Should 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
The battery pack may become
warm during recharging or normal
use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if
internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C
{32°F to 122 °F}).
( Reference Manual “Battery
Power”) Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging
begins automatically. Note that the
recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging
takes longer than usual when the
temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or
below.)
In high-temperature environments,
the battery takes longer to fully
recharge and the operating time is
shorter. Only use the computer
within the allowable temperature
range.
This computer has a high tempera-
ture mode function that prevents the
degradation of the battery in high
temperature environments. (
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 temperature mode.
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.
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.
Always power off the computer
when it is not in use. Leaving the
computer on when the AC adaptor
is not connected will exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.
