any external devices.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove any PC Cards.

WARNING: Metal objects can damage the battery pack as well as the
battery contacts in the battery compartment. To prevent damage, do not allow metal objects
to touch the battery contacts. Place only the battery pack for the Compaq Presario 305
Model Portable Computers into the battery compartment. Do not force the battery pack into
the bay if insertion does not occur easily. |

|
CAUTION: Do not crush,
puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not open a battery pack, as this damages the
pack, makes it unusable, and exposes potentially harmful battery components. There are no
field-serviceable parts located inside the battery pack. |

CAUTION: Failure
to disconnect the AC Adapter from the computer and remove the battery pack before removing
and installing internal components can damage the equipment. |
NOTE: |
The Compaq Presario 305 Model
Portable Computer has several screws of various sizes which are not
interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly to ensure that the correct screws
are used in their appropriate locations. During removal please keep screws with their
associated sub-assembly. |
