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.
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with articles
such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor-
ing.
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 pos-
sible.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble,
or modify it.
