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. Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative () Contacts Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as neck-

laces or hairpins when carrying or storing. Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other Than the One Speci ed Use only the speci ed battery pack (CF-VZSU46U) with your CF-30. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard

(generation of heat, ignition or 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 rst purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the rst time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically.

Should the battery leak and the uid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately ush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 8 For Used in Motor Vehicle /Pour Lutilisation Dans Un Vhicule Motoris Warning: Notebook Computer may be installed in a mo-
