NOTICE
lDo not place the computer near a
television or radio receiver.
lKeep the computer away from
magnets. Data stored on the ash
memory may be lost.
lThis computer is not intended for
the display of images for use in
medical diagnosis.
lThis computer is not intended for
a use with connection of medical
equipment for the purpose of medi-
cal diagnosis.
lPanasonic shall not be liable for
loss of data or other incidental or
consequential damages resulting
from the use of this product.
lDo not touch the terminals on the
battery pack. The battery pack may
no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
lDo not expose the battery pack to
water, or allow it to become wet.
lIf 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.
lThis computer prevents overcharg-
ing of the battery by recharging only
when the remaining power is less
than approx. 95% of capacity.
lThe battery pack is not charged
when the computer is rst pur-
chased. Be sure to charge it before
using it for the rst time. When the
AC adaptor is connected to the
computer, charging begins automat-
ically.

l Should the battery leak and the uid
get into your eyes, do not rub your
eyes. Immediately ush your eyes
with clear water and see a doctor
for medical treatment as soon as
possible.
NOTE
lThe battery pack may become
warm during recharging or normal
use. This is completely normal.
lRecharging will not commence if
internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C).
(Operating Instructions - Ref-
erence Manual “Basic Operation”
“Battery Power”) Once the allow-
able range requirement is satis-
ed, charging begins automatically.
Note that the recharging time var-
ies based on the usage conditions.
(Recharging takes longer than usual
when the temperature is 10 °C or
below.)
lIf the temperature is low, the operat-
ing time is shortened. Only use the
computer within the allowable tem-
perature range.
lThe battery pack is a consum-
able 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 per-
formance, the battery pack should
be replaced with a new one.
lWhen 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.
lAlways 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.
l<Only for model with Built-in Bridge
Battery>
To minimize deterioration of the
built-in bridge battery, connect the
computer to the AC adaptor and re-
charge it for approximately 2 hours
about once every year.
