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 (5 °C to 35 °C {41°F to 95°F})*1.
Even if charging stops because the temperature is out-
side the charging temperature range, the battery indica-
tor will turn off. 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 tempera-
ture is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-
perature 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
does 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 Fast travel charger 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.
*1These temperature settings are valid when the battery is charg-
ing and the computer is off. The temperature range may be-
come narrower when the battery is charging and the computer
is operating.
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.
Battery Pack
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in or-
der to avoid the possibility of over-heating, fire, or damage.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, or deform, disas-
semble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) con-
tacts.
Do Not Put Into a Microwave
Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven
or a pressurized chamber.
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended
for the specified computer. Do not use it with a de-
vice other than the one for which it was designed.
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.
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 Fast travel charger is connected to the com-
puter, charging begins automatically.
If the battery leaks and the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub
your eyes. Flush your eyes with clear water and immediately
see a doctor for medical treatment.
Do not cover the computer with a thick cloth,
such as a blanket.
Keep SD memory cards and MultiMedia
Cards (both sold separately) away from infants
