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 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 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, briefcase, 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.
Getting Started
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 become 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 recharging 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.

4 Select your application.
You are able to start working on your computer.
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 users, and
try the operation once more. If the problem persists, restart the computer.

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 operational 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 26).
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 malfunction, 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.
Preparing
Product Recovery CD-ROM (included)
Panasonic DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive (optional: CF-VDRRT1M)
Appendix
Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function
30
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive), SD
memory cards, and MultiMedia 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 31 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.
1 Display the [Local Disk(C:) properties].

The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not convert the hard
disk to a dynamic disk.
NOTE
Regarding backup area
• Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk. Without sufficient space
available, the backup area cannot be created.
• When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less
than half.
• The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data
cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.
• When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be
overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously
in the backup area will be lost.
