“Battery Recalibration” does not increase the battery’s capacity. If “Battery Recalibration” is executed fre quently,

deterioration of the battery may result.

If the computer is turned off during the “Battery Recalibration” (e.g., due to power failure, o r accidental removal of the

AC adaptor and battery pack), the “Battery Recalibration” will not be completed.

The battery pack is a consumable item, and deteriorates gradually each time it is used.

Use effective switching of the battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) to reduce battery pack deterior ation, and enable the battery

pack to last a little longer. Switch the battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) in accordance with the way yo u use your computer.

The battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) disabled:

In the default setting, the battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) is set to “Disabled”.

Charge the battery to 100% (fully charged). We recommend that you disable the battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) if you

use the battery pack frequently.

The battery’s Economy Mode (ECO) enabled:

Stop the battery recharging at 80% of fully charged. By stopping the battery recharging before 100% (fully charged), the

burden on the battery is reduced and deterioration is prevented, so the lifetime o f battery pack will be extended. The

computer will not operate as long on the battery as when the battery’s Economy Mod e (ECO) is disabled.

If you often use the computer with the AC adaptor connected, and if you want to prevent deterioration of the battery pack,

we recommend that you enable the battery’s Economy Mode (ECO).
