Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack, Expose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

•If this product is subjected to a strong impact, stop using it immediately.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Contacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Product With a Battery Pack Other Than the One Specified

Use only the specified battery pack (Î page 10) with your product. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).

zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged.

zDo not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet.

zIf the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time (a month or more), charge or discharge (use) the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place.

zThis computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity.

zThe battery pack is not charged when the computer is first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically.

zShould the battery leak and the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible.

NOTE
z The battery pack may become warm during recharging
z Recharging will not commence if internal temperature		Getting
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable tempera-
ture range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122°F}) (Î	Ref-
erence Manual “Battery Power”). Once the allowable
range requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto-

matically. Note that the recharging time varies based

on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer			Information

that prevents the degradation of the battery in high			Useful
temperature environments. (Î		Reference Manual
“Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%
charge for high temperature mode is approximately
equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal tempera-
ture mode.			Troubleshooting
z Always power off the computer when it is not in use.
z The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount
of time the computer can be run by using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and
repeated recharging does not restore its performance,
the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.
z When transporting a spare battery inside a package,
briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not
connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity
