Precautions (Battery Pack)

Care should be exercised with regard to the following in

order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-

age.

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.

Avoid Heat

Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or

expose it to excessive heat.

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.

Keep Articles Away

Do not place the battery pack together with ar-

ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-

ing or storing.

Do Not Disassemble

Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,

expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-

semble, or modify it.

NOTE

The battery pack may become warm during recharging or

normal use. This is completely normal.

Do Not Short

Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)

contacts.

Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable

temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (

“Battery Power”) Once the allowable range re-

quirement 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 less.)

If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.

Only use the computer within the allowable temperature

range.

The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of

time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack

becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging

does not restore its performance, the battery pack should

be replaced with a new one.

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-

light

Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for

extended periods where it will be exposed to

direct sunlight, in a hot place (in a car on a sunny

day, for example), or in a cold place.

Do Not Use With Any Other Computer

The battery pack is rechargeable and was in-

tended for the specified computer. Do not use

it with a computer other than the one for which

it was designed.

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.

Do Not Put into a Microwave

Do not put the battery pack into a microwave

oven or a pressurized chamber.

Always power off the computer when it is not in use.

Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not

connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

Stop Using

Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be-

come hot to the touch, become discolored,

change shape, or become in any way different

from normal, remove it from the computer and

stop using it.

Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat-

tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts

are dirty or damaged.

Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to

become wet.

Information for Windows XP

Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and

other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)

may be inoperable.

You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.

You can also change the way a user logs on or off.

The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default

setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).

Resetting the password

Windows XP has a function to reset a forgotten password.

To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following

the steps below.

1 Connect the USB floppy disk drive (optional: CF-VFDU03) to your computer.

2 Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and select the account you used

to logon.

3 Select [Prevent a forgotten password] from the [Related Tasks] menu and create a

password reset disk following the on-screen instructions.

Store the password reset disk in a safe place.

Only the logon password for each account can be reset.

The password set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.

When you create the first new account, you can only select [Computer administrator].

Only the added user account will be displayed in the Welcome screen. The account for

the administrator created during Windows setup (when the computer is started up for

the first time) will not be displayed.

• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• Touching the power switch.

Power Switch

• Performing any keyboard, touch pad, touchscreen (only for models with

touchscreen), or external mouse operations.

Power Indicator

• Closing the display.

Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before

powering it on again.

When using this computer with the battery pack only, it may take some time

for the power to turn on after sliding the power switch. In this case, slide

the power switch and hold it for more than one second. This phenomenon

occurs because the standby power is minimized while the power is turned

off; it is not a malfunction.

When the CPU temperature rises, the computer may not power on to pre-

vent the CPU from overheating. Should this happen, allow the computer to

cool down then switch the power on again.

•

If the computer still does not power on, contact your technical support office.

NOTE

The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch

pad, the touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when

one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the power to the LCD and hard disk

may be turned off. The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad, the touchscreen

(only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when one is connected) is

used or a key is pressed.

The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is being

installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog box will be

shown, do not press Space or Enter to attempt to resume from this condition

as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key unrelated to the direct

triggering of a selection, like Ctrl .

In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby or

hibernation mode (

“Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer

will resume by sliding the power switch.

Windows XP

When switching to a different user with the Fast User Switching function, it may

not be possible to set the settings of the display. In this case, log on with the

SOFTWARE MEDIA LIMITED WARRANTY

Coverage – Panasonic Canada Inc. (“PCI”) warrants to you, the first end user customer, that the disk(s) or other media on which software program(s)

is/are supplied will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in Canada for a period of sixty (60) days from date of receipt

as evidenced by your purchase receipt for your Panasonic Computer product.

THIS IS THE ONLY WARRANTY THAT PCI MAKES RESPECTING THE SOFTWARE MEDIA. PCI does not warrant the software. Please refer to the

software licensor’s written warranty (accompanying the copy of the software) for any software warranty claim.

Claim Procedure – In the event of a defect in material or workmanship in the media during the sixty (60) day warranty period, and you return it,

transportation costs prepaid, to Panasonic Canada Inc., Computer Products Marketing, at the above address, within the warranty period, together

with a copy of your purchase receipt, and an explanation of the suspected defect, PCI will replace in Canada the defective disk(s) or other media.

Remedy – PCI’s entire liability, and your only remedy for any breach of this software media warranty is limited to replacement of the media only. It

does not cover any other damages, including, but not limited to, loss of use or profit loss, or special, indirect or consequential damages, or other

claims, whether or not of similar character.

No Coverage – This limited warranty does not apply if the disk(s) or other media has been used in other than a Panasonic product, or in environmen-

tal conditions other than those specified by PCI or the manufacturer, or if subjected to misuse, neglect, mishandling, modification or attempted

modification of the program, or if damaged by accident or act of God. PCI is not responsible for damage to or loss of any program, data or removable

storage media.

TIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET OUT IN THIS DOCUMENT, OR FROM THE USE OF THE

COMPUTER PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS, PROFIT OR GOODWILL.

IN ANY EVENT, PCI’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE
