58-E-1
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).
(
Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allow-
able range requirement is satisfi ed, charging begins auto-
matically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when
the temperature is 10 °C 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. (
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, brief-
case, 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.
