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. NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the allowable tempera-
ture range (0 C to 50 C {32F to 122F}) ( Ref-
erence Manual Battery Power). 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 {50F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-
perature range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. ( Battery Power) A level corresponding to a 100%
charge for high temperature mode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal tempera-
ture mode. Reference Manual
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
