way different from normal, re-
move it from the computer and

If the battery pack will not be used for a
long period of time (a month or more),

see a doctor for medical treatment as soon
as possible.

temperature mode function when install-
ing the computer in a car, etc. To do this,
set [Charging mode] in
- [Settings] -
[System] tab - [Panasonic Settings] to [High
Temperature]. In the high temperature
mode, the full charge capacity of battery
becomes approximately 80 %.
