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.

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 Computer with a Battery Pack Other Than the One Speciﬁed

Use only the speciﬁed battery pack (CF-VZSU48U) with your CF-19. 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

zThe battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal.

zRecharging 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}).

(Î 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.)

zIf the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range.

zThis computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high

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 temperature mode.
