a 100% charge for high temperature mode 
is approximately equivalent to an 80% 
charge level for normal temperature mode.
z  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 re-
peated recharging does not restore its 
performance, the battery pack should be 
replaced with a new one.
z  When transporting a spare battery inside a 
package, briefcase, etc., it is recommend-
ed that it be placed in a plastic bag so that 
its contacts are protected.
z  Always power off the computer when it is 
not in use. Leaving the computer on when 
the AC adaptor is not connected will ex-
haust the remaining battery capacity.

ing 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.)
z  If the temperature is low, the operating 
time is shortened. Only use the computer 
within the allowable temperature range.
z  This computer has a high temperature 
mode function that prevents the degra-
dation of the battery in high temperature 
environments. (ÄReference 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.
z  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 re-
peated recharging does not restore its 
performance, the battery pack should be 
replaced with a new one.
z  When transporting a spare battery inside a 
package, briefcase, etc., it is recommend-
ed that it be placed in a plastic bag so that 
its contacts are protected.
z  Always power off the computer when it is 
not in use. Leaving the computer on when 
the AC adaptor is not connected will ex-
haust the remaining battery capacity.

  Sensors
This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, magnetic sensor, 
ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any software that is compatible.
As the accuracy of each sensor output is dependent on the operating environment and other con-
ditions, the results should only be used as a reference.
The acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic sensor are located at the bottom left of the 
LCD. The detection results of each sensor may vary depending on how you are holding the com-
puter, the application software you are using, and other factors.
zAutomatic brightness adjustment
