NOTE

Before using the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive for the first time, remove the protective
sheet from the lens area. The protective sheet inside the drive delays the opening of the
drive by about ten seconds. This delay is not a problem.
Information for Windows XP
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and
other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)
may be inoperable. Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu. You
can also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default
setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).

Operation
Power Indicator
Press the power switch and hold it for approximately one second until the power indicator
turns on before releasing it.
CAUTION
While booting, avoid the following until the hard disk drive indicator ( ) has
turned off.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Touching the power switch.
• Performing any keyboard or touch pad (or external mouse) operations.
• Closing the display.
Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before powering it on again.
When the CPU temperature rises, the computer may not power on to prevent the
CPU from overheating. Should this happen, allow the computer to cool down then
switch the power on again.
If the computer still does not power on, contact Panasonic Technical Support (
page 42).
NOTE
You may encounter the following situations when the computer is turned on at very
low temperatures. These functions are designed to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions that may occur at low temperatures.
The message “Warming up the system” is displayed, and start-up takes longer than
usual (a few minutes or more).
In this case, wait for the computer to start up.
The power indicator will blink quickly (in green); in this case, the power does not
turn on, or the computer does not resume from standby or hibernation mode.
To restart the computer, leave it in an environment with a temperature of 5°C (41°F)
or more for about an hour, and try turning the power on once more.

Operation
3 Log on to Windows
NOTE
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch pad
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 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 .
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby or hibernation mode (
“Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer will resume
by pressing the power switch.
Windows XP
When switching to a different user with the Fast User Switching function, it may not be
possible to set the settings of the display. In this case, log off all users, and try the
operation once more. If the problem persists, restart the computer.

Besides the above operations, operations such as Zoom and Pan are possible by allocating
these functions to the buttons and/or pad. For more details, refer to [Mouse Properties]*.
* Windows 2000 : Select [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Mouse].
Windows XP
: Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Printers and Other Hardware] - [Mouse].
The operations of Scroll, Pan or Zoom will differ depending on the application. There are
cases the touch pad will not support these operations even with an application that supports the functions.
Handling the Touch Pad
Do not place any object on the work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed
objects (e.g., nails) or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Try to avoid having any harmful substances, such as oil, come in contact with the touch pad.
The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with
detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
