NOTE

The battery pack may become warm during recharging or
normal use.  This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of
the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature
range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}). (

 “Bat-

tery Power”)  Once the allowable range requirement is
satisfied, charging begins automatically.  Note that the
recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Re-
charging takes longer than usual when the temperature is
10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature
range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high tempera-
ture environments. (

 “Battery Power”)  A  level

corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature
mode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level
for normal temperature mode.
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 recharg-
ing does not restore its performance, the battery pack
should be replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-
case, 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. Leav-
ing the computer on when the AC adaptor is not connected
will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

Read Me First

Do Not Turn the Volume Up to Loud When Using Headphones

Listening at high volumes that overstimulate the ear for long

periods of time may result in loss of hearing.

Use the Modem with a Regular Telephone Line

Connection to an internal phone line (on-premise switches) of

a company or business office, etc. or to a digital public phone

or use in a country or area not supported by the computer may

result in a fire or electric shocks.

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.

• Networks other than 1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-TX or

10BASE-T

• Phone lines (Telephone lines, internal phone lines (on-

premise switches), digital public phones, etc.)

Do Not Use with Exposing the Skin to the Computer for a

Long Period of Time

Using the computer with exposing the skin to the heat source

of the computer or AC adaptor for a long period of time can

cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not place the computer near a television or radio re-

ceiver.

Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the
hard disk may be lost.

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 recharg-

ing 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.

Precautions (Battery Pack)

Do Not Use with Any Other Computer

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the speci-

fied computer or charger. If it is used with a computer other than

the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, genera-

tion of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other Than

Indicated in This Manual

If the battery pack is not charged using one of the methods indi-

cated in this manual, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ig-

nition or rupture may result.

Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It to

Excessive heat

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, in Direct Sunlight, for Example)

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack, Expose

It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may

result.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Contacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not place

the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hair-

pins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other Than

the One Specified

Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU29A) with your

CF-29. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and

supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation

of heat, ignition or rupture).
