Acer-approved adapter to power your device.

• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight. Do not

place it near sources of heat, such as a radiator.

• Do not expose the computer to temperatures below 0º C

(32º F) or above 50º C (122º F).

• Do not subject the computer to magnetic fields.

Note

If you cannot power off the computer normally, press and hold the

Here are some ways to take care of your AC adapter:

• Do not connect the adapter to any other device.

• Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on

top of it. Route the power cord and any cables away from

where people walk.

• When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord

itself but pull on the plug.

Guidelines for safe battery usage

Precautions when charging batteries

The useful lifespan of a battery is adversely affected by the

following behavior:

• Constantly charging the battery/device when already at

full capacity.

• Charging the battery/device at temperatures above 35 °C

(95 °F) or below 0 °C (32 °F).

To prevent damage, follow these precautions:

• Stop charging the battery once it reaches 100% capacity;

regularly or frequently charging a fully charged battery for

an extended period of time may cause battery deformation

or damage. We recommend that you recharge the device

when the battery level drops below 70% capacity.

• Do not charge battery in temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F)

or below 0 °C (32 °F). Charging in abnormally high or

abnormally low temperatures can cause battery

deformation or damage.

• The charging port must be clean and free from debris and

should only be used with Acer charging equipment. Use of

a non-Acer battery or charging equipment can cause

damage to the product and will void the warranty.

• If you plan to store the device for a long period of time,

turn-off the device, remove AC power and store the

product at room temperature (0 °C - 35 °C) in a dry

(humidity: 45% - 80%), well-ventilated area. Avoid direct

sunlight, high temperatures and high humidity. Do not

Warning

When using a charging cart or a small space to simultaneously

charge or operate multiple devices , the area must be well-

ventilated and the temperature kept between 0 °C (32 °F) to 35

°C (95 °F) and battery charging must be stopped when 100%

capacity is reached.

Continuous charging can cause deformation or damage to the

battery/device.

10 - First things first

leave your device’s battery completely discharged for a

long period of time; this may cause battery deformation or

damage. We recommend that the battery is checked and

charged to approximately 50% capacity every 6 months.

• ONLY CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A CLEAN, WELL

VENTILATED AREA.

Precautions when replacing the battery

Improper replacement or mishandling could damage the

battery, cause overheating, result in injury, and risk fire or

explosion.

• Device with built-in battery: A built-in battery must be

replaced by an authorized service center. Do not attempt

to replace or remove the battery by yourself.

• Device with removable battery: The battery should only be

replaced with parts approved by Acer. Do not replace the

battery with any parts other than approved ones.

This notebook uses a Lithium-based battery. Do not use it in

a humid, wet or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or

leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high

temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a

microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not

expose it to temperatures over 50 °C (122 °F).

Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to

leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury

and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the

battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with

the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek

medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to

prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will must not

Warning

Batteries may explode if not handled properly.

Do not disassemble or dispose of batteries in fire.

Do not short external contacts, crush, puncture or otherwise

tamper with batteries. Keep batteries away from children.

Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
