Battery protection
• Frequently charging a battery under high voltage may shorten
the battery life. To protect the battery, once the battery is fully
charged, the system may stop charging when the battery power
is between 90% and 100%.
NOTE: The initiate battery power charging capacity is usually set between
90% and 99%. Actual value may vary by models.
• Charging or storing a battery in high ambient temperatures may
result in permanent damage to the battery power capacity and
rapidly shorten battery life. If the battery temperature is too high,
the system may reduce the battery power charging capacity or
even stop charging to protect the battery.
• Battery power capacity may drop even when your device is
powered o and disconnected from the AC power. This is normal
as the system still draws a small amount of power from the
battery.
Battery safety information
Notebook PC E-Manual
13
Standard battery care
• If you are not using your device for a long period of time, ensure
to charge the battery power to 50% then power o your device
and disconnect the AC power adapter. Recharge the battery
power to 50% every three months to avoid over-discharging and
prevent damage to the battery.
• Avoid charging the battery at high voltage for a prolonged period
of time to extend the battery life. If you are constantly using AC
power for your device, ensure to discharge the battery power
to 50% at least once every two weeks. You can also adjust the
settings from Battery Health Charging in MyASUS to help extend
the battery life.
• It is recommended to store your battery at temperatures between
5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F) with the battery power at 50%. You can
also adjust the settings from Battery Health Charging in MyASUS
to help extend the battery life.
• Do not leave your battery in damp environments. Exposure to
damp environments may increase the battery over-discharging
rate. Low temperature environment may damage the chemicals
inside the battery while high temperature or overheating may
result in a risk of explosion.
• Do not place your device or battery pack near radiators, replaces,
furnaces, heaters, or any sources of heat with temperature
exceeding 60°C (140°F). High temperature surrounding
environment may result in an explosion or leakage that may
cause re.

Overview
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has
been published in the Ocial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non
voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected
to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for
connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal
equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony
justied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of
dual tone multi-frequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and the vendor:
“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed
to work and any notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-
working diculties.”
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will
indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any
notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties.
The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also
advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on
another network.”
Up to now the Notied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals
using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s rst modems which do not require
regulatory approvals in each individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as
modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the
end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones
and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.
