Precautions The CF-P1 was developed based on thorough research into real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such as the magnesium alloy exterior and flexible internal connections. The CF-P1's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
Precautions Peripherals Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease in performance, an increase in temperature and/or damage your computer. Battery Pack Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of over-heating, fire, or damage. 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 articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
NOTE The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (5 °C to 40 °C {41°F to 104°F}). 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.) If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.
