Precautions (Battery Pack)

• Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of liquid leakage, overheat ing, or bursting.

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 ar ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry ing or storing.

Do Not Disassemble

Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,

expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas

semble, or modify it.

Do Not Short

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

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun light

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 in tended 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.

Discontinue Use

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

Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat

tery 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 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 first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first

time. When the AC adapter is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically. Should the battery leak and the Iluid 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.

• 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 45 °C {32°F to 113 °F})C?’

"Battery Power". Once the allowable range re quirement 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 less.)

• If the temperature is low', the operating time is shortened. Only use the computei' within the allowable temperature mnge.

• Although the battery has remaining capacity, the battery indicator may light up red or emit a beep. This indicates a significant rise in the temperature (60 °C {140 °F) or

more) of the battery pack "Battery Power". This is typically caused by the fact that the battery pack has been delivering a high level of power because the com puter has been used with the display at the brightest .set ting and with the power-saving function off. To protect the battery pack from increases in temperature, the brightness of the display automatically decreases, al lowing the temperature of the battery to drop. In this con dition, if the computer is left as is, it will automatically go off after about three minutes have elapsed. Within that period, therefore, be sure to connect the AC adapter or shut the computer OFF after saving any open data (if nec essary).

• The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of

time the computer can be run off a particuhir battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated rechargings 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 adapter is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.
