Precautions

NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharg-
ing or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence outside of the allow-
able temperature range (0 °C to 35 °C (32°F to 95
°F)). To allow the battery to charge, adjustments have
to be made to the temperature. Once the allowable
range requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto-
matically. Note that the recharging time varies based
on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than
usual when the temperature is 10 °C (48 °F) or less.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Therefore, please use the computer within the
allowable temperature range.
Although the battery has not begun to run out, the bat-
tery indicator may light up red or emit a beep. This
indicates a significant rise in the temperature of the
battery pack. This is typically caused by the fact that
the battery pack has been delivering a high level of
power because the computer has been used with the
display at the brightest setting and with the power-
saving function off.
To protect the battery pack from increases in tempera-
ture, the brightness of the display automatically de-
creases, allowing the temperature of the battery to drop.
In this condition, if the computer is left as is, it will
automatically go off after about three minutes have
elapsed. Within that period, therefore, be sure to con-
nect the AC adapter or shut the computer OFF after
saving any open data (if necessary).
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of liquid leakage, overheat-
ing, or bursting.
Avoid Heat
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or
expose it to excessive heat.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-
semble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)
contacts.
Do Not Put into a Microwave
Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or
a pressurized chamber.
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with ar-
ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-
ing or storing.
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 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 the battery pack until the remain-
ing battery level becomes 30% to 50% and store it in a cool,
dry place.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-
charging 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 adapter is connected to the computer,
charging begins automatically.
Should the battery leak and some of the fluid gets 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.
Discontinue Use
Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be-
come hot to the touch, become discolored,
change shape, or become in any way different
from normal, remove it from the unit or charger
and discontinue use.
Do Not Use With Other Computer
The battery pack is a rechargeable and was in-
tended for the specified computer or charger. Do
not use it with a computer other than the one for
which it was designed.
Battery Pack Usage
Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for
extended periods where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile
on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place.

Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the
FDD indicator ( ) is on.
Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the disk useless.
Use care when handling floppy disks.
To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in
your computer, avoid the following:
• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.
Confirm that no important data is on the disk, because all data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving im-
portant data. This prevents your
data from being erased or overwrit-
ten.
Read Me First
Do not expose your computer to shock.
Please use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make
your software applications and data unusable.
Do not power down your computer while software applications are running or HDD
indicator ( ) is on.
Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems ([Start]-[Shut Down] ).
Save all valuable data to floppy disks.
Backing up data to floppy disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or
should you inadvertently change or erase data.
Use the security function for all important data. (
"Security Measures")
Saving Data on the Hard Disk
Write Enable Write Disable
Write-protect Tab
Saving Data on Floppy Disks
Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use
them regularly.
Computer Viruses
We recommend you run the software:
• When booting your computer.
• After receiving data.
We recommend that you check data received on floppy disks or from external sources, such
as data downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, please uncompress
them before running a check).
* This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® 95 Operating System.

Usage, Carrying and Maintenance
CAUTION
Environment
Place the computer on a flat stable surface.
In use:
Temperature: 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F)
Humidity: 30% to 80% RH
(No condensation)
Not in use:
Temperature: -20 °C to 60 °C
(-4 °F to 140 °F)
Humidity: 30% to 90% RH
(No condensation)
Usage Environment
Such areas may result in damage to the computer.
Areas exposed to direct sunlight
Places not to use your computer Do not leave things near the computer that are sensitive
to heat. During operation, the computer can become
quite hot.
Maintenance
It is a good idea to make backup copies on floppy disks and
carry them with you.
Do not leave a floppy disk in the drive while transporting your
computer.
Do not carry your computer when it is ON.
Remove all cables before transporting your computer.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and op-
tional charger, if possible).
When transporting spare batteries inside a package, brief-
case, etc., it is recommended that the batteries be stored in a
plastic bag.
Transporting
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or
carry it by gripping the display.
Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the
display and keyboard.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
Always carry your computer with you. Never check it
with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft,
we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy
on this issue.
CD-ROM
Do not allow CDs to become dirty or scratched.
Do not place or store CD in locations exposed to heat, direct
sunlight, humidity or dust.
Do not write on the surface of the CD with a ball-point pen or
other writing instrument, or apply label on the CD.
Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of CDs.
If the CD is brought from a cold into a warm environment,
moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this moisture off with a
soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the CD.
After wiping the CD with a moist, soft cloth, wipe it
with a dry cloth. Always wipe from the center toward
the edge.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or disinfectant-type alcohol.
Do not directly use water, liquid detergents or spray-type
cleaners. If liquid enters the computer, this may cause the
computer to malfunction or become defective.
Areas excluding the display:
Wipe these areas with a soft cloth,
after applying water or detergent
diluted with water to the soft cloth
and firmly wringing it.
Display:
Use a soft dry cloth like gauze
to lightly wipe the display.
Areas with electronic equipment
These areas may interfere with your
display or cause your computer to
produce strange sounds.
Areas with extremely high/low
temperatures
Cleaning the CD using a CD disk cleaner (LF-K022DC)
is recommended once every 2 or 3 months.
