Precautions
The CF-P1 was developed based on thorough research into real-world portable computing
environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to
innovations such as the magnesium alloy exterior and flexible internal connections.
The CF-P1's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for
vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid to the CF-P1
damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended.
Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture.
Avoid Extreme Heat and Cold
Do not store or use the computer in locations
exposed to heat (in an automobile on a sunny
day, for example), direct sunlight, or extreme
cold.
Avoid moving the computer between locations with large temperature differences.

-25 oC to 60 oC {-13 oF to 140 oF}
30% to 90% RH (No condensation)
Avoid Radio Frequency Interference
Do not place the computer near
a television or radio receiver.
Be careful of low-temperature burns
Avoid more than casual contact
with any heat producing area of
the computer, AC adaptor, and
any option or accessory you use
with it. Even low heat, if warmer
than the body’ s temperature, can
cause burns, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a
long enough period of time.
Avoid Magnetic Fields
Keep the computer away from
magnets.
Avoid Stacking
Do not place heavy objects on
the computer.
Keep Small Objects Away
Do not insert paper clips or other
small objects into the computer.
Do Not Disassemble the computer
Do not attempt to disassemble
your computer.
Avoid Excessive Force on the
LCD
Do not apply excessive downward force on the LCD.
Handling
Do not drop or hit your computer against
solid objects.
Remove all cables before transporting your
computer.
We recommend that the battery be fully
charged. We also recommend that the subbattery (a built-in coin type battery) be fully
charged.
When transporting spare batteries inside a
package, briefcase, etc., we recommend
that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Always carry your computer with you
when traveling. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an
aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines
regarding their policy on this issue.
It is a good idea to make backup copies on
SD/Multi Media Cards and carry them with
you.

Precautions
Peripherals
Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead
to a decrease in performance, an increase in
temperature and/or damage your computer.
Battery Pack
Care should be exercised with regard to
the following in order to avoid the possibility of over-heating, fire, or damage.
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 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, or deform, disassemble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and
negative (-) contacts.
Avoid Extr eme 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
an automobile on a sunny day,
for example), or in a cold place.
Do Not Put Into a Microwave
Do not put the battery pack into
a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber.
6
Do Not Use With Any Other
Device
The battery pack is rechargeable
and was intended for the specified computer . Do not use it with
a device other than the one for
which it was designed.
Stop Using
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 and
stop using it.
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.
If the battery leaks and the fluid gets 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 (5 °C to 40
°C {41°F to 104°F}). 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
off 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 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 adaptor is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product
you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
L’appareil que vous vous êtes procuré est alimenté par une
batterie au lithium-ion. Pour des renseignements sur le
recyclage de la batterie, veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY.
