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 im-
mediately.
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 Specifi ed
Use only the specifi ed battery pack (CF-VZSU46U) 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).
When the battery pack has become degraded, replace it
with a new one
Continued use of a degraded battery pack may generate high
levels of heat, cause a fi re to start and cause the pack to burst
or explode.
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 be-
come wet.
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 40% and
store it in a cool, dry place.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-
charging only when the remaining power is less than approx.
95% of capacity.
The battery pack is not charged when the computer is fi rst
purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the fi rst
time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer,
charging begins automatically.
Should the battery leak and the fl uid get into your eyes, do
not rub your eyes. Immediately fl ush 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 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 {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. (
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.
