Than Indicated in This Manual

If the battery pack is not charged using one of the meth-

ods indicated in this manual, electrolyte leakage, genera-

tion of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It

to Excessive Heat

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, in Direct Sunlight,

for Example)

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture

may result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack,

Expose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Mod-

ify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture

may result.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Con-

tacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not

place the battery pack together with articles such as neck-

laces or hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other

Than the One Specified

Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU43) with

your CF-74. Use of battery packs other than those manu-

factured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety

hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).

zDo not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The

battery pack may no longer function properly if the

contacts are dirty or damaged.

zDo not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to

become wet.

zIf 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.

zThis computer prevents overcharging of the battery by

recharging only when the remaining power is less than

approx. 95% of capacity.

zThe 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.

zShould 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.

NOTE

zThe battery pack may become warm during recharging

or normal use. This is completely normal.

zRecharging 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}) (Î Ref-

erence Manual “Battery Power”). Once the allowable

range requirement is satisfied, charging begins auto-

matically. 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

below.)

zIf the temperature is low, the operating time is short-

ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-

perature range.

zThis computer has a high temperature mode function

that prevents the degradation of the battery in high

temperature environments. (Î Reference Manual

“Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%

charge for high temperature mode is approximately

equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal tempera-

ture mode.

zThe 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

repeated recharging does not restore its performance,

the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.

zWhen 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.

zAlways 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.

Maintenance

Getting StartedUseful InformationTroubleshootingAppendix

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) the

hard disk data or to restore the backup data to their original locations.

Using this function, you can protect your data when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors. You do

not need other media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.

At purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled. If you create a backup area, the hard disk backup function will

be enabled and you can back up your data.

CAUTION

zTo disable the backup function after it is enabled, you have to perform the reinstallation procedure (Îpage 20).

zA backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several partitions. Return the computer to

one partition, and create the backup area.

zIf the partition configuration is changed after the backup area is created (creating partitions, changing size, etc.), the

backup function will be disabled. You need to return the computer to the original condition and create the backup

area again.

zDo not use the NTFS file system compression function. It may result in insufficient capacity of the backup area.

zThe hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not convert the hard disk to a dynamic

disk.

NOTE

zThe backup area requires at least half of the entire hard disk capacity. If the capacity is not sufficient, the backup

area will not be created.

zWhen the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be less than half of the original capacity.

zThe backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. The backup data cannot be copied to CD-R or other remov-

able disk media.

zWhen the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be overwritten and the data previously

stored will be lost.

Preparation

zPrepare the following items:

• The Product Recovery DVD-ROM (included)

• Panasonic CD/DVD drive (included)

zRemove all peripherals (except for the CD/DVD drive).

zConnect the AC adaptor and do not remove it until hard disk backup is complete.
