Usage

Precautions (Battery Pack)

Getting Started

Precautions (Battery Pack)

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 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (

“Battery Power”) Once the allowable range re-

quirement 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 less.)

If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened.

Only use the computer within the allowable temperature

range.

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

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.

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.

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.

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/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

complete 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*1 down to avoid problems.

Save all valuable data to disks.

Backing up data to disks 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/MultiMedia Card”)

First-time Operation

Connect your computer to a power outlet.

CAUTION

Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing Step 7 on page 14.

When using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral de-

vice except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.

Handling the AC adaptor

Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the

connections.

Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer. Using an AC adaptor

other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.

When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord

from your AC wall outlet.

OperationOperation

The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch

pad, touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen) 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, touchscreen

(only for models with touchscreen) 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 sliding the power switch.

You may hear a mechanical “click” shortly after the hard disk indicator has turned

off when there has been no input from a key or device operation, when the computer

enters the standby or hibernation mode, or when Windows is shut down. This is the

sound of the head shifting positions, to reduce power consumption or to protect the

hard disk from shocks. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.

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 logged in

users, and try the operation once more. If the problem persists, restart the computer.

Troubleshooting

List of Error Codes

The following is a list of the messages that BIOS can display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them display

information about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device,

such as the way it has been configured. Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for reported

problems.

If your system displays any of the below error messages other that the ones marked with an asterisk (*), write down the

message and contact your technical support office. ( page 38) If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus,

reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.

0200 Failure Fixed Disk

0250 System battery is dead - Replace and run SETUP

The CMOS clock battery indicator shows the battery is dead. Replace the battery and run Setup to reconfigure the system.

*0251 System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used

System CMOS has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. The

BIOS installed Default SETUP Values. If you do not want these values, enter Setup and enter your own values. If the error persists, check

the system battery or contact your technical support office.

0260 System timer error

*0280 Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used

Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect

values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup settings can also

terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup and verify that the wait-state configuration is correct. This error is cleared

the next time the system is booted.

02D0 System cache error - Cache disabled

Contact your technical support office.

Failing Bits : nnnn

The hex number nnnn is a map of the bits at the RAM address which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed bit.

AppendixAppendix

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 reinstall procedure to disable it again ( page 27).

Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices, SD memory cards, and MultiMedia cards. Take

care to disconnect all USB floppy disk drives, 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 32 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.
