Precautions (Battery Pack)
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage.
Avoid Heat
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or
expose it to excessive heat.
Keep Articles A way
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 a 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. 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.
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.
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 55 °C {32 °F to 131
°F}). ( “Battery Power”) Once the allowable
range requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto-
matically. 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.
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 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.
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 .
Getting Started
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.
