Important Battery Tips
The battery is a consumable and, as such, its performance will gradually deteriorate. This deterioration is accelerated
under the following conditions.
zWhen the battery is repeatedly charged
zWhen the battery is used, charged or stored in a place with high temperature
To minimize deterioration of the battery and ensure a longer battery life, you must reduce the number of charges and
ensure that the temperature inside the battery does not become too high. Bear in mind the following points.
Charge the battery in a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C {50°F to 86°F}
In places where the outside air temperature is high, the temperature inside the battery will also become high. Do not
charge the battery inside a vehicle with all its windows closed and exposed to the hot sun or in other places where the
temperature is high.
This computer’s battery will not be charged if its temperature is outside the allowable range. (At such a time, the battery
indicator blinks orange.)
We recommend charging the battery no more than once per day
Recharging the battery after every small use raises the total number of battery charges and speeds battery deterioration.
To lower the total number of battery charges, we recommend recharging the battery no more than once per day or when
the remaining charge drops to 10% or less.
With this computer, in order to reduce the number of charges, the battery will not be recharged immediately after it has
been fully charged unless the remaining charge has fallen to less than 95%*1.
*1 Models with Economy mode Setting Utility (Îpage 3):
When Economy mode is disabled : less than 95%
When Economy mode is enabled : less than 75%
Charging the battery while the computer is powered off is recommended
If the computer’s power is on, the temperature inside the battery rises due to the effects of heat from the CPU and other
components. We recommend that you only charge the battery when the computer is powered off.
1. How to use the battery with minimal deterioration

ENGLISH
Important Battery Tips
Use the battery in the high temperature mode (only for models*2 with the high temper-
ature mode)
*2 Models for which [Environment] is displayed on the [Main] menu of the Setup Utility.
When the high temperature mode is selected, the battery capacity is reduced, and therefore the battery operating time is shorter.
High temperature mode is a function that prevents deterioration of the battery in high temperature environments or when
using the fully charged battery pack for a long period of time.
We recommend the high temperature mode setting when the computer is to be used under the following conditions:
zWhen the computer is to be used in a vehicle
zWhen the computer is to be used in a place with high temperature
zWhen the computer is to be used for extended periods of time with the AC adaptor connected
zWhen battery operation is not required for long hours (When the battery’s remaining capacity does not often drop to
40% or below in normal temperature mode)
Use the Economy mode enabled (only for models*3 with Economy mode Setting Utility)

When the Economy mode is enabled, the battery capacity to be charged is reduced, and therefore the battery operating time is shorter.

Windows Vista: (Start)
*5 Depending on the model, there may not be a [Battery] item.
With the Economy mode enabled, charging will stop at 80%. By not giving a 100% full charge, the load on the battery is
reduced, and this protects the battery and prolongs the operating life of the battery pack.
We recommend that you enable the Economy mode when the computer is to be used under the following conditions:
zWhen the computer is to be used for extended periods of time with the AC adaptor connected
zWhen battery operation is not required for long hours (When the battery’s remaining capacity does not often drop to
40% or below)

Important Battery Tips
Leave the computer off when it is not in use
Decrease the internal LCD brightness by pressing
Fn + F1
Pressing Fn + F1 will lower the degree of brightness, thereby reducing the power consumption.
Before stepping away from your computer, press Fn + F7 (standby)*1 or Fn + F10
(hibernation) to put your computer in the standby*1 or hibernation mode
Pressing these key combinations will put your computer in the standby*1 or hibernation mode, thereby lowering the power
consumption.
*1 Windows Vista: Sleep
Windows XP: Click [start]*2 - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] -
[Power Options], and select the desired power-saving setting
Windows Vista:Click or in the notification area, and select a power plan that
uses the power-saving function.
If no power plan that uses the power-saving function is shown, click [More power options] and then click [Change plan set-
tings] for the power plan you want to modify. Then change the power-saving settings.
*2 Depending on the setting, [Start] may be displayed.
We recommend against using applications or screen saver that place a significant load
on the CPU
Some screen savers place a large load on the CPU. When using these screen savers, a significant load is placed on the
CPU even when the computer is not being used. We recommend that you do not use screen saver that will drain the CPU.

Important Battery Tips
In order to maintain the battery performance, remove the battery with a remaining
charge of 30% to 40% from the computer, and store it in a cool, dark place
If the battery pack is kept installed in the computer, it will discharge gradually even when the computer’s power is off. If
this condition continues for a long period (several months or more), the battery may overdischarge, causing its perfor-
mance to deteriorate. In addition, this deterioration will accelerate if the battery pack is stored inside a vehicle with all its
windows closed and exposed to the hot sun or in other places where the temperature is high. Store the battery pack
where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to 30°C {50°F to 86°F}.
3. When the computer is not going to be used for an extended
period (a month or more)

ENGLISH
Important Battery Tips
Bear in mind the following points when installing and removing the battery pack
zDo not install or remove the battery pack while the computer is in the standby mode.
Removal of the battery pack in this mode cause the data to be erased and cause the computer to malfunction.
zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack.
If the terminals are dirty or damaged, the battery may not function properly or the computer may not operate properly.
Charging time and discharging time differs depending on the computer’s power status
and temperature
zIt takes longer to fully charge the battery when the computer’s power is on. To charge the battery more quickly, power
the computer off, or put it in the standby or the hibernation mode.
zIt takes longer to fully charge the battery in low temperature environments. The battery discharges more quickly in low
temperature environments.

Important Battery Tips
This computer’s battery pack has a function for measuring, storing and learning about the status of its battery charge. To
display the remaining battery charge accurately, use the Battery Recalibration function to fully charge the battery, then
completely discharge it.
This procedure should be performed once after you purchase the computer. As you use the battery pack over a long
period of time, the remaining capacity display may become inaccurate due to aging of the battery pack and other factors.
The procedure described below should be performed again.
1After installing the battery pack, connect the AC adaptor.
Remove all peripheral devices except for the battery pack and AC adaptor.
2Close all applications.
3Perform the Battery Recalibration.
AClick [start]*1 - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [Battery]*2 - [Battery Recalibration].
BAt the confirmation message, click [Start].
zPerforming the Battery Recalibration at frequent intervals will degrade the battery pack. As a general
guideline, perform the Battery Recalibration once every three months. A message urging caution will appear
when the Battery Recalibration is to be performed again in less than a month or so since it was last per-
formed. In a case like this, do not perform the Battery Recalibration.
CThe display will ask you to shut down Windows. Click [Yes].
The Battery Recalibration will begin.
After the battery pack is fully charged, discharging begins. When the discharging is completed, the Battery
Recalibration terminates, and the power automatically goes off.
When the Battery Recalibration is completed, charging begins.
*1 Depending on the setting, [Start] may be displayed.
Windows Vista: (Start)
*2 Depending on the model, there may not be a [Battery] item.
NOTE
zBattery Recalibration does not increase the battery's capacity. Performing the Battery Recalibration at frequent
intervals will degrade the battery pack.
