NOTICE

  • Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.
  • Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the flash memory may be lost.
  • This computer is not intended for the display of images for use in medical diagnosis.
  • This computer is not intended for a use with connection of medical equipment for the purpose of medical diagnosis.
  • Panasonic shall not be liable for loss of data or other incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of this product.
  • 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 become 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 recharging 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 possible.

NOTE

  • The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal.
  • Recharging will not commence if the internal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C). (→ Operating Instructions - Reference Manual "Basic Operation" "Battery Power") Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 °C or below.)
  • If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. 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.
  • To minimize deterioration of the built-in bridge battery, connect the computer to the AC adaptor and recharge it for approximately 2 hours about once every year.
