Please ensure you have accepted the download and installation of this diagnosis and control software on your CF-C2 no later than October 12, 2020. For the CF-SX and CF-AX, Please ensure that you have accepted the download and installation of this diagnosis and control software no later than January 25, 2021, to avoid disruptions or data loss on your PC.
Battery Diagnosis Control Software
The diagnosis/control program will automatically install, during the installation your PC will be rebooted several times.
An AC adapter will be needed for the installation of the software. If you don't have an AC adapter, please contact Panasonic.
As we previously advised on several occasions, we identified a quality condition potentially affecting Panasonic TOUGHBOOK CF-C2 and CF-SX series laptop battery packs.
Affected battery packs can overheat and ignite, causing a fire hazard.
We are now providing additional instructions on how to obtain this diagnosis/control software and imposing a final installation deadline because minimizing ignition risk requires immediate action from those who have not yet installed the software despite our previous, repeated communications on this subject.
Products affected in this notice include All CF-C2, CF-AX and CF-SX Series.
