Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery 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% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:

75%) 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 nor-

mal.

Recharging will not commence if internal tempera-

ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0 C to 55 C {32 F to 131 F}).

( Reference Manual Battery Power) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charg-

ing begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions.

(Recharging takes longer than usual when the tem-

perature is 10 C {50 F} or below.)

If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allow-

able temperature range.

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 pack-

age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-

tected.

Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-

tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-

tery capacity. Description of Parts A B C D E F G H I J K L M A :Function Key I : LCD/Touchscreen

Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with some special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely. Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the softwares license agreement. The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an overwriting method, but there is a possibility that due to malfunc-

tions or other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that may be able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confidential data, we recom-

mend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.

age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-

tected.

Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-

tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-

tery capacity. A lithium ion battery that is recy-

clable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery. Lappareil que vous vous tes procur est aliment par une bat-
