safety hazard (generation 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retostartandcausethepack
to burst or explode.
l Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The
battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
l Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
l 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.
l This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
l The battery pack is not charged when the computer is
rstpurchased.Besuretochargeitbeforeusingitfor
thersttime.WhentheACadaptorisconnectedtothe

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 50 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}).
(è Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the
allowablerangerequirementissatised,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.)
l In high-temperature environments, the battery takes
longer to fully recharge and the operating time is
shorter. Only use the computer within the allowable
temperature range.
l This computer has a high temperature mode function
that prevents the degradation of the battery in high
temperature environments. (è 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.
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,
briefcase, 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.
