CAUTION

When the charge provided by your battery pack is supplied for only a short period of
time, even after fully charging according to the instructions, it may be time to replace
your battery pack.  The battery pack is a consumable item and therefore will require

Be sure the battery pack is properly connected to the connector.

CAUTION

1

”

)

Do not shut down using the standby function.

2

Turn your computer over and remove the battery pack

Remove the battery pack while sliding the latches inward.

3

Insert the battery pack

Make sure the battery pack is facing the correct direction, then slide it in the direc-
tion of the arrow, and then check to ensure that the battery pack is held firmly by the
latches on the left and right sides.

Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack and the computer.  The bat-
tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or dam-
aged.
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.
Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU24) with your computer.
In the standby mode, do not remove/change the battery pack.  Removing
the pack in the standby mode will erase your data and may damage the
