Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically.zShould 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.NOTEzThe battery pack may become warm during recharg-ing or normal use. This is completely normal.zRecharging will not commence if internal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temper-ature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (Î Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharg-ing time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the tem-perature is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)zIn high-temperature environments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge. In low-temperature environ-ments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge and the operating time is shorter. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range.zThe 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. zWhen 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.zAlways 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.Precautions (Battery Pack)CAUTION:Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type.Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.58-E-1A lithium ion battery that is recy-clable powers the product you have purchased.Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.L’appareil que vous vous êtes procuré est alimenté par une bat-terie au lithium-ion.Pour des renseignements sur le recyclage de la batterie, veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY.48-M-1
