The CF-28 was developed based on thorough research into the
real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur­suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to
innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration
damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal
connections. The CF-28's outstanding engineering has been
tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock)
and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be
taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling
procedures are recommended.

Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any
moisture.

Avoid Radio Frequency Interference

Do not place the computer near a television or
radio receiver.

Avoiding low-temperature burns

Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro­ducing area of the notebook computer, AC adap­tor, and any option or accessory you use with it.
Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature,
can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat
source for a long enough period of time.

Getting Started

Avoid Magnetic Fields

Keep the computer away from magnets.
Data stored on the hard disk may be lost.

Keep Small Objects Away

Do not insert paper clips or other small objects
into the computer.

Precautions (Battery Pack)

Care should be exercised with regard to the following in or­der to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage.

Avoid Heat

Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or ex­pose it to excessive heat.

Keep Articles Away

Do not place the battery pack together with articles
such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor­ing.

Do Not Disassemble

Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble,
or modify it.

Do Not Short

Getting Started

Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery
pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty
or damaged.
Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become
wet.

Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) con­tacts.

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight

Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for ex­tended periods where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny
day, for example), or in a cold place.

Do Not Use With Any Other Computer

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended
for the specified computer or charger . Do not use it
with a computer other than the one for which it was
designed.

Do Not Put into a Microwave

Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven
or a pressurized chamber.

Stop Using

Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become
hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape,
or become in any way different from normal, remove
it from the computer or charger and stop using it.

If 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 50% and
store it in a cool, dry place.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re­charging only when the remaining power is less than ap­prox. 95% of capacity.
The 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.
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 outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F})

"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.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature
range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature
environments. If the high temperature mode is enabled in
the Setup Utility ( “Setup Utility”), a level of
100% in the [High Temperature] mode is about a level
of 80% in the [Normal Temperature] mode.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of
time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack
becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging
do not restore its performance, the battery pack should
be replaced with a new one.
When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or
bag, 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.

If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This
is not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.
High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either
fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function­ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.

When an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the
computer, the external display may no longer display properly when the computer enters the
condition the power of the display is off (for energy conservation purposes). In such cases,
turn off the power to the external display.

Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the screen. Restart the computer.
