The battery level is very low (the charge is approx. 9% or less).

Connect the AC adaptor. You can use the computer when the battery indicator light is

orange. If you do not have an AC adaptor, save your data and power off your computer.

After replacing the battery pack with a fully charged one, turn your computer on.

Quickly save your data and power off your computer. Remove the battery pack and dis-

connect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.

If the problem persists, contact Panasonic Technical Support. Possible failure in the

battery pack or charging circuit.

Battery cannot be recharged temporarily because the internal temperature of the battery

pack is outside of the acceptable temperature range for recharging. Once the allowable

range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Your computer can be

used normally in this state.

In high temperature mode, the battery is discharging to the level that corresponds to an

80%*1 charge for normal temperature mode. ( “Battery Power”) Do not re-

move the battery pack while the battery indicator is blinking green or the power will be

turned off forcibly.

*1 In high temperature mode, the level that corresponds to an 80% charge for normal temperature

mode is displayed as [100%].

Warming up the system to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions at low temperature. Leave

your computer as is. Once the allowable temperature range requirement is satisfied, your

computer will start automatically.
