Panasonic FZ-G1 series Operating Instructions Manual page 7

NOTE
l The battery pack may become warm dur-
ing recharging or normal use. This is com-
pletely normal.
l Recharging will not commence if internal
temperature of the battery pack is outside
of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to
50 °C {32 °F to 122 °F }). (
Manual "Battery Power") Once the allow-
able 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 temperature is 10 °C {50 °F }
or below.)
l If the temperature is low, the operating
time is shortened. Only use the computer
within the allowable temperature range.
l This computer has a high temperature
mode function that prevents the degra-
dation 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 temperature mode.
l 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 re-
peated recharging does not restore its
performance, the battery pack should be
replaced with a new one.
l When transporting a spare battery inside a
package, briefcase, etc., it is recommend-
ed that it be placed in a plastic bag so that
its contacts are protected.
l Always power off the computer when it is
not in use. Leaving the computer on when
the AC adaptor is not connected will ex-
haust the remaining battery capacity.
l <Only for model with Built-in Bridge Battery>
To minimize deterioration of the built-in
bridge battery, connect the computer to the
AC adaptor and recharge it for approxi-
mately 2 hours about once every year.
