Safety Precautions
NOTICE
l Do not place the computer near a television or
radio receiver.
l Keep the computer away from magnets. Data
stored on the hard disk may be lost.
l This computer is not intended for the display of
images for use in medical diagnosis.
l This computer is not intended for a use with
connection of medical equipment for the pur-
pose of medical diagnosis.
l Panasonic shall not be liable for loss of data
or other incidental or consequential damages
resulting from the use of this product.
l Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack.
The battery pack may no longer function prop-
erly if the contacts are dirty or damaged.
l Do not expose the battery pack to water, or
allow it to become wet.
l 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.
l This computer prevents overcharging of the
battery by recharging only when the remaining
power is less than approx. 95% of capacity.
l 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.
l 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 doc-
tor for medical treatment as soon as possible.
NOTE
l The battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely
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}). (è
tions - Reference Manual "Basic Operation"
"Battery Power") Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto-
matically. 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.

Operating Instruc-
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 con-
tacts 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.

etc., but no warranty is provided against such
trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be
extremely careful in the handling.
