Battery Power	19

Battery Indicator

Battery indicator	Battery status

Not lit	The battery pack is not inserted or not being charged.

Orange	Charging is in progress.

Green	The battery is fully-charged.

Blinking green	In high temperature mode, the battery pack is discharging the power to 80%*1 of normal
	temperature mode (Î page 21). Do not remove the battery pack in this status.

Red	The remaining battery is approximately 9% or less.

Blinking red	The battery pack or the charging circuit is not operating properly.

Blinking orange	The battery cannot be charged temporarily due to the following reasons:
	• Its internal temperature is out of the acceptable range.
	• The power supply is not enough because software applications or peripheral
	devices are consuming a large amount of power.

Blinking green and	The temperature is low and the computer is warming up to prevent the hard disk drive
orange alternately	from malfunctioning. The computer will start automatically after warming-up.

*1 In high temperature mode, the 100% battery level is equivalent to 80% level of the normal temperature mode.

NOTE

zOnce the battery is fully charged, the computer performs recharging only when the battery level becomes less than approximately 95%, so overcharging is avoided.

Battery Power	20

Checking the Remaining Battery Charge

You can check the remaining battery charge on the screen.

(After logging on to Windows)

1 Press Fn+F9.

zWhen the battery pack is inserted (example)

:Normal temperature mode (Î page 21)

:High temperature mode (Î page 21)

zWhen the battery pack is not inserted

NOTE

zThe battery display may not correspond to the actual remaining battery charge in the cases as below. To correct the display, perform the Battery Recalibration (Î page 23).

•The battery indicator remains red.

•The indicator lights orange and the display shows 99% for a long time.

•Low battery warning appears soon after a short time of use.

This can occur when the computer is in standby mode for a long time without power supply from the AC adaptor.

zThe battery display may not be the same as that of notification area or of [Power Meter] in [Power Options Properties]. This is not a malfunction.

Battery Power	21

High temperature mode

The high temperature mode can prevent the battery from deteriorating when the computer is used in high-temperature environment or used for a long time with its battery fully charged.

Select [Auto] (default) or [High Temperature] in [Environment] of the [Main] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page 59).

NOTE

zNote that a level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature mode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal temperature mode.

zAfter switching from [Normal Temperature] to [High Temperature] or vice versa, the remaining battery capacity will not be displayed correctly until the battery pack is completely discharged or fully charged.

zIn the [Auto] mode:

Once the computer has automatically switched from the normal temperature mode to the high temperature mode, the computer will not switch back to the normal temperature mode until the battery has been used and recharged to a total charge level of about five times as much as that of the fully-charged state. This is to avoid battery deterioration.

Correcting the Battery Display (Battery Recalibration)

The “Battery Recalibration” function measures and memorizes the battery capacity. To correct the battery display, use this function to fill the battery and then discharge it completely. Perform the procedure at least once immediately after purchasing the computer. Normally the interval of battery recalibration is three months. The battery display may not be correct when the battery pack deteriorates after a long time use. In this case, perform the procedure again.

Connect the AC adaptor.

Close all the applications.

Perform “Battery Recalibration”.

AClick [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [Battery Recalibration].

BWhen the confirmation message appears, click [Start].

z Frequent recalibration of the battery can degrade the battery. A caution message appears when the battery recalibration is performed at the shorter interval than approximately a month. In this case, cancel the battery recalibration.

CWhen the message requests shut down of Windows, click [Yes]. The battery recalibration starts.

After the battery pack is fully charged, discharging starts. When the discharging is completed, the power goes off automatically.

After the battery recalibration is finished, normal charging starts.

NOTE

zThe temperature range should be 10°C to 30°C {50°F to 86°F}.

zThe battery recalibration may take a long time due to the large battery capacity. This is not a malfunction.

•Full charge: Approximately 4.5 hours [max.]

•Complete discharge: Approximately 4.5 hours

zIf the computer is turned off during the battery recalibration (e.g., due to power failure, or accidental removal of the AC adaptor and battery pack), the battery recalibration will not be completed.

zYou can also perform the battery recalibration with the following procedure.

A Restart the computer.

B Press F9 while the [Panasonic] boot screen is displayed just after the computer starts the startup procedure. C When the remaining battery capacity is displayed, press Enter.

D Follow the on-screen instructions.

Battery Power	24

Replacing the Battery Pack

The battery pack (CF-VZSU48U) is a consumable item so the replacement will be necessary. If the battery operation time becomes noticeably short and not recovered even after recalibrating the battery, replace with a new battery.

CAUTION

z The battery pack is not charged when you first purchase it. Be sure to charge it before using for the first time. Charging starts automatically when the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.

z Use only the specified battery pack with your computer.

z In the standby mode, do not remove/replace the battery pack. Otherwise your data will be lost and the computer may be damaged.

1 Turn off the computer.

z Do not use the standby function.

2 Remove/Insert the battery pack.

z To remove

A Slide the latch (A) to the right to unlock the cover. B Slide the latch (A) down, and open the cover.

C Pull the tab (B) of the battery pack.
