it from the computer or charger and stop using it.
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.
Precautions (Battery Pack)
Getting Started
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 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.
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. (
“Battery Power”) 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 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.

no display
When the battery pack is
used, the screen is darker
than when the AC adaptor
is connected
An afterimage appears (e.g.,
green, red, and blue dots
remain on the display) or
there are dots not displaying the correct colors
The external display no
longer displays properly
During simultaneous display, the screen of the external display becomes disordered
When an MPEG file is being played with Media
Player, the display destination cannot be switched using Fn + F3
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.
The display destination may be set to the external display.
Try changing the display destination by pressing Fn + F3 .
If you want to switch the display destination repeatedly by pressing Fn + F3 , make
sure that the display destination has switched completely each time before pressing
Fn + F3 again.
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 Ctrl .
To save power, your computer may have automatically entered the standby mode (power
indicator blinks green) or hibernation mode (power indicator turns off). In such cases,
slide the power switch.
Press Fn + F2 and adjust the brightness. Note, however, that when the brightness
is increased, the battery running time will become shorter. Brightness can be set to separate levels for when the AC adaptor is connected and when it is disconnected.
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 functioning properly), no defect is considered to exist.
When an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the
computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power
saving mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.
Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .
If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display in the following menu.

Dealing with Problems (Summary)
Battery Indicator
The red indicator lights.
The red indicator blinks
The orange indicator blinks
The green indicator blinks
The battery level is very low (the charge is less than approx. 9% capacity).
Connect the AC adaptor. You can use the computer when the indicator light is orange. If you
do not have an AC adaptor, save your data and power off your computer. After replacing the
battery pack with a fully charged one, turn your computer on.
Quickly save your data and power off your computer. Remove the battery pack and disconnect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.
If the problem persists, contact Panasonic Technical Support. Possible failure in the battery
pack or charging circuit.
Battery cannot be recharged temporarily because the internal temperature of the battery pack
is outside of the acceptable temperature range for recharging. Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Your computer can be used normally
in this state.
In high temperature mode, the battery pack is discharging to a level of 80%* in normal
temperature mode. (
“Battery Power”)
Do not remove the battery pack while the battery indicator is blinking green.
* A level of 80% in normal temperature mode is displayed as [100%] in high temperature mode.
The battery indicator blinks
green and orange alternately
Warming up the system to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions at low temperature. Leave
your computer as is. Once the allowable temperature range requirement is satisfied, your
computer will start automatically.
Touch Pad/Touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen)
The cursor cannot be controlled properly
The cursor does not move in
scrolling area of the touch
pad
Troubleshooting
Unable to input using the
touch pad
Unable to point correctly
with the stylus included
with the computer
Unable to input by touching
the display
If you are using an external mouse, ensure that the external mouse has been connected
correctly.
Restart the computer by using the keyboard (Press
, U , and select [Restart] with
, then press Enter ).
If the computer does not respond to keyboard commands, read “No response”
page 29).
When the Microsoft® IntelliMouse™ Wheel mode or the original mode is set for the
touch pad, only scroll operations are possible for the right part or bottom part of the touch
pad. In this case, cursor operations are possible by using the work surface excluding the
right part or bottom part. When no mode is set, the entire surface of the touch pad can be
used for cursor operations.
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Touch Pad] to [Enable]?
When external mouse drivers are installed (e.g., Intellimouse), the touch pad may not be
used.
Has the touch pad driver been properly installed?
As a result of the physical characteristics of the Touchscreen, sometimes the position of
the stylus does not match the position of the cursor on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Perform [Calibration] (
page 13).
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Touchscreen] to [Enable]?
When mouse drivers are installed (i.e. IntelliMouse), the touchscreen is unable to be
used.
Has the touchscreen driver been properly installed?

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 30).
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 drive (optional: Confirm the latest information on optional products in catalogs,
etc.)
Appendix
Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the CD 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 33 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 malfunction occurs, it will be impossible to read the data stored hard disk. 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 the [Local Disk(C:) properties].
Windows XP
Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [Start] - [My Computer], and select [Properties].
Windows 2000
Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [My Computer], and 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.
(To next page)
34
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
overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously
in the backup area will be lost.
