Panasonic CF-33 series Operating Instructions Manual page 5

 The battery pack is not charged when the
computer is fi rst purchased. Be sure to charge
it before using it for the fi rst time. When the AC
adaptor is connected to the computer, charging
begins automatically.
 Should the battery leak and the fl uid get into
your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately
fl ush your eyes with clear water and see a doc-
tor for medical treatment as soon as possible.
NOTE
 The battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely
normal.
 Recharging will not commence if internal tem-
perature of the battery pack is outside of the
allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C
{32 °F to 122 °F}). (
STRUCTIONS - Reference Manual "Battery
Power") Once the allowable range requirement
is satisfi ed, charging begins automatically. Note
that the recharging time varies based on the us-
age conditions. (Recharging takes longer than
usual when the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or
below.)
 If the temperature is low, the operating time is
shortened. Only use the computer within the
allowable temperature range.
 This computer has a high temperature mode
function that prevents the degradation of the
battery in high temperature environments. (
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Reference
Manual "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.
 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.
 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 adaptor is not connected will exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.
