recharging time varies based on the usage
conditions. (Recharging takes longer than
usual when the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F}
or below.)
z If the temperature is low, the operating
time is shortened. Only use the computer
within the allowable temperature range.
z This computer has a high temperature
mode function that prevents the degra-
dation of the battery in high temperature
environments. (ÄReference 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.
z The 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 re-
peated recharging does not restore its
performance, the battery pack should be
replaced with a new one.
z When transporting a spare battery inside a
package, briefcase, etc., it is recommend-
ed that it be placed in a plastic bag so that
its contacts are protected.
z Always power off the computer when it is
not in use. Leaving the computer on when
the AC adaptor is not connected will ex-
haust the remaining battery capacity.

Safety Precautions
<Only for model with wireless WAN>
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, ser-
vice or repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN mo-
dem. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information
to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied
with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design,
manufacture and intended use of the product. Panasonic assumes no liability for customer failure
to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobiles. Switch Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN
modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical
equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing
aids can be affected by interference from Personal Computer or Handheld Computer
incorporating wireless WAN modem placed close to the device. If in doubt about po-
tential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the
equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem away from the
pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN mo-
dem before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The
operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with
communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspen-
sion or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
For details on usage of this unit in aircrafts please consult and follow instruction pro-
vided by the airline.

ence can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded
equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off Personal Computer or
Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem wherever forbidden, or when
you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:
z This equipment is provided with external
antenna connector(s) for connection to
optional Car Mounter or Port Replicator
for mobile external mounted antenna(s).
External antenna(s) must be professionally
installed and cannot exceed recommended
maximum antenna gain as described in
individual provided supplement instructions
for wireless transmitters. The Car Mounter
is provided with Radiall/Larsen WLAN whip
antenna, type NMO5E2400BKTNC with
5dBi antenna gain. The maximum allow-
able antenna gain for the external WWAN
base whip antenna for the cellular band
is 4 dBi, PCS band is 3 dBi, LTE Band 4
is 3 dBi, LTE Band 17 is 9 dBi and 10 dBi
for LTE Band 13. Also, user must maintain
minimum 20 cm spacing between external
antenna(s) and all person’s body (excluding
extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during
wireless modes of operation.

y Turn off the computer.
y Remove all external devices, cables, Smart Cards and other protruding objects.
y Do not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
y Do not grip the display part.
z When you board an airplane, take the computer with you and never put it in your checked lug-
gage. When using the computer on airplane, follow the airline’s instructions.
z When carrying a spare battery, put it in a plastic bag to protect its terminals.
z Avoid any harmful substances such as oil from getting into the touch pad. The pointer may not
work correctly.
z Be careful not to get injured by dropping or getting hit when carrying the computer.
z Use only the included digitizer pen to touch the screen. Do not place any object on its surface
and do not press down strongly with sharp-pointed or hard objects that may leave marks (e.g.,
nails, pencils and ball point pens).
z
Do not use the screen when dust or dirt (e.g., oil) is on the screen. Otherwise foreign particles on
the screen/digitizer pen can scratch the screen surface or obstruct the digitizer pen operation.
z Use the digitizer pen only for touching the screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage
the digitizer pen and result in scratches on the screen.
z The digitizer uses electromagnetic induction and may not work properly near strong electrical

Handling and Maintenance
When the battery indicator does not light on
The battery indicator may not light on even if the AC adaptor and the battery pack are correctly
connected to the computer, due to the following reasons.
z The AC adaptor’s protection function may be working. In this case, pull out the AC cord and
wait for more than 1 minute before reconnecting the AC cord.
When using peripheral devices
Follow these instructions and the Reference Manual to avoid any damage to the devices. Care-
fully read the instruction manuals of the peripheral devices.

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.

Handling and Maintenance
Maintenance
If drops of water or other stains get on the surface of the LCD panel, wipe them off immediately.
Failure to do so may result in staining.
To clean the LCD panel
Use the soft cloth included with the computer. (For further information, refer to “Suggestions
About Cleaning the LCD Surface” ÎReference Manual “Screen Input Operation”.)
To clean areas other than the LCD panel
Wipe with a soft dry cloth such as gauze. When using detergent, dip a soft cloth in water-diluted
detergent and wring it thoroughly.
CAUTION
z Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface caus-
ing discoloration, etc. Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics,
as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
z Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the
computer and cause malfunction or damage.
To clean inside of the dust cover
Approximately once a month, clean up inside of the dust cover by the following procedure.
A Turn off the computer and remove the AC adaptor.
B Remove the battery pack.
C Remove the screw (A) and dust cover as illustrated below.
㪘
D Clean up inside of the dust cover.
