pack to burst or explode.
zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The
battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.
zDo not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to
become wet.
zIf 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.
zThis computer prevents overcharging of the battery by
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% of capacity.
zThe 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.
zShould 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
zThe battery pack may become warm during recharging
or normal use. This is completely normal.
z
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature of
the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature
range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122°F}) (
Î
Reference
Manual “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.)
zIf the temperature is low, the operating time is short-
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-
perature range.
z
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high tempera-
ture environments. (
Î
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 temperature mode.
zThe 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
repeated recharging does not restore its performance,
the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.
zWhen 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.
zAlways 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
(Î Reference Manual “LAN”).

Troubleshooting (Basic)
Follow the instructions below when a problem has occurred. There is also an advanced troubleshooting guide in the
“Reference Manual”. For a software problem, refer to the software’s instruction manual. If the problem persists, contact
Panasonic Technical Support (Îpage 33). You can also check the computer’s status in the PC Information Viewer
(Î Reference Manual “Checking the Computer’s Usage Status”).
Starting Up
Cannot start up.
The power indicator or bat-
tery indicator is not lit.
zConnect the AC adaptor.
zInsert a fully charged battery.
zRemove the battery pack and the AC adaptor, then connect them again.
zEven if the AC adaptor and battery pack are correctly connected, if the battery indi-
cator is not lit, the AC adaptor protection function may be operating. Disconnect the
AC cord, wait three minutes or more, and reconnect the AC cord.
zIf a device is connected to the USB port, disconnect the device, or set [USB Port] or
[Legacy USB Support] to [Disabled] in the [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility.
zIf a device is connected to the ExpressCard slot, disconnect the device, or set [Express-
Card Slot] to [Disabled] in the [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility.
The power is turned on but
“Warming up the system (up
to 30 minutes)” appears.
zThe computer is warming up before start up. Wait for the computer to start up (takes
up to 30 minutes). If, “Cannot warm up the system” is displayed, the computer failed
to warm up and does not start. In this case, turn off the computer, leave it in an envi-
ronment of 5 °C {41 °F} or higher temperature for about an hour, and then turn on
the power once more.
Cannot turn on the computer.

stays black).
zPress and hold the power switch for four seconds or longer to shut down the com-
puter forcibly. (Data not saved will be lost.) Then disable the screen saver.
It takes time for the power
indicator to light up.
zIf the power switch is pressed immediately after the battery pack has been mounted
on the computer, and while the AC adaptor is not connected, it may take about five
seconds before the power indicator lights up and the computer turns on. This is
because the computer is checking the remaining battery charge; it is not a malfunc-
tion.
You have forgotten the
password.

displays, printers, facsimiles, and copiers. Their standards and logos are uniform among participating nations.
