NOTE
l The battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely
normal.
l Recharging will not commence if internal tem-
perature of the battery pack is outside of the
allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C).
(è
Operating Instructions - Reference
Manual "Basic Operation" "Battery Power")
Once the allowable range requirement is satis-
fied, charging begins automatically. Note that
the recharging time varies based on the usage
conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual
when the temperature is 10 °C 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 degradation of the
battery in high temperature environments.
(è
Operating Instructions - Reference
Manual "Basic Operation" "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 us-
ing a particular battery pack becomes dramati-
cally shorter and repeated 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 recommended 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 exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.
l If the computer is not used for a long period of
time, connect the computer to the AC adaptor,
and then charge it for approximately 30 min-
utes to 1 hour once every 6 months to minimize
deterioration of the built-in battery.
