Precautions (Battery Pack)
Do Not Use with Any Other Product
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified product. If it is used with a product other than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, genera- tion of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than Those Specified
If the battery is not charged using one of the specified methods, elec- trolyte leakage, generation 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, Ex- pose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
If this product is subjected to a strong impact, stop using it immediately.
Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative
Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Use This Product with a Battery Pack Other Than the One Specified
Use only the specified battery pack ( page 11) with your product. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).
When the battery pack has become degraded, replace it with a new one
Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat- tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged.
Do not expose the battery pack 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 or discharge (use) the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging 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 adaptor is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically.
Should 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.
CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
ATTENTION:
Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect.
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux in- structions.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharg- ing or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temper- ature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32 °F to 122 °F}).
( 
Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging 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.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high tem- perature environments. ( 
Reference Manual “Bat- tery 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 re- peated 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.
