fi

 ed, into the LAN Port

If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones 

listed right, a 

fi

 re or electric shock may result.

  Networks other than 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or  

10BASE-T

Precautions (Battery Pack)

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 im-

mediately.

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 (  page 11) with your prod-

uct. 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 become degraded, 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 remain-

ing 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.

Do Not Use With Exposing the Skin To This Product For a 

Long Period of Time

Using this product with exposing the skin to the heat source of 

this product or AC adaptor for a long period of time can cause a 

low-temperature burn.

Do Not Expose the Skin to This Product When Using the 
Product In a Hot or Cold Environment

Burns, low-temperature burns or frostbite may result.

 

Whe

n it is necessary to expose the skin to this product such 

as to 

scan a 

fi

 ngerprint, perform the operation in the 

short-

est time possible.

<Only for model with modem>

Use the Modem with a Regular Telephone Line

Connection to an internal phone line (on-premise switches) of 

a company or business of

fi

 ce, etc. or to a digital public phone 

or use in a country or area not supported by the computer may 

result in a 

fi

 re or electric shocks.

  Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.

  Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the 

hard disk may be lost.

CAUTION:

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. 

Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.

58-E-1

ATTENTION:

Il y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie 

de type incorrect.

Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.

58-F-1

 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 122 °F}). 
(  

 

Reference Manual

 “Battery Power”) Once the allow-

able range requirement is satis

fi

 ed, 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.)

  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. (  

 

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, brief-

case, 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.
