If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones
listed below, a fi re or electric shock may result.
Precautions (Battery Pack)
Do Not Use with Any Other Computer
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the
specifi ed computer. If it is used with a computer other than
the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, gen-
eration of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other
Than Those Specifi ed
If the battery is not charged using one of the specifi ed
methods, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or
rupture may result.
Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It
to Excessive Heat
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, in Direct Sunlight, for
Example)
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.
Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack, Ex-
pose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It
Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.
Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (–) Contacts
Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not
place the battery pack together with articles such as neck-
laces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other
Than the One Specifi ed
Use only the specifi ed battery pack (CF-VZSU46U) with your
CF-30. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured
and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard
(generation of heat, ignition or rupture).
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.
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
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
The battery pack is not charged when the computer is
fi rst purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for
the fi rst time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the
computer, charging begins automatically.
Should the battery leak and the fl uid get into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes. Immediately fl ush your eyes with
clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as
soon as possible.
Networks other than 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
10BASE-T
Phone lines (Telephone lines, internal phone lines (on-
premise switches), digital public phones, etc.)
Do Not Use with Exposing the Skin to the Computer for
a Long Period of Time
Using the computer with exposing the skin to the heat source
of the computer or AC adaptor for a long period of time can
cause a low-temperature burn.
Do not place the computer near a television or radio re-
ceiver.
Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on
the hard disk may be lost.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharg-
ing or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temper-
ature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).
( Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the
allowable range requirement is satisfi ed, 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 below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. 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
temperature environments. ( Reference Manual
“Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%
charge for high temperature mode is approximately
equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal tempera-
ture 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 re-
peated 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.
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.

Useful Information
Hard Disk Backup Function (Recover Pro)
The Recover Pro creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk to back up (store) the hard disk data, and re-
stores the backup data to its original location when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors. You do
not need external media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.
At purchase, the Recover Pro is not installed. Install using the instructions below.
The Recover Pro cannot back up or restore data correctly if a hard disk problem occurs during data backup or re-
storing. If an error occurs due to an unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason while data is being
restored, the hard disk data (data before restoration) may be lost.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damage suffered (including loss of data) as a
result of the use of this function.
The Recover Pro provides 3 types of backup as follows:
Quick Backup: Scheduled backup of the updated data
File Backup: File backup at fi le save and change
Complete Backup: Backup of the entire data on the internal hard disk
Here, we will explain the procedures for installation, complete backup (backing up hard disk contents in case Windows
cannot be booted), and complete restore (recovering the hard disk data to its condition at the time of the complete
backup).
For further information, refer to the software’s online manual ( page 20).
CAUTION
All operations should be executed with the AC adaptor connected. Do not turn the power off while operations are
in progress. If the power is turned off while installation, backup, or restore operations are in progress, these opera-
tions may not function properly, and it may be impossible to start Windows. Also, do not press any keys or slide any
switches, including hot keys.
When restarting the computer, the message “Check fi le system on C:” may appear. Follow the on-screen instruc-
tions. Do not skip the check process.
Make sure you allow enough space on the hard disk when choosing settings during installation. To change these
settings you must reinstall Recover Pro.
To execute Complete Backup reliably, we recommend performing [Typical] installation in the following cases.
Hard disk with a single partition
Immediately after reinstalling software (when more than half of the entire space of the hard disk is available)
( page 22)
Be sure to use the internal hard disk drive to create the backup area. Never use disk or device other than the inter-
nal hard disk drive.
Some software (security software, backup software, encryption software, or hard disc accessible specifi c software,
etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.
For further information, refer to:
http://www.phoenix.com/en/Customer+Services/White+Papers-Specs/Recover+Pro/default.htm
When using Personal Secure Drive ( Installation Manual of “Trusted Platform Module (TPM)”), do not execute
File Backup for Personal Secure Drive.
The “Create recovery CD-DVD” function in Recover Pro is designed to help you save complete backup data to CD
or DVD. When using the “Create recovery CD-DVD”, you can view the complete backup data on the hard disk, but
take care to avoid accidentally deleting this data.
After installing the Recover Pro, do not use the IEEE1394 network connection. If any problem occurred, stop the
IEEE1394 network connection and restart the computer.

Useful Information
Hard Disk Data Erase Utility
When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage.
Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with
some special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.
Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s
license agreement.
The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an overwriting method, but there is a possibility that due to mal-
functions or other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that
may be able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confi dential data, we
recommend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will
bear no responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.

Troubleshooting
6 When all the hardware has been checked, confi rm the diagnostic check results.
If the display is red and the message “Check Result TEST FAILED” is displayed, you can assume that there is
a problem with the computer’s hardware. Confi rm which hardware component is displayed as red, and contact
Panasonic Technical Support.
If the display is green and the message “Check Result TEST PASSED” is displayed, the computer’s hardware
is operating normally. Continue using the computer as is. If the computer still does not operate properly, reinstall
the software. ( page 22)
