Precautions

The CF-29 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 in-

novations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration

damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal

connections. The CF-29’s outstanding engineering has been

tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810F (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.

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

ture.

Precautions (Battery Pack)

Getting Started

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 tempera-

ture 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, brief-

case, 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.

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.

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.

Usage Environment

Handling

This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, the

leakage of liquid (e.g., water) on to the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is provided against

such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in the handling.

Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.

Do not carry your computer when it is on.

Remove all external devices, cables, and PC Cards sticking out of the computer (see the

figure on the left) before transporting the computer.

We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible).

When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that

the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.

Do not place the computer upright or allow it to tip over. When the computer receives

extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become

inoperable.

Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display.

Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.

Always carry your computer with you when traveling. Never check it in with luggage. For

use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their

policy on this issue.

It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you.

Do not leave a disk in the drive while transporting your computer.

tive Film, contact Panasonic Technical Support. (For more information, refer to the “Operating

Instructions” that come with the Protective Film.)

Avoid using water when cleaning the panel. Ingredients included in water may leave residue

and reduce readability of the screen.

Avoid rubbing off dust/dirt with cloth since it may leave scratch on the screen.

Sweep dust/dirt with fine brush, then wipe it with “dry” soft cloth used for cleaning glasses.

Apply camera lens cleaner on a soft gauze and clean it with gentle force. Then, wipe with dry

soft cloth used for cleaning glasses.

CAUTION

Areas excluding the display

Wipe these areas with a soft cloth, after applying water or detergent diluted with water to the

soft cloth and firmly wringing out excess water.

Do not touch or use a touchscreen before you re-attach a Protective Film, as you may leave

a mark or a scratch on the touchscreen.

CAUTION

Saving Data on the Hard Disk

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 indica-

tor ( ) is on.

Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems.

Save all valuable data to floppy disks, etc.

Backing up data to floppy disks, etc. will limit damage should trouble occur to your com-

puter or should you inadvertently change or erase data.

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

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")

Operation

Useful Information

When Using Peripheral Devices

Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral de-

vices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, care-

fully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.

Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.

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 con-

firm the condition 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.

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

them regularly.

We recommend you run the software:

• After 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 power down your computer or press the disk eject button while the MP indica-

tor ( ) 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, damp-

ness, 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 important data. This prevents your data from being erased or over-

written.

Operation

When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device

When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, 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 Windows 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 the hard disk data

erase utility (included) ( page 38). (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guar-

antee that data will be completely erased.)

Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial soft-

ware that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing

agreement for that software.

When Changing Hard Disk Partitions

When using the hard disk backup function ( page 34), do not divide up the hard disk before

creating a backup region. If you do this, the backup region cannot be created. Divide into the

partition when the backup region is created.

No display after powering on

The power has not been

turned off, but after a cer-

tain period of time, there is

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 display-

ing the correct colors

The external display no

longer displays properly

During simultaneous dis-

play, the screen of the exter-

nal display becomes disor-

dered

When an MPEG file is be-

ing played with Media

Player, the display destina-

tion cannot be switched us-

ing 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 sepa-

rate 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 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 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 indicator blinks

green and orange alternately

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 discon-

nect 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.

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.

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 malfunc-

tion. Perform [Calibration] ( page 13).

Appendix

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 opera-

tional 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).

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.

1Display 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].

2Select [Check Now] from [Tools].

3In [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 recov-

ery 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.

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 malfunc-

tion, 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.

About Bluetooth

Communications are conducted via a Bluetooth antenna.

Do not do anything to block the radio waves, for example by obstructing the antenna

segment with your hand.

Bluetooth Antenna

Communication speeds and distances may vary depending on surrounding condi-

tions, such as the other device sending or receiving communications and the instal-

lation environment.

It is a characteristic of radio waves that communication speeds will tend to decrease

as the communication distance increases. We recommend that communications be-

tween Bluetooth devices be conducted in as close proximity as possible.

Communication speeds may decrease if a microwave oven is being used nearby.

DEUTSCH

Bei Bluetooth handelt es sich um eine Technologie, die eine drahtlose Kommunikation

ermöglicht. Mit Hilfe von Bluetooth können Sie auf das Internet zugreifen oder Daten mit

anderen Bluetooth-Geräten (z.B. PC, Handy, Zugriffspunkt) austauschen, ohne dass

irgendwelche Kabelanschlüsse erforderlich sind.

Informationen über Bluetooth

Die Kommunikation erfolgt über eine Bluetooth-Antenne.

Vermeiden Sie eine Blockierung der HF-Wellen, z.B. durch Verdecken des

Antennensegments mit der Hand.

Bluetooth-Antenne

Kommunikationsgeschwindigkeit und -entfernung können je nach

Umgebungsbedingungen variieren, z.B. in Abhängigkeit von dem zweiten Gerät,

das Daten überträgt oder empfängt, und von der Installationsumgebung.

Es ist eine Eigenschaft von HF-Wellen, dass sich die

Kommunikationsgeschwindigkeit bei zunehmender Entfernung verringert. Daher

empfiehlt es sich grundsätzlich, die Entfernung zwischen zwei Bluetooth-Geräten

während der Kommunikation so klein wie möglich zu halten.

Bei Betrieb eines Mikrowellenherds in der Nähe kann die

Kommunikationsgeschwindigkeit abnehmen.

À propos de Bluetooth

Les communications s’effectuent par une antenne Bluetooth.

Évitez de bloquer de quelque façon que ce soit les ondes radio, par exemple en plaçant

la main près de l’antenne.

Antenne Bluetooth

La vitesse de communication et la distance couverte peuvent varier suivant les con-

ditions environnantes, telles que les spécifications de l’autre appareil qui émet/reçoit

les signaux de communication ou que l’environnement d’installation.

La tendance à la diminution de la vitesse de communication à mesure que la distance

de communication augmente est une caractéristique des ondes radio. Il est

recommandé que la communication entre les appareils Bluetooth s’effectue sur la

distance la plus courte possible.

La vitesse de communication risque de diminuer si un four à micro-ondes est utilisé

à proximité.
