The battery pack may become warm during recharg-

ing or normal use. This is completely normal. Reference Manual Battery

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}). ( Power) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage condi-

tions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 C {50 F} or below.)

In high-temperature environments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge. In low-temperature environ-

ments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge and the operating time is shorter. Only use the computer within the allowable 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 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 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-
