CAUTIONS:
This Mobile mini note PC is designed to be used with the JVC BN-LS12E/LL22E battery packs and, to
recharge them or to supply power to the Mobile mini note PC from an AC outlet, use the provided AC
Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate
different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all
sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)
Do not allow the Mobile mini note PC or AC adapter to operate with the base resting directly on anyone's
lap. Allowing sustained contact may cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.
Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases,
potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
SOME DO'S AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE USE

between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO
consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO
be careful with the LCD panel on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way -- switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make
sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or

be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
2. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
3. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries
in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
When using the wireless LAN
WARNING
Please heed the warning below.
· Do not turn on the PC's power in trains, aircraft, hospitals or other places where the use of
wireless LANs is restricted or prohibited. Use in such places may have an adverse effect
on the electronic devices or medical equipment and cause accidents. At present, the
policy of airline companies is to prohibit the use of electronic devices in aircraft at certain
stages of a flight (take-off and landing). This PC is classified as an "electronic device." For
further details, contact the airline companies.
Radio waves emitted from wireless LANs
WARNING
Please heed the warning below.
· Do not use the wireless LAN in trains full of passengers and other crowded locations.
Wireless LANs emit radio waves which can adversely affect pacemakers and other medical
devices.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a
short circuit and possibly start a fire.
Caution! Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the
battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the Mobile mini
note PC. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you're using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)
General Battery Precautions
Use only the following batteries:
Please make note of the following rules for battery
use. When misused, the batteries can leak or
explode.
1. When replacing batteries, refer to page 16.
2. Do not use any different size of batteries from
those specified.
3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct
direction.
4. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat
as they can leak or explode.
5. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
CAUTIONS
Battery Packs
The supplied battery pack
is a lithium-ion battery.
Before using the supplied
battery pack or an
optional battery pack, be
sure to read the following
cautions:
1. To avoid hazards . . .
.... do not burn.
.... do not short-circuit the terminals. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery
cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a
plastic bag.
Terminals
.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding
60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat,
explode or catch fire.
.... use only specified chargers.
2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... charge in an environment where temperatures are
within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This
is a chemical reaction type battery--cooler
temperatures impede chemical reaction, while
warmer temperatures can prevent complete
charging.
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high
temperatures will increase natural discharge and
shorten service life.
.... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a
long period of time.
.... remove from charger or power unit when not in use,
as some machines use current even when switched
off.
NOTES:
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after
charging, or after use.
Temperature Range Specifications
Charging .............
10°C to 35°C
Operation ...........
