Precautions (Battery Pack)  
For Used in Motor Vehicle /  
Pour Lutilisation Dans Un Véhicule  
Motorisé  
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.  
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-  
charging only when the remaining power is less than approx.  
95% of capacity.  
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.  
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.  
Warning: Notebook Computer may be installed in a motor ve-  
hicle and visible to the driver only if used to support vehicle  
related functions such as vehicle information, system control,  
rear or side observation and navigation. If used for entertain-  
ment purpose, such as television reception or video play, it must  
be installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be  
visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor ve-  
hicle. Check with individual state/provincial laws to determine  
lawful use of this product while operating within a motor ve-  
hicle.  
Avertissement : Lordinateur bloc-notes peut être installé dans  
un véhicule motorisé et dans le champ de vision du conducteur  
uniquement en tant que dispositif d’aide aux fonctions du  
véhicule, comme par exemple pour fournir des informations sur  
le véhicule, comme dispositif de contrôle de système, pour  
l’observation à l’arrière ou sur les côtés du véhicule, ainsi que  
pour fournir de l’information routière. Pour toute utilisation à fin  
de divertissement, comme par exemple pour regarder la télévision  
ou jouer à des jeux vidéo, il doit être installé à l’arrière du siège  
du conducteur, en un emplacement où il ne sera pas visible, ni  
directement ni indirectement, pour le conducteur du véhicule  
motorisé. Vérifiez les lois fédérales et nationales qui régissent  
l’utilisation légale de cet appareil à l’intérieur d’un véhicule  
motorisé.  
NOTE  
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or  
normal use. This is completely normal.  
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}). (  
“Bat-  
tery Power”) Once the allowable range requirement is  
satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the  
recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Re-  
charging takes longer than usual when the temperature is  
10 °C {50 °F} or below.)  
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.  
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature  
range.  
This computer has a high temperature mode function that  
prevents the degradation of the battery in high tempera-  
ture environments. (  
“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.  
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 recharg-  
ing does not restore its performance, the battery pack  
should be replaced with a new one.  
When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-  
case, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic  
bag so that its contacts are protected.  
Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leav-  
ing the computer on when the AC adaptor is not connected  
will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

Hard Disk Backup Function  
The hard disk backup function creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk. This area is to back up (store) hard disk  
contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations.  
By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting from operational  
errors or other factors. Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, without having to use other  
media or peripheral devices.  
At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled. If you follow the procedure below to create a backup area, the  
hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data. Note, that once the backup function has been  
enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again (  
page 32).  
The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when the data is  
backed up or restored. Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an unexpected malfunction,  
incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may be lost.  
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss of data)  
as a result of the use of this function.  
Preparing  
Product Recovery CD-ROM (included)  
Panasonic CD/DVD drive for the multimedia pocket (optional: Confirm the latest information on  
optional products in catalogs, etc.)  
Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function  
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the CD/DVD drive) and SD Memory  
Cards, as the backup area may not be created properly while these devices are connected.  
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.  
A backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several partitions. Return  
the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition only), and create the backup  
area.  
To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created (  
page 37 step 8).  
If the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after the backup  
area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the backup function. To change the  
configuration, it is necessary to return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase, and  
then create the backup area again.  
The hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function does not  
work with an external hard disk.  
Backup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged.  
Do not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insufficient capacity  
of the backup area.  
If the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. We recommend  
that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard disk (an external hard disk  
or other media).  
Execute a disk error check using the following procedure.  
1 Select [start] - [My Computer], right-click [Local Disk(C:)], and then select [Properties].  
2 Select [Check Now] from [Tools].  
3 In [Check Disk], select [Start] without adding a check mark beside any of the items.  
If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, display [Check Disk], and  
add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recovery  
of bad sectors], select [Start], and check for disk errors again.  
The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not convert the hard  
disk to a dynamic disk.

NOTE  
Regarding backup area  
• Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk. Without sufficient space  
available, the backup area cannot be created.  
• When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less  
than half.  
• The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data  
cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.  
• When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be over-  
written. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously  
in the backup area will be lost.
