the computer is a label that contains, among other informa-

tion, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence

number (REN) for this equipment. If required, this informa-

tion must be provided to the telephone company.

2. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is pro-

vided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be

connected to the telephone network or premises wiring us-

ing a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant.

See Installation Instructions for details.

3. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which

may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on

the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in re-

sponse to an incoming call. In most, but not all area, the sum

of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the

number of devices that may be connected to a line, as deter-

mined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone com-

pany.

4. If your telephone equipment cause harm to the telephone net-

work, the telephone company will notify you in advice that

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if

advice notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will no-

tify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be ad-

vised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you

believe it is necessary.

5. The telephone company may take changes in it’s facilities,

equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the op-

eration of the equipment. If this happens the telephone com-

pany will provide advance notice in order for you to make

necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

6. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or war-

ranty information, please contact Matsushita Electric

radio receiver.

Precautions

The CF-28 was developed based on thorough research into the

real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur-

suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to

innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration

damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal

connections. The CF-28's outstanding engineering has been

tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock)

and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.

As with any portable computer device precautions should be

taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling

procedures are recommended.

Avoiding low-temperature burns

Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro-

ducing area of the notebook computer, AC adap-

tor, and any option or accessory you use with it.

Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature,

can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat

source for a long enough period of time.

Avoid Magnetic Fields

Keep the computer away from magnets.

Data stored on the hard disk may be lost.

Keep Small Objects Away

Do not insert paper clips or other small objects

into the computer.

Do Not Disassemble the Computer

Do not attempt to disassemble your computer.

Avoid Excessive Force on the Display

Do not apply excessive downward force on the

display when it is completely opened, especially

when plugs and/or cables are connected to the rear

of the computer.

Peripherals

Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease in

performance, an increase in temperature and/or damage your

computer. For more information on peripheral devices, refer to

the Reference Manual.

Cables

Use of an interface cable longer than 3 m {9.84 feet} is not rec-

ommended.

Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any

moisture.

Lithium Battery!

This computer contains a lithium battery to enable the date, time,

and other data to be stored. The battery should only be exchanged

by authorized service personnel.

Lithium Battery

Getting Started

Care should be exercised with regard to the following in or-

der to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage.

Avoid Heat

Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or ex-

pose it to excessive heat.

Do Not Disassemble

Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,

expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble,

or modify it.

Do Not Short

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

tacts.

Do Not Put into a Microwave

Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven

or a pressurized chamber.

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight

Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for ex-

tended periods where it will be exposed to direct

sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny

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

Keep Articles Away

Do not place the battery pack together with articles

such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor-

ing.

Stop Using

Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become

hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape,

or become in any way different from normal, remove

it from the computer or charger and stop using it.

Do Not Use With Any Other Computer

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended

for the specified computer or charger. Do not use it

with a computer other than the one for which it was

designed.

Precautions (Battery Pack)

NOTE

The battery pack may become warm during recharging

or normal use. This is completely normal.

Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable

temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F})

"Battery Power". Once the allowable range

requirement 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 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 temperature

environments. If the high temperature mode is enabled in

the Setup Utility ( “Setup Utility”), a level of

100% in the [High Temperature] mode is about a level

of 80% in the [Normal Temperature] mode.

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

do not restore its performance, the battery pack should

be replaced with a new one.

When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or

bag, 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.

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 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 50% 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 ap-

prox. 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 pos-

sible.

When Using Peripheral Devices

Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also,

in addition to following this manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.

Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.

If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condi-

tion and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) .

If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.

Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.

Getting Started

Saving Data on the Hard Disk

Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use them regularly.

We recommend you run the software:

• When booting your computer.

• After receiving data.

We recommend that you check data received on disks or from external sources, such as data downloaded

from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, uncompress them before running a check).

Computer Viruses

Do not expose your computer to shock.

Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software

applications and data unusable.

Do not power off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator ( ) is on.

Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems.

Save all valuable data to floppy disks.

Backing up data to floppy disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you

inadvertently change or erase data.

Use the security function for all important data. ( “Security Measures”)

*Windows 2000 : This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional.

Windows XP : This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional.

Hard Disk Lock

When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the

hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the hard

disk is returned to the original computer, you can read and write data as before. In this case, however, make

the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that

this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee complete protection of data.) ( "Security Measures")

Do not power down your computer or press the disk eject button while the MP indicator ( ) is on.

Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless.

Use care when handling floppy disks.

To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your

computer, avoid the following:

• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.

• Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field.

• Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.

• Applying more than one label on the floppy disk.

Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.

Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased.

Use the write-protect tab.

This is a must for preserving impor-

tant data. This prevents your data

from being erased or overwritten. Write Enable Write Disable

Write-protect Tab

Saving Data on Floppy Disks

Immediately after the computer is turned off or enters the standby mode, you may notice a black pattern

appearing temporarily at the edges of the display. This is a characteristic of the transflective display and is

not a malfunction.

A Characteristic of Transflective Display (Only for models with 12.1 type LCD)

When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device

When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, completely erase all data on the hard disk in order

to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Win-

dows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data

erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use special software (sold separately).

Also note that transferring ownership of this device without deleting software from the hard disk may

violate software user’s licenses.

Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the

connections.

Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer. Using an AC adaptor

other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.

When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord

from your AC wall outlet.

Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder

and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible

power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.

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 .

Dealing with Problems (Summary)

When there is no display to an external display,

• Check your cable connection to the external display.

• Confirm your display is powered on.

• Check the settings for your external display.

Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .

When displaying only through an external display, if the computer is shut down (includ-

ing the standby or hibernation function), there will be no display on the LCD unless the

external display is connected when the computer is powered on or operations are re-

sumed. In this case, connect the external display or press Fn + F3 .

Has the computer been set to the power-saving mode?

To resume operation of your computer from the condition the power of the display is off

(for energy conservation purposes), press any key unrelated to the direct triggering of a

selection, like Shift .

To save power, your computer may have automatically entered either the standby or

hibernation mode. ( “Computing on the Road”) Rotate the power switch.

Restart the computer by using the keyboard (e.g., ).

If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This

is not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.

High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid

crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either

fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function-

ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.

When an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the

computer, the external display may no longer display properly when the computer enters the

condition the power of the display is off (for energy conservation purposes). In such cases,

turn off the power to the external display.

Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the screen. Restart the computer.

Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .

If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display in the following menu.

Windows 2000 : [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Intel® Graphics Technology].

Windows XP : [Start] -[Control Panel] - [Appearance and Themes] - [Display] - [Set-

tings] - [Advanced] - [Intel® Graphics Technology].

When the computer enters the standby or hibernation mode while the screensaver is run-

ning, an error may occur during a resume operation. In such cases, turn off the screensaver

or try changing the pattern of the screensaver.

If the resolution is set to less than the resolution of the internal LCD and the screen is set to

simultaneous display, the screen will not fill up the entire display. Also, if the screen is set

to Extended Desktop, the screen may not fill up the entire display.

age, service or repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/

GPRS/EDGE modem. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the

following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guide-

lines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions

violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Panasonic

assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use

of mobiles. Switch Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/

GPRS/EDGE modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensi-

tive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.

The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and

hearing aids can be affected by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld

Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem placed close to the device.

If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of

the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients

are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporat-

ing GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.

Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE

modem before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently.

The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference

with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the

suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/

GPRS/EDGE modem in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off

the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical

plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical

equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE

modem receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember

that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately

shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off Personal Com-

puter or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem wherever for-

bidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

secure stowage area while driving.

Safety Precautions

Add the following.

Precautions

Do not place the computer with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem in an area over an air

bag or in the vicinity where an air bag may deploy.

Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem

is placed in the air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause

serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT!

Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS/EDGE

modem operate using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to

connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wire-

less device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
