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 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 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.
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 45 °C {32°F to 113 °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 less.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature
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 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.
Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.
Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.
If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) .
If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.
Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.

About Regions Setting
The DVD-Video has a region code that is fixed according to the region where it is sold. In order to play a DVD-Video, the
region code of the player software and of the drive must match that of the DVD-Video.

For U.S.A. and Canada: “1”
For Europe: “2”
The region code is not set prior to the shipment of this drive. Therefore, operations will differ depending on the first DVDVideo played.
In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set with the same region code as the DVD-Video.
In the case of any other DVD-Video:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code and select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not be displayed for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current region code and the number of
settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD screen and select [Setup]-[Region].)
NOTE
[Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is inserted into a drive for which another
region code has already been set.
CAUTION
The region code can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed very carefully, because after the fourth
change has been made, the region code set last is fixed and no further changes can be made.
The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing or altering the region code.
