Precautions (Battery Pack)  
Do Not Use with Any Other Product  
z This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by  
recharging only when the remaining power is less than  
approx. 95% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:  
75%) of capacity.  
z The battery pack is not charged when the computer is  
first 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.  
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for  
the specified product. If it is used with a product other  
than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leak-  
age, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.  
Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than  
Those Specified  
If the battery pack is not charged using one of the speci- z 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 possible.  
Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It  
to Excessive Heat  
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

may result.  
ature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (  
Î
Reference Manual “Battery Power”)  
Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied,  
charging begins automatically. Note that the recharg-  
ing time varies based on the usage conditions.  
(Recharging takes longer than usual when the tem-  
perature is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)  
In high-temperature environments, the battery takes  
longer to fully recharge. In low-temperature environ-  
ments, the battery takes longer to fully recharge and  
the operating time is shorter. Only use the computer  
within the allowable temperature range.  
The battery pack is a consumable 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 performance,  
the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.  
When 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.  
Always 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.  
Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack,  
Expose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Mod-  
ify It  
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture  
may result.

your product. Use of battery packs other than those man-  
ufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a  
safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).  
When the Battery Pack Has Become Degraded,  
Replace It with a New One  
Continued use of a degraded battery pack may generate  
high levels of heat, cause a fire to start and cause the  
pack to burst or explode.  
z Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The  
battery pack may no longer function properly if the  
contacts are dirty or damaged.

When Using the Computer with a Reduced Screen Resolution  
When setting the screen resolution to a resolution below the LCD’s resolution, e.g. 1024 × 768 pixels, the images  
appearing on the screen will be stretched. As a result, the characters displayed may appear blurred. This is normal, and  
not indicative of a malfunction.  
To display large characters with no blurring  
Try the following steps while keeping the LCD in its resolution (1280 × 800).  
z To display enlarged font sizes in applications such as Internet Explorer:  
Use the display enlargement function provided by the specific software application.  
z To display enlarged desktop icons, title bar and cursor or magnify the specific part of the screen:  
Use “Icon Enlarger” or “Loupe Utility”.  
If You Spill Water on the Keyboard  
Note that repairs resulting from liquids being spilled on the computer are not free of charge, and not covered by war-  
ranty.  
The keyboard on this computer incorporate a drain system (a moisture protection mechanism) that minimizes the  
amount of liquid reaching the inside of the computer even if water is spilled on the keyboard.  
Any water that comes in contact with the keyboard is drained off through holes in the bottom of the computer, so that vir-  
tually no water is left inside the computer. However, this is not a guarantee against damage to the hard disk or other  
internal parts, or against the loss or deletion of data.  
The drain system is incorporated into only the keyboard. It does not apply to any other components.  
z If you spill water or any other liquid on the keyboard, even a small amount, be sure to perform the following steps.  
Failure to perform these steps may result in damage to the computer. The drain system will not provide complete  
protection against water entering the computer.

Keeping the computer level, move  
the computer to a dry place.  
If the computer is placed back on the wet  
surface, water may seep inside the computer  
from the bottom.
