About High Temperature Mode
This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the deterioration of the
battery in high-temperature environments or when using the fully charged battery pack for a
long period of time.
To use the high temperature mode function, set [Environment] in the [Main] menu of the
Setup Utility to [Auto]
or [High Temperature]. In the [Auto] mode, the high temperature mode
or the normal temperature mode is selected automatically depending on the battery status
(the internal temperature of the battery pack, etc.) or usage condition (when the AC adaptor
has been connected for a long period of time).
Note that a level of 100% in the [High Temperature] mode is about a level of 80% in the
[Normal Temperature] mode.

NOTE

After switching from [Normal Temperature] to [High Temperature] or vice versa, the
remaining battery capacity will not be displayed properly until the battery pack is
completely discharged or fully charged.

In the [Auto] mode:
Once the computer has automatically switched from the normal temperature mode to
the high temperature mode, the computer will not switch back to the normal tempera-
ture mode until the battery has been recharged from 0% to 100% about five times.
This is to prevent the deterioration of the battery.
