Avoid Humidity, Liquids and Dust Do not store or use the computer in locations ex- posed to high humidity, liquids (including rain) or dust. Prevent Shock Avoid subjecting the computer to severe vibrations or impact. Do not place the computer inside a car trunk. Avoid Radio Frequency Interference Do not place the computer near a television or ra- dio receiver. Avoiding Low-temperature Burns Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro- ducing area of the notebook computer, AC adap- tor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long period of time. Do not touch the computer and cable when it starts thundering. Keep SD memory cards and MultiMedia Cards (both sold separately) away from infants and small children. Accidental swallowing will result in bodily injury. In the event of accidental swallowing, see a doctor immediately. Do not connect a telephone line, or a network cable other than the one specified, into the LAN port If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones listed below, a fire or electric shock may result. • If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones listed below, a fire or electric shock may result. • Networks other than 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T • Phone lines (Telephone lines, internal phone lines (on-premise switches), digital public phones, etc.). Usage Handling Avoid Magnetic Fields Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the hard disk may be lost. Avoid Stacking Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer. Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer. Do Not Disassemble the Computer Do not attempt to disassemble your computer. Avoid Excessive Force on the Display Do not apply excessive downward force on the display.

9 Getting Started Precautions (Battery Pack) Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam- age. Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or expose it to excessive heat. Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack together with ar- ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry- ing or storing. Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas- semble, or modify it. Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) contacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun- light Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for extended periods where it will be exposed to di- rect sunlight, in a hot place (in a car on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place. Do Not Use With Any Other Computer The battery pack is rechargeable and was in- tended for the specified computer. Do not use it with a computer other than the one for which it was designed. Do not use this computer with a battery pack other than the one specified (the one included with the computer or the specified battery pack sold separately) Do Not Put into a Microwave Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber. Stop Using Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be- come hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, remove it from the computer and stop using it.Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to be- come wet. If 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. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re- charging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity. 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. 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. NOTE The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence outside of the allow- able temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). ( “Battery Power”) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto- matically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or less.) If the temperature is low, the operating time is short- ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem- perature 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.
