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 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 an automobile on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place.

Do Not Use With Any Other Equipment

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified equipment or charger. Do not use it with an equipment other than the one for which it was designed.

Do not use this wireless display with a battery pack other than the one specified (the one included with the wireless display or the specified battery pack sold separately)

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 equipment and stop using it.

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 equipment 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 equipment is first purchased. Be sure to

charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the equipment, 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 45 °C {32°F to 113 °F}) page 18. 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 equipment within the allowable temperature range. The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the equipment 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. 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 equipment when it is not in use. Leaving the equipment on when the AC adaptor is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

Precaution

Avoiding low-temperature b urns

A v oid more than casual contact with an y heat producing area of the equipment, AC adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long enough period of time.

Starting Up/Shutting Down

Starting Up

CAUTION

Do not maximize the MS-DOS screen. Once maximized, the connection with the wireless display is interrupted and the screen cannot be returned to its original size.

If a computer establishes a connection with the wireless display while operating in a display mode other than those shown below, the display mode of the computer will change to 800 x 600 (16-bit). The wireless display cannot connect to a computer with no 800 x 600 (16-bit) setting.

Resolution: 800 x 600

Color Mode: 16-bit color If the connection with the wireless display is cut, the computer will return to its original display mode. In this case, the colors displayed on the screen may change if the color mode is changed (from 16-bit to 24-bit or vice versa). If a change is made to the display mode of a computer connecting to the wireless display, the connection will be cut, so we recommend not using software such as a screen saver. All of the contents displayed on the wireless display may not be the same as what was displayed on the LCD of the computer. Some applications that use hardware-based drawing functions, etc., might not be displayed. Some applications that perform frequent screen updating (such as video playback applications) might not be shown on the wireless display or might be shown as static images. Some 16-bit applications may not work properly. The screen display might be unable to reflect a change in the cursor's shape. The handwritten input of characters or pictures (via drawing) is not possible on the wireless display. (The wireless display will be unable to keep up with the processing speed and the picture data will differ from the expected output.) If many user accounts are created, some of accounts may not be displayed on the logon screen if the screen size is changed. We recommend not using the Welcome screen, and deleting the check mark for [Use the Welcome screen] in [start] [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] - [Change the way users log on or off].
