NOTE
l The battery pack may become warm during recharging or
normal use. This is completely normal.
l Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of the
battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range
(0 °C to 55 °C {32°F to 131 °F}).
(è Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allow-
ablerangerequirementissatised,chargingbeginsauto-
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.)
l In high-temperature environments, the battery takes longer
to fully recharge. In low-temperature environments, the bat-
tery takes longer to fully recharge and the operating time is
shorter. Only use the computer within the allowable temper-
ature range.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.

Useful Information
Maintenance
To clean the LCD panel
Use the soft cloth included with the computer (For more information, refer to Reference Manual “Suggestions About
Cleaning the LCD Surface”.)
Cleaning the display while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the screen is easier to
see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.
To clean the touch pad
Wipe lightly with a gauze or other dry, soft cloth.
To clean areas other than the LCD panel and touch pad
Wet a soft cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thoroughly, and wipe the dirty
area gently. Using a detergent other than a neutral kitchen cleanser (e.g., a weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect
painted surfaces.
CAUTION
l Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface causing discoloration, etc.
Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to
the surface.
l Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the computer and cause
malfunction or damage.
Handling and Maintenance
23
Useful Information
If You Spill Water on the Keyboard
Note that repairs resulting from liquids being spilled on the computer are not free of charge, and not covered by war-
ranty.
The keyboard on this computer incorporate a drain system (a moisture protection mechanism) that minimizes the
amount of liquid reaching the inside of the computer even if water is spilled on the keyboard.
Any water that comes in contact with the keyboard is drained off through holes in the bottom of the computer, so that
virtually no water is left inside the computer. However, this is not a guarantee against damage to the hard disk or other
internal parts, or against the loss or deletion of data.
The drain system is incorporated into only the keyboard. It does not apply to any other components.
l If you spill water or any other liquid on the keyboard, even a small amount, be sure to perform the following steps.
Failure to perform these steps may result in damage to the computer. The drain system will not provide complete
protection against water entering the computer.
1 Immediately turn off the computer, and remove the AC adaptor.
2 Wipe any water droplets off of the top of the keyboard using a
soft, dry cloth.
3 Slowly lift up the computer, keeping it
level,
and wipe any water coming out of the
holes on the bottom using a soft, dry
cloth.
If the computer is tilted during this step, liquid may seep
inside the computer resulting in damage.
4 Keeping the computer level, move
the computer to a dry place.
If the computer is placed back on the wet sur-
face, water may seep inside the computer from
the bottom.
5 Remove the battery pack.
6 Be sure to contact your technical support ofce to have the computer checked for any
malfunctions.
