Getting StartedUseful InformationTroubleshootingAppendix
Do Not Use with Any Other Computer
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for
the specified computer or charger. If it is used with a com-
puter other than the one for which it was designed, elec-
trolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may
result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other
Than Indicated in This Manual
If the battery pack is not charged using one of the meth-
ods indicated in this manual, electrolyte leakage, genera-
tion of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It
to Excessive Heat
Generation 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 Mod-
ify It
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.
Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Con-
tacts
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not
place the battery pack together with articles such as neck-
laces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other
Than the One Specified
Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU47) with
your CF-W5. Use of battery packs other than those manu-
factured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety
hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).
zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The
battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
zDo not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
zIf 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.
zThis 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.
zThe 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.
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.
NOTE
zThe battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely nor-
mal.
zRecharging will not commence if internal tempera-
ture 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 condi-
tions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when
the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
zIf the temperature is low, the operating time is
shortened. 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 pack-
age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be
placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-
tected.
zAlways power off the computer when it is not in
use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-
tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-
tery capacity.
