Battery Notice

!WARNING: Your computer is provided with a Lithium battery-powered

Real-Time Clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion and risk of

personal injury if the battery is incorrectly replaced or not handled

properly. Do not attempt to recharge the battery, disassemble it,

immerse it in water, or dispose of it in fire. Replacement is to be done

by a Compaq authorized service provider using the Compaq spare

designated for this product.

!WARNING: Your computer contains an internal Nickel Metal Hydride

or Lithium Ion Battery Pack. There is risk of fire and chemical burns if

the battery pack is not handled properly. Do not disassemble, crush,

puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Do

not expose to temperatures higher than 60° C.

Battery packs and the Real Time Clock Battery should be recycled

or disposed of according to local regulations.

Energy Star Compliance

Compaq notebook computers are compliant with the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star Computers

Program. The Energy Star Computers Program was created by the

EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through

more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices and factories.

Compaq products achieve this by reducing the power consumption

when not being used. Using the power-saving features will reduce

energy use and maximize battery life.
