To disconnect your computer completely from an AC power source, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

Make sure that the AC outlet is easily accessible.

How To Remove the Battery Pack:

1. Turn off the computer and close the LCD screen lid.

2. Slide the battery LOCK  switch outward.

3. Slide and hold the battery RELEASE  latch outward, put your fingertip underneath the tab on the battery pack, and lift the battery pack in the direction of the arrow, and then slide it away from the computer.
