Precautions (Battery Pack)
zCare 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 hair-
pins 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 charge the battery using the 
methods other than indicated in this 
manual
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 micro-
wave 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.zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack.  The 
battery pack may no longer function properly if the 
contacts are dirty or damaged.
zDo not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to 
become wet.
zIf 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.
zThis computer prevents overcharging of the battery by 
recharging only when the remaining power is less than 
approx. 95% of capacity.
zThe 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.
zShould 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
zThe battery pack may become warm during 
recharging or normal use.  This is completely nor-
mal.
zRecharging will not commence outside of the 
allowable temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F 
to 131 °F}). (Î Chapter 2: Battery Power in 
onscreen Reference Manual)  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.)
zIf the temperature is low, the operating time is 
shortened.  Only use the computer within the 
allowable temperature range.
zThe battery pack is a consumable item.  If the 
amount of time the computer can be run off a par-
ticular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter 
and repeated recharging does not restore its per-
formance, the battery pack should be replaced 
with a new one.  
zWhen transporting a spare battery inside a pack-
age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be 
placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-
tected.
zAlways power off the computer when it is not in 
use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-
tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-
tery capacity.
