CAUTION

Handling the AC adapter

Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the connections. Use only the specified AC adapter (factory control number: CF-AA1526) with your computer. Using an AC adapter other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer. When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord from your AC wall outlet as well. If the cord is kept connected, a very low level of power equivalent to approximately 1.1 watts* will be consumed.

When the battery pack is not recharging or fully charged

Problems such as sudden voltage drops/surges may arise during periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, the uninterruptible power source (UPS) is highly recommended. Please make sure that the ferrite core is always attached to the plug of the AC adapter and in its proper position.

The ferrite core can be removed by unlatching the clamps with a pair of mini-pliers, etc.

CA UTION

Save all data before powering off your computer. When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do not touch the touch pad (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected). There are cases where these devices will fail to operate; you will have to restart your computer using the keyboard ( page 10). Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):

• While the FDD indicator ( ), HDD indicator ( ) or CD-ROM indicator ( ) (CD-ROM drive is an optional part) is on.

• While playing/recording audio files.

• While communications software is being used.

Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an OS other than Windows 95, the diagnostics program (DIAG35), or the Setup Utility, or when experiencing static electricity or noise.

If you hold down on the , or to enter the suspend or hibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example, if you

hold down on the key while sliding the power switch, upon resuming, if you do not press the key again, only capital letters will result from typing.

If your computer locks up, press the reset button. All data is lost when this button is pressed. In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC cards (e.g., modem card) are inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data at shutdown is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function. When the file in the external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, or ATA cards is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In such cases, close the file. SCSI cards may not recover operation after entering the suspend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.

Computing On the Road

One of the main features of notebook-type computers is that you have the power of computing away from your home or office. In the following, information is provided on how to maximize use of the battery pack which is necessary for such computing.

Four Important Points

Conserving Power

POINT

Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.

To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power management mode.

Check to see that you have your AC adapter with you before leaving your home or office.

Purchasing an extra battery (CF-VZS351) or the optional battery charger (CF-VCB251A) is highly recommended.

Always watch your battery level!

Things to Remember

Leave your computer off when it is not in use ( page 10) Adjust the brightness (dark) with + ( page 39)

Before stepping away from your computer, press + to

put your computer in the standby mode

The standby mode helps you conserve power by cutting off power to the hard disk drive’s motor and LCD. To resume, you may press any key.

In the power management mode, the setting of [Advanced] is

recommended

With the Setup Utility, you can set the [Advanced] mode. This mode allows you to maximize power save regardless of whether you are using only the battery pack or the AC adapter.

( page 13)

Setting the hibernation timeout ( page 13)

The hibernation function ( page 10) allows you to save power by automatically cutting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access to individual devices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Advanced] or [Standard (Battery/AC adapter)] is selected for [Power

Saving], the hibernation timeout function will go into effect for both the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however, [Standard (Battery)] or [OFF] is selected for [Power Saving], it will go into effect only during operation by the battery. The standby timeout function is automatically set when [Advanced] or [Standard] is set. Note that the standby

timeout precedes the hibernation timeout. It should be noted that for some applications, the hibernation timeout will not work properly.

NOTE

If you plan to use only the battery pack or set the power management, it is necessary to check [Allow Windows to manage power use on this computer] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power]. If no check is added, the hibernation timeout will not occur.

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

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

• The battery pack is a rechargeable battery intended for use with the CF-35 series or the specified charger (CF-VCB251A). Do not use it with a computer other than the one for which it was designed.

• 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 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 to water, or allow it to become wet. Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity. If the battery should leak and some of the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible. 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 unit or charger and discontinue use. If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time (a month or more), charge the battery pack until the remaining battery become 30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place.

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 (5 °C to 35 °C (41°F to 95 °F)). To allow the battery to charge, adjustments have to be made to the temperature. Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Therefore, please use the computer within the allowable temperature range. Although the battery has not begun to run down, the battery indicator may light up red or emit a beep. This indicates a significant rise in the temperature of the battery pack. This is typically caused by the fact that the battery pack has been delivering a high level of power because the computer has been used with the display at the brightest setting and with the power-saving function off. In order to protect the battery pack from temperature rises, the computer's processing speed is automatically reduced and the battery temperature is brought down. It is also a good idea to connect the AC adapter, set the power-saving function, and turn down the brightness of the display. When the temperature has dropped, the computer's regular processing speed will be restored.

Using the Battery Pack

Replacing the Battery Pack

When the charge provided by your battery pack is supplied for only a short period of time, even after fully charging according to the instructions, it may be time to replace your battery pack. The battery pack is a consumable item and therefore will require replacement (CF-VZS351).

CAUTION

The charging terminal of the battery pack is used for charging using the battery charger (CF-VCB251A), which is sold separately . Never connect anything to the charging terminal other than the exclusive adapter that is supplied with the battery charger. Doing so could damage the device connected to the battery pack, the cable, and the battery pack itself, as well as resulting in overheating or bursting.
