Keep Articles Away

Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Disassemble

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

Do Not Short

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

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight

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 car 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 intended 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, become 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 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 battery by recharging 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 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 outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}) "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 less.)

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. If the high temperature mode is selected in the Setup Utility ( “Setup Utility”), a level of maximum capacity in the [High Temperature] mode is below 65%.

The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated rechargings do not restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.

When transporting space batteries inside a package, 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.

When using peripheral devices

Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.

Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.
