This computer is not intended for a use with connection of
medical equipment for the purpose of medical diagnosis.
z Panasonic shall not be liable for loss of data or other
incidental or consequential damages resulting from the
use of this product.
z Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The
battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
z Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
z 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.
z This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
z 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.
z Should the battery leak and the fluid get into your
eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your

that the recharging time varies based on the usage
conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when
the temperature is 10 °C or below.)
z If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range.
z This computer has a high temperature mode function
that prevents the degradation of the battery in high
temperature environments. (Î Reference Man-
ual “Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%
charge for high temperature mode is approximately
equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal temperature mode.
z 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.
z When transporting a spare battery inside a package,
briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
z 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.
