temperature range.
This computer has a high temperature 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 temperature 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.
