Precautions (Battery Pack)

NOTE

The battery pack may become warm during recharging

or normal use. This is completely normal.

Recharging will not commence if internal temperature

of the battery pack is outside of the allowable tempera-

ture 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 tempera-

ture 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”) A level

corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature

mode is approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level

for normal temperature mode.

The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of

time the computer can be run by using a particular bat-

tery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated re-

charging does 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.

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.

Keep Articles Away

Do not place the battery pack together with articles

such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor-

ing.

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.

Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight

Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for

extended periods where it will be exposed to direct

sunlight, in a hot place (in a car on a sunny day, for

example), or in a cold place.

Do Not Put into a Microwave

Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven

or a pressurized chamber.

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, re-

move it from the computer or charger and stop us-

ing 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.

Do not use this computer with a battery pack

other than the one specified (the one included

with the computer or the specified battery pack

sold separately)

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.

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 be-

come wet.

Useful Information

Saving Data on the Hard Disk

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 the com-

plete protection of data.) ( “Security Measures”)

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 disks, etc.

Backing up data to disks, etc. 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” and

“SD Memory Card Security Function”)

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 and the Reference Manual, carefully read

the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.

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

settings. (The processing speed depends on the application software used, so this opera-

tion may not cause the processing speed to increase.)

If you install resident software after purchasing this computer, disable the resident software.

When Indexing Service is enabled, Windows operation becomes slower.

Disable Indexing Service in the following menu.

[start] - [Search] - [Change preferences] - [Without Indexing Service]

You can set the date and time using the following menu:

[start] - [Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options] - [Date and Time]

When the computer is connected to a LAN, confirm the date and time of the server.

If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock may

need to be replaced. Contact Panasonic Technical Support.

This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year 2100 A.D.

Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not appear

when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode. If you want to use the

security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the Windows pass-

word as follows:

1Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts], and select the account for which the

password will be set.

2Select [Create a password], input the password, and then [Create Password].

3Add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby]

in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced].

If you have created a password reset disk ( page 14), a message is displayed when you

fail to correctly enter the password. Follow the message’s instructions and set the pass-

word again by using the password reset disk.

If you have not created a password reset disk, after reinstalling, setup Windows and then

set the password again.

This means a floppy disk that does not contain system startup information has been left in

the floppy disk drive. Remove the floppy disk, and press any key.

This message may appear when certain USB devices are connected. Remove the USB

device, or set [Legacy USB Support] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility to [Disable].

If the message still appears even after trying the above measures, this may be an indication

that some type of hard disk failure has occurred. Contact Panasonic Technical Support.

This screen appears because the Battery Recalibration was canceled before Windows was

shut down last. To start up Windows, turn off the computer by sliding the power switch,

and then turn it back on again.

When a problem occurs, refer to this page. The “Reference Manual” also contains detailed information. If a problem appears to be

related to a software application, read the software related manual. If you still cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact Panasonic

Technical Support. ( page 41)You can use the PC Information Viewer to check the computer’s usage status. ( “Deal-

ing with Problems (Advanced)”)

Starting Up

Troubleshooting

Dealing with Problems (Summary)

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

The LCD brightness changes

a number of times when the

AC adaptor is disconnected

Image colors are not repro-

duced as expected when dis-

playing photographs or

other images

An afterimage appears (e.g.,

green, red, and blue dots re-

main on the display) or there

are dots not displaying the

correct colors

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.

Press Fn + F2 and adjust the brightness.

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,

press 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.

Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology ( “Computing on the Road”) is

active and automatically changes the LCD brightness.

We recommend removing the check mark from [Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technol-

ogy]. ( “Computing on the Road”)

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.

Display

When the previous item is

not the cause

Press F9 in the Setup Utility ( “Setup Utility”). This will restore the Setup

Utility’s settings to their default values (except the password settings).

Try removing all peripheral devices.

Check a disk error using the following procedure.

1Display [Local Disk(C:) Properties].

Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [start] - [My Computer], and select

[Properties].

2Select [Tools] - [Check Now].

3Select [Start] after selecting required items in [Check disk options].

At startup, hold down F8 when [Panasonic] boot screen disappears*1, and release

your finger when the Windows Advanced Options Menu is displayed. Start the computer

in Safe Mode, and confirm the details of the error.

*1 When [Password on boot] is set to [Enable], [Enter Password] appears after the [Panasonic] boot

screen disappears. Hold down F8 soon after inputting the password and pressing Enter .

MPEG file or a DVD video

is being played with

WinDVD or Windows? Me-

dia Player, the display des-

tination cannot be switched

using Fn + F3

When the screen saver is set,

an error will occur during a

resume operation

The screen display may become distorted if the resolution or number of colors is changed,

or if an external display is connected or disconnected while the computer is operating.

Restart the computer.

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.

Change the size of the icons, etc. using “Icon Enlarger” ( “Icon Enlarger”).

To enlarge a part of the screen, use Loupe Utility ( “Loupe Utility”).

Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .

If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display destination in the follow-

ing menu.

[start] - [Control Panel] - [Other Control Panel Options] - [Intel(R) GMA Driver] - [De-

vices]

When the [Command Prompt] is set to “Full Screen” by pressing Alt + Enter , the

picture is displayed on one of the screens only. When the window display is restored by

pressing Alt + Enter , the picture is displayed on both screens.

The display destination cannot be switched while a video such as an MPEG file and a

DVD video is playing. Stop playing the video before switching the display destination.

When the computer automatically enters the standby or hibernation mode while the screen

saver is running, an error may occur during a resume operation. In such cases, turn off the

screen saver or try changing the pattern of the screensaver.

Display (continued)

Battery Indicator

The red indicator lights

The red indicator blinks

The green indicator blinks*2

The orange indicator blinks

The battery level is very low (the charge is approx. 9% or less).

Connect the AC adaptor. You can use the computer when the battery 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 dis-

connect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.

If the problem persists, contact Panasonic Technical Support. The battery pack or charg-

ing circuit may be defective.

In high temperature mode, the battery is discharging to the level that corresponds to an

80%*1 charge for normal temperature mode. ( “Battery Power”) Do not re-

move the battery pack while the battery indicator is blinking green, or the power will be

turned off forcibly.

*1In high temperature mode, the level that corresponds to an 80% charge for normal tem-

perature mode is displayed as [100%].

*2Only for the main battery pack.

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.

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 and SD Memory Cards. Take care to disconnect the

USB floppy disk 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 35 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 malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. 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].

Select [start] - [My Computer], right-click [Local Disk(C:)], and then 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 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.

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
