Precautions (Battery Pack)

Do Not Use With Any Other Product

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the

speciﬁ ed product. If it is used with a product other than the one

for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, generation of

heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than

Those Speciﬁ ed

If the battery is not charged using one of the speciﬁ ed methods,

electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may

result.

Do Not Throw the Battery Pack Into a Fire or Expose It to

Excessive Heat

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, In Direct Sunlight, for

Example)

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may

result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects Into the Battery Pack, Expose

It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may

result.

 If this product is subjected to a strong impact, stop using it im-

mediately.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Contacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not place

the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or

hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Product with a Battery Pack Other Than

the One Speciﬁ ed

Use only the speciﬁ ed battery pack (CF-VZSU46U) with your

product. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured

and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (gen-

eration of heat, ignition or rupture).

When the battery pack has become degraded, replace it

with a new one

Continued use of a degraded battery pack may generate high

levels of heat, cause a ﬁ re to start and cause the pack to burst

or explode.

 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.

 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.

Do Not Use With Exposing the Skin To This Product For a

Long Period of Time

Using this product with exposing the skin to the heat source of

this product or AC adaptor for a long period of time can cause a

low-temperature burn.



Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.

 Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the

hard disk may be lost.

 The battery pack is not charged when the computer is ﬁ rst

purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the ﬁ rst

time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer,

charging begins automatically.

 Should the battery leak and the ﬂ uid get into your eyes, do

not rub your eyes. Immediately ﬂ ush 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 if internal temperature of the

battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0

°C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).

( Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allow-

able range requirement is satisﬁ ed, 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 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. ( Reference Manual “Battery Power”) A

level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature

mode 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 by using a particular battery

pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging

does 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.
