Precautions (Battery Pack)
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-
age.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery
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 be-
come wet.
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.
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with ar-
ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-
ing or storing.
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 pos-
sible.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-
semble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)
contacts.
NOTE
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-
light
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 tempera-
ture range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (
Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for
extended periods where it will be exposed to di-
rect sunlight, in a hot place (in a car on a sunny
day, for example), or in a cold place.
“Battery Power”) Once the allowable range require-
ment is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note
that the recharging time varies based on the usage con-
ditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the
temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-
perature range.
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
recharging does not restore its performance, the battery
pack should be replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package,
briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
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.
Do not use this computer with a battery pack
other than the one specified (the one included
with the computer or the specified battery
pack sold separately)
Do Not Put into a Microwave
Do not put the battery pack into a microwave
oven or a pressurized chamber.
Stop Using
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.
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.

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 34).
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.

Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive), SD
memory cards, and MultiMedia Cards. Take care to disconnect the USB floppy disk drive, 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 39 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 Display [Local Disk (C:) Properties].
Right-click [Local Disk(C:)] in [start] - [My Computer], and click [Properties].
2 Click [Check Now] from [Tools].
3 In [Check Disk Local Disk (C:)], click [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 Local
Disk (C:)], and add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and
attempt recovery of bad sectors], click [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.
