Precautions
The CF-29 was developed based on thorough research into the
real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur-
suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to in-
novations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration
damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal
connections. The CF-29’s outstanding engineering has been
tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock)
and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
As with any portable computer device precautions should be
taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling
procedures are recommended.
Avoiding low-temperature burns
Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro-
ducing area of  the notebook computer, AC adap-
tor, 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.
Avoid Magnetic Fields
Keep the computer away from magnets.
Data stored on the hard disk may be lost.
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 Display
Do not apply excessive downward force on the
display when it is completely opened, especially
when plugs and/or cables are connected to the rear
of the computer.
Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any mois-
ture.
Precautions (Battery Pack) 
						

							8
Getting Started
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging
or normal use.  This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of
the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature
range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}). (
  “Bat-
tery Power”)  Once the allowable range requirement is
satisfied, charging begins automatically.  Note that the
recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Re-
charging 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.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high tempera-
ture environments. (
  “Battery Power”)  A  level
corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature is
approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for nor-
mal temperature mode.
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 do
not restore its performance, the battery pack should be
replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-
case, 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.
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 re-
charging 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.
