Do Not Use with Any Other Product
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for
the specified product. If it is used with a product other
than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leak-
age, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.
Do Not Charge the Battery Using Methods Other Than
Those Specified
If the battery pack is not charged using one of the speci-
fied methods, electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, igni-
tion 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 Product with a Battery Pack Other
Than the One Specified
Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU51W/CF-
VZSU52W) with your product. Use of battery packs other
than those manufactured and supplied by Panasonic may
present a safety hazard (generation of heat, ignition or
rupture).
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% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:
75%) 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.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely nor-
mal.
Recharging will not commence if internal tempera-
ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131
°F}). ( Reference Manual “Battery Power”)
Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied,
charging begins automatically. Note that the
recharging time varies based on the usage condi-
tions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when
the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or below.)
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 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.
When transporting a spare battery inside a pack-
age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be
placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-
tected.
Always power off the computer when it is not in
use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-
tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-
tery capacity.

Getting StartedUseful InformationTroubleshootingAppendix
The keyboard on this computer incorporate a drain system (a moisture protection mechanism) that minimizes the
amount of liquid reaching the inside of the computer even if water is spilled on the keyboard.
Any water that comes in contact with the keyboard is drained off through holes in the bottom of the computer, so that vir-
tually no water is left inside the computer. However, this is not a guarantee against damage to the hard disk or other
internal parts, or against the loss or deletion of data.
The drain system is incorporated into only the keyboard. It does not apply to any other components.
If you spill water or any other liquid on the keyboard, even a small amount, be sure to perform the following steps.
Failure to perform these steps may result in damage to the computer. The drain system will not provide complete
protection against water entering the computer.
1 Immediately turn off the computer, and remove the AC adaptor.
2 Wipe any water droplets off of the top of the keyboard using a
soft, dry cloth.
3 Slowly lift up the computer, keeping it level,
and wipe any water coming out of the holes
on the bottom using a soft, dry cloth.
If the computer is tilted during this step, liquid may seep
inside the computer resulting in damage.
4 Keeping the computer level, move
the computer to a dry place.
If the computer is placed back on the wet
surface, water may seep inside the computer
from the bottom.
5 Remove the battery pack.

Hard Disk Backup Function (Recover Pro)
The Recover Pro creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk to back up (store) the hard disk data, and
restores the backup data to its original location when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors.
You do not need external media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.
At purchase, the Recover Pro is not installed. Install using the instructions below.
The Recover Pro provides 3 types of backup as follows:
Quick Backup: Scheduled backup of the updated data
File Backup: File backup at file save and change
Complete Backup: Backup of the entire data on the internal hard disk
Here, we will explain the procedures for installation, complete backup (backing up hard disk contents in case Windows can-
not be booted), and complete restore (recovering the hard disk data to its condition at the time of the complete backup).
For further information, refer to the software’s online manual (
page 25).
CAUTION
All operations should be executed with the AC adaptor connected. Do not turn the power off while operations are in
progress. If the power is turned off while installation, backup, or restore operations are in progress, these operations
may not function properly, and it may be impossible to start Windows. Also, do not press any keys or slide any
switches, including hot keys.
When restarting the computer, the message “Check file system on C:” will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Do not skip the check process.
Make sure you allow enough space on the hard disk when choosing settings during installation. To change these
settings you must reinstall Recover Pro.
To execute Complete Backup reliably, we recommend performing [Typical] installation in the following cases.
Hard
disk
with a single partition
Immediately after reinstalling software (when more than half of the entire space of the hard disk is available)
(page 27)
Be sure to use the internal hard disk drive to create the backup area. Never use disk or device other than the internal
hard disk drive.
Some software (security software, backup software, encryption software, or hard disk accessible specific software,
etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.
For further information, refer to:
http://www.phoenix.com/en/Customer+Services/White+Papers-Specs/Recover+Pro/default.htm
When using Personal Secure Drive ( Installation Manual of "Trusted Platform Module (TPM)"), do not execute
File Backup for Personal Secure Drive.
The “Create recovery CD-DVD” function in Recover Pro is designed to help you save complete backup data to CD or
DVD. When using the “Create recovery CD-DVD”, you can view the complete backup data on the hard disk, but take
care to avoid accidentally deleting this data.

Hard Disk Data Erase Utility
When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage.
Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with some
special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.
Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s
license agreement.
CAUTION
When the hard disk contains the Recover Pro backup data, the Recover Pro backup area is lost as well.
NOTE
This utility cannot erase data for specific partitions.
It will take 2 to 5 hours to erase the data. (Erasing time varies depending on the capacity of the hard disk.)
