Precautions (Battery Pack)
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharg-
ing or normal use.  This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence outside of the allow-
able 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 short-
ened.  Only use the computer within the allowable tem-
perature 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 re-
charging 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.
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-
age.
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 ar-
ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-
ing or storing.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-
semble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)
contacts.
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-
light
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 in-
tended 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, be-
come 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 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 pos-
sible.
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 be-
come wet.
