2 Connect your computer to a power outlet
The battery charging starts automatically.
CAUTION
l Do not disconnect the AC adaptor and do not switch the
wirelessswitchtoonuntiltherst-timeoperationprocedure
is completed.
l Whenusingthecomputerforthersttime,donotconnect
any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC adap-
tor.
l Handling the AC adaptor
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during
periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely
affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source (UPS)
is highly recommended unless running from the battery pack
alone.
l When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, dis-
connect the AC cord from your electrical outlet. Power is
consumed simply by having the AC adaptor plugged into an
electrical outlet.
3 Open the display
A Pull out the handle.
l If you do not pull out the handle before opening the
display, the computer may fall over due to the weight
of the display.
B Pull the top of the latch (A) to release it.
C Hold the side of the computer with either of your hands
and then lift up the display to open.
CAUTION
l Do not open the display wider than necessary (180° or
more), and do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD. Do
not open or close the computer holding the edge of the LCD
segment.

Handling and Maintenance
Operation environment
l Placethecomputeronaatstablesurfacenotsubjecttoshock,vibration,anddangerof
dropping. Do not place the computer upright or turn it over. If the computer is exposed to an
extremely strong impact, it may become damaged.
l Operating environment
Temperature: Operation : -10 °C to 50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F} (IEC60068-2-1, 2)*1
Storage : -20 °C to 60 °C {- 4 °F to 140 °F}
Humidity: Operation : 30% to 80% RH (No condensation)
Storage : 30% to 90% RH (No condensation)
Even within the above temperature/humidity ranges, operation for a long time in extreme en-
vironments, smoking nearby, or operation in places where oil is used or where there is a lot of
dust will result in the product deterioration and will shorten the product life.
*1 Do not expose the skin to this product when using the product in a hot or cold environment.
(è OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Read Me First)
If the computer is wet in temperatures of 0 °C {32 °F} or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to
dry off the computer in such temperatures.
l Do not place the computer in the following areas, otherwise the computer may be damaged.
Near electronic equipment. Image distortion or noise may occur.
In extremely high or low temperature.
l As the computer can become hot during operation, keep it away from items that are sensitive
to heat.
Handling cautions
This computer is designed to minimize shock to parts such as the LCD and the hard disk drive
and equipped with a drip-proof keyboard, but no warranty is provided against any trouble caused
by shock. Be extremely careful when handling the computer.
l When carrying the computer:
Turn off the computer.
Remove all external devices, cables and other protruding objects.
Do not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
Do not leave the display open.
Do not grip the display part.

WAN
<Only for model with wireless LAN/Bluetooth/wireless WAN>
l Before using wireless LAN/Bluetooth/wireless WAN, make the appropriate security settings
such as data encryption.
n Battery Recalibration
l The battery recalibration may take a long time due to the large battery capacity. This is not a
malfunction.
<When performing “Battery Recalibration” after shutting down Windows>
Full charge: Approximately 2.5 hours
Complete discharge: Approximately 4 hours (with CF-VZSU0QW)
When performing “Battery Recalibration” without shutting down Windows, it may take more

Useful Information
Handling and Maintenance
n Sensors
This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, magnetic sensor,
ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any software that is compatible.
As the accuracy of each sensor output is dependent on the operating environment and other con-
ditions, the results should only be used as a reference.
The acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic sensor are located at the bottom left of the
LCD. The detection results of each sensor may vary depending on how you are holding the com-
puter, the application software you are using, and other factors.
l Automatic brightness adjustment
The computer is equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function that adjusts the
displayscreenbasedontheambientlightsensor.Youcanconguretheautomaticadjustment
function as follows.
A Click (Start) at the lower left, and then click (Settings) - [System] - [Display].
B Set [Adjust my screen brightness automatically] to [On].
A Click (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Hardware and Sound] - [Power Option].
B Click [Change plan settings] for the power plan currently used.
C Click [Change advanced power settings] and double-click [Display].
D Double-click [Enable adaptive brightness], make necessary settings, and click [OK].
Set each item to ON, and the brightness of the screen display will adjust automatically.
The ambient light sensor is located at the top of LCD.
The ambient light cannot be detected properly if this area is obstructed or dirty.
l Magnetic sensor
The magnetic sensor on the computer operates by detecting geomagnetism. Therefore, the
magnetic sensor may not function properly and it readings may be inaccurate, especially in
the following environments.
Inside or near steel structures such as buildings or bridges
Inside or near automobiles, or near train power lines
Near metallic furniture or appliances
When the AC adaptor or other peripheral devices are brought closer to the computer
Nearmagnets,speakers,orotherobjectswithstrongmagneticelds
The magnetic directions indicated by the magnetic sensor may not be accurate immediately
afterpurchaseorinenvironmentswithpoormagneticelds.
In such cases, turn on the computer and move it as follows.
A Hold the computer so that its screen side is facing upward and level.
B While keeping the computer level, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise.
C Return the computer to position A, and rotate it 90 degrees or more counterclockwise.
D Return the computer to position A.
E
Tilt the computer 90 degrees or more to the left so that the left side of the computer tilts down.
F Return the computer to position A, and tilt it 90 degrees or more to the right so that the
right side of the computer tilts down.
CAUTION
Holdthecomputerrmlywhenmovingit.Strongshocksfromdroppingthecomputermay
result in damage.
If the sensors do not works correctly, check the settings according to the follow-
ing steps.
A Click (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Hardware and Sound] - [Location and Other Sensors].
B Add the check mark for each check box.
C Click [Apply].
