If it is used with a product other than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than Those SpecifiedIf the battery is not charged using one of the specified methods, electrolyte leak-age, generation of heat, ignition or rup-ture may result.Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It to Excessive HeatGeneration of heat, ignition or rupture may result.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 ItElectrolyte 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 (-) ContactsGeneration 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 Bat-tery Pack Other Than the One Speci-fiedUse only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU53W) with your product. Use of battery packs other than those manufac-tured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture). Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet. 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. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity. 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.Take a Break of 10-15 Minutes Every HourUsing this product for long periods of time may have detrimental health effects on the eyes or hands.Do Not Turn the Volume Up to Loud When Using HeadphonesListening at high volumes that overstimu-late the ear for long periods of time may result in loss of hearing.Do Not Use with Exposing the Skin to This Product for a Long Period of TimeUsing this product with exposing the skin to the heat source of this product or AC adaptor for a long period of time can cause a low-temperature burn. Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver. Keep the computer away from mag-nets.

14Getting StartedRead Me FirstA lithium ion battery that is recyclable 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 batterie au lithium-ion.Pour des renseignements sur le recyclage de la batterie, veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY 48-M-1 Should 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 pos-sible. NOTE  The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. 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 122 °F}). ( 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.) 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. This computer has a high tempera-ture mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. ( 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 tem-perature mode. 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. 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. 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.
