Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible. Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than Those Specified If the battery is not charged using one of the specified methods, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions. Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It to Excessive Heat Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. z The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. z 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}). (Î Reference Manual “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.) z In high-temperature environments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge. In low-temperature environments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge and the operating time is shorter. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range. z 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. z When 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. z 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. 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 immediately. 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 Specified Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU56U) with your product. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture). When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated, Replace It with a New One Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture. z Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. z Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet. z 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. z This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled: 75%) of capacity. z 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. 58-E-1 NOTE A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased.
