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 fire 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
become 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 b attery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:
75%) 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 if internal tempera-
ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131
°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.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is
shortened. Only use the computer within the
allowable temperature range.
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 pack-
age, 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.
