Read Me First Getting Started 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. Precautions (Battery Pack) y Networks other than 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T y Phone lines (Telephone lines, internal phone lines (onpremise 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. y Do not place the computer near a television or radio re- ceiver. y Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the hard disk may be lost. Do Not Use with Any Other Computer The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified computer. If it is used with a computer other than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other Than Those Specified If the battery is not charged using one of the specified methods, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition 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 hairpins 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-VZSU46U) with your CF-30. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture). z Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat- tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. z Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet. z 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. z This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% 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. 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. NOTE z The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. z 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}). (Î Reference Manual "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 {50 °F} or below.) z If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range. z This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. (Î Reference Manual "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. z 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. z 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. z 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. 8
