9. Caution on the use of the battery: Use only the battery recommended
by the manufacturer or the same type of battery installed by the
manufacturer. Incorrect battery may cause explosion or fire hazard.
Recycle or discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instruction or your local authorities.
10. The device uses nonvolatile memory that requires a battery to retain
system information when power is removed. The 3V lithium battery is
onboard the system. Battery life depends on the amount of time the
computer is powered on. If the computer does not display the correct
time and date, replace the battery.
IMPORTANT:Loss of BIOS settings occurs when the battery is removed.
BIOS settings must be reconfigured whenever the battery is replaced.
WARNING:A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not
handled properly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or short external
contacts, or expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60 °C (140 °F).
Do not dispose of a used battery in water or fire.
CAUTION:There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
