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.
Operation

Temperature:

Storage

Temperature:
Humidity:

-20 oC to 50 oC {-4 oF to 122 oF}
30% to 80% RH (No condensation)

-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.

This computer will not correctly recognize the date and
time starting from the year 2100 A.D.

The battery level may be too low. If the battery level
goes below a certain threshold, the computer automati­cally shuts down. In such cases, connect the AC adap­tor and charge the battery.
The computer may have entered a locked state. If this is
the case, connect the AC adaptor and push the reset
switch. Check the remaining battery level and make sure
that multiple applications are not running simulta­neously. Close all applications that are not being used.

For Effective Use

Maintenance

LCD

Avoid using water when cleaning the panel. Ingredients included
in water may leave residue and reduce readability of the screen.

<When cleaning dust/dirt>

Avoid rubbing of f dust/dirt with cloth since it may leave scratch
on the screen.
Sweep dust/dirt with fine brush, then wipe it with “dry” soft
cloth used for cleaning glasses.

<When cleaning oily surface>

Apply camera lens cleaner on a soft gauze and clean it with
gentle force. Then, wipe with dry soft cloth used for cleaning
glasses.

Areas excluding the LCD

Wipe these areas with a soft cloth, after applying water or detergent diluted with water to the
soft cloth and firmly wringing out excess water.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the
surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household
cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
Do not directly add or spray water or detergent. If liquid enters the inside of the
computer, it may cause the computer to work improperly or be damaged.
