Listening at high volumes that overstimulate the ear for long
periods of time may result in loss of hearing.
Use the Modem with a Regular Telephone Line
Connection to an internal phone line (on-premise switches)
of a company or business office, etc. or to a digital public
phone or use in a country or area not supported by the com-
puter may result in a fire or electric shocks.
Do Not Connect a Telephone Line, or a Network Cable
Other Than the One Specified, into the LAN Port
If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones
listed below, a fire or electric shock may result.
Networks other than 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T
Phone lines (IP phone (Internet Protocol Telephone), Tele-
phone lines, internal phone lines (on-premise switches),
digital public phones, etc.)
Precautions (Battery Pack)
Do Not Use with Any Other Product
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the
specified product. If it is used with a product other than the
one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, genera-
tion of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than
Those Specified
If the battery is not charged using one of the specified methods, elec-
trolyte 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, Ex-
pose 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 Specified
Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU48U) 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 become degraded, replace it
with a new one
Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat
generation, ignition or battery rupture.
l
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat-
tery pack may no longer function properly 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.
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.
• When it is necessary to expose the skin to this product
such as to scan a fingerprint, perform the operation in the
shortest time possible.
l
Do not place the computer near a television or radio re-
ceiver.
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 purpose 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
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 doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type.
Dispose of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
58-E-1
NOTE
l
The battery pack may become warm during recharg-
ing or normal use. This is completely normal.
l
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temper-
ature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).
(
è
Reference Manual
“Battery Power”) Once the
allowable range requirement is satisfied, 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.)
l
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only
use the computer within the allowable temperature range.
l
This computer has a high temperature mode function
that prevents the degradation of the battery in high tem-
perature environments. (
è
Reference Manual
“Bat-
tery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100% charge
for high temperature mode is approximately equivalent
to an 80% charge level for normal temperature mode.
l
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 re-
peated 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 contacts 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.
