charger 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 computer 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 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.

“Batrange (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F})
tery Power”. 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 computer within the allowable temperature range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. (
“Battery Power”) A level
corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature is
approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal 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 rechargings
do 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.
