Handling precautions
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the
possibility of liquid leakage, overheating, or bursting.
• Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or expose it to excessive heat.
• Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hair-
pins when carrying or storing it.
• Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks,
deform it, disassemble it, or modify it.
• Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) contacts.
• The battery pack is rechargeable and is designed for use with the CF-M32
series or the specified charger. Do not use it with a computer or charger other
than the one for which it was designed.
• Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for extended periods where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny day,
for example), or in a cold place.
• Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber.
• Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become hot to the touch, become
discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, re-
move it from the unit and discontinue use.
When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recom-
mended that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Do not expose the battery to water or allow it to become wet.
The terminals may corrode.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. Dirt on the terminals may impair
contact and/or make it impossible for the battery to be charged adequately.
If, due to damage, battery electrolyte comes in contact with skin or clothing,
wash it off immediately and thoroughly with water. Consult your physician if
you feel any physical discomfort.
Should the battery leak and some of the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your
eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical
treatment as soon as possible.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Do not carry the computer by gripping the optional Extended life Battery Pack
(CF-VZSU06).
