Do Not Use with Any Other Product
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the
speci
fi
ed product. If it is used with a product other than the
one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage,
generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than
Those Speci
fi
ed
If the battery is not charged using one of the speci
fi
ed
methods, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or
rupture may result.
Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It
to Excessive Heat
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, in Direct Sunlight, for
Example)
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.
Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack,
Expose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify
It
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.
If this product is subjected to a strong impact, stop using it
immediately.
Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Contacts
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do not place the battery pack together with articles such
as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Use This Product with a Battery Pack Other Than
the One Speci
fi
ed
Use only the speci
fi
ed battery pack (CF-VZSU53W) with
your product. Use of battery packs other than those
manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a
safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).
When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated, Replace It With
a New One
Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat
generation, ignition or battery rupture.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The
battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
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.
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
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 doctor 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 temperature
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}).
(
Reference Manual
“Battery Power”) Once the
allowable range requirement is satis
fi
ed, 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 {50 °F} or below.)
In high-temperature environments, the battery takes
longer to fully recharge and the operating time is
shorter. 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. (
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 using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically 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.
CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type.
Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
