Notice concerning operating temperature
e The recommended environment, operating temperature of the computer is be
tween 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The battery's operating time will de
crease if the operating temperature is low.
• The battery pack will become somewhat warm during normal use. This is not a
malfunction.
Notice concerning charging
• Since the battery pack is not charged when the computer is purchased, be cer
tain to charge the battery before using the computer.
Charging commences automatically when the battery pack is inserted into the
computer and the AC adapter is connected.
• If the battery pack is not used for an extended period of time, be sure to charge
it before use. In such cases, the charging process may not be completed in the
normal length of time, but this is not an indication that the battery is malfunc
tioning,
• Charge the battery pack in the usage temperature range (5“C to 35°C (41'^F to
95°F)). It may not be possible to charge the battery pack if the temperature is
outside the usage temperature range, or is in the usage temperature range but the
battery pack becomes too hot or cold due to usage conditions. (If this happens,
the battery indicator will blink orange.) In such cases, take steps such as adjust
ing the room temperature or refrain from using the computer for a period of
time. Charging will start automatically once the battery pack temperature re
turns to the specified temperature range.
• If the battery pack is attached and detached repeatedly and is charged each time,
an overcurrent will result, generating heat. This should not be done as it will
cause the battery pack to age.
• The battery pack is not a permanent part. If the battery pack operating time
shortens significantly, and if its capabilities are not restored after repeated charg
ing, then the battery pack has reached the end of its service life. Replace it with
a new battery pack.
• If the battery indicator blinks red when charging is commenced or when it is
underway, it may mean that the internal protection circuit has been activated
and charging has been suspended. In such cases, disconnect the AC adapter and
battery pack from the computer, then re-install them. If this problem persists,
contact Panasonic Technical Support.
