handle damaged or leaking batteries with extreme care. Damaged batteries may
leak and cause personal injury or equipment damage.
