Safety Precautions
 NOTE 
l  The battery pack may become warm during 
recharging or normal use.  This is completely 
normal.
l  Recharging will not commence if internal tem-
perature of the battery pack is outside of the al-
lowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32 °F 
to 122 °F}). (è  Reference Manual “Battery 
Power”) Once the allowable range requirement 
is satised, charging begins automatically. Note 
that the recharging time varies based on the us-
age conditions. (Recharging takes longer than 
usual when the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or 
below.)
l  If the temperature is low, the operating time is 
shortened. 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 us-
ing a particular battery pack becomes dramati-
cally 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.
l <Only for model with Built-in Bridge Battery>
 To minimize deterioration of the built-in bridge 
battery, connect the computer to the AC adap-
tor and recharge it for approximately 2 hours 
about once every year.
