WARNING: This computer may contain a lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hydride battery pack. There is a
risk of fire and chemical burn if the battery pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crunch,
puncture, or short external contacts, dispose of in water or fire, or expose to temperatures higher than
140°F (60°C).
` ` ` `
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries with general household waste. To dispose of them or recycle
them, use the public collection system in accordance with local regulations or return them to Compaq,
an authorized Compaq Partner, or to the point-of-sale. In North America, dispose of nickel-metal-
hydride or lithium-ion batteries by taking advantage of the Compaq battery recycling program. You will
be provided with a postage-paid battery pack mailer pre-addressed to a reclamation facility where the
metals are recycled.
