Read Me First
Precautions (Battery Pack)
Care 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.
Getting Started
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with articles
such as necklaces or hairpins 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 an automobile 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 intended
for the specified computer or charger. 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, become
hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape,
or become in any way different from normal, remove
it from the computer or 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 50% 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.
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.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging
or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F})
"Battery 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 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 temperature
environments. If the high temperature mode is enabled in
the Setup Utility (
“Setup Utility”), a level of
100% in the [High Temperature] mode is about a level
of 80% in the [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 recharging
do not restore its performance, the battery pack should
be replaced with a new one.
When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or
bag, 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.
When Using Peripheral Devices
Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also,
in addition to following this manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.
Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.

connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer. Using an AC adaptor
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder
and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.

Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS/EDGE modem. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the
following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions
violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Panasonic
assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use
of mobiles. Switch Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS/EDGE modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and
hearing aids can be affected by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld
Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem placed close to the device.
If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of
the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients
are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE
modem before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently.
The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference
with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS/EDGE modem in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off
the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical
plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical
equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE
modem receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember
that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately
shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer
incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem while driving a vehicle. Do not place the
computer with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem in an area where it could cause personal
injury to the driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the boot or
secure stowage area while driving.
Do not place the computer with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem in an area over an air
bag or in the vicinity where an air bag may deploy.
Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem
is placed in the air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE
modem operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to
connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld
Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem must be switched on and in
a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or
phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem.
