							Important Battery Tips
Charge the battery until the battery indicator turns green only when it is completely dis-
charged
The battery deteriorates each time it is charged. By charging the batter\
y only when it has become completely
discharged, you will reduce the number of charges, and thus extend the l\
ife of your battery. Do not charge the
battery repeatedly before it is discharged.
To help reduce the number of charges, the battery can only be recharged w\
hen the remaining power is less than
about 95% of capacity.
Charge the battery in a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C {50°F to 86°F}
The battery deteriorates more quickly when it is charged at high tempera\
tures. Do not charge the battery in high
temperature environments, such as in a closed car in the hot sun.
When the battery temperature is outside the allowable temperature range,\
 the battery indicator blinks orange and
charging will not begin.
Charge the battery while the computer/wireless display is powered off
Even if the environmental temperature is within the allowable temperatur\
e range, if the computer ’s/wireless display’s
power is on, the battery temperature rises due to the effects of heat from the CPU and other components. Since
this heat can lead to deterioration of the battery, we recommend that you only charge the battery when the
computer/wireless display is powered off.
Use the high temperature mode
The high temperature mode is a function that prevents deterioration of t\
he battery in high temperature environ-
ments.
We recommend setting the high temperature mode function when installing t\
he computer in a car or other location
where the temperature may rise above the allowable temperature range.
How to set the high temperature mode

Set [Environment] in the [Main] menu  of the Setup Utility to [High Temperature].

Set [Environment] in the [Battery]  menu of the setting menus to [High Temperature].
We also recommend setting the high temperature mode function in the follo\
wing situations.
When using the computer/wireless display for a long period of time with \
the AC adaptor connected.
When long-term battery operation is not required.
1. Charging the battery 
						

							If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time (a month\
 or more), to main-
tain the performance of the battery, charge or discharge (use) the battery pack until the
remaining battery level is between 30% and 40%, then remove it from the \
computer and
store it in a cool, dry place.
If the battery pack is left connected to the unit, it will discharge gra\
dually even when the computer is powered off.
If this continues for a long period of time (more than a few months), \
the battery will be subject to excessive
discharge, which may cause deterioration of the battery.
If the battery pack is stored in high temperature locations, such as in \
a closed car in the hot sun, it will deteriorate
more quickly.  Store the battery pack in a location that will remain between 10°C and 30°C {50°F to 86°F}.
2. Storing the battery pack
Important Battery Tips 
						

							Leave the computer/wireless display off when it is not in use

Adjust the LCD’s brightness (darker) by setting [Backlight] in the [General] menu of \
the
settings menus
Using this menu setting will lower the LCD’s brightness, thereby reducing the power consumption.

When not using the computer, put the computer in the standby or hibernation mode by
selecting menu from the shut down screen of Windows.
This operation lower the power consumption of the computer.

Windows 2000
Use [Control Panel] - [Power Options] for detailed power settings
Windows XP
Use [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] fo\
r detailed power
settings

Use [LCD Off Timer] or [Power Off Timer] in the [Option] menu of the settings menus for
detailed power settings

We recommend using the AC adaptor
We recommend that you keep the AC adaptor with the computer whenever poss\
ible, even when using the com-
puter on the road.
We recommend against using applications that place a significant load on \
the CPU
Some screen savers place a large burden on the CPU. When using these scr\
een savers, a significant load is
placed on the CPU even when the computer is not being used. We recommend that you do not use screen saver
programs.
Remove peripheral devices (USB devices, PC Cards, external mouse, etc.)\
 when not in
use
Accurately display battery capacity by using “Refresh Battery”
If the battery pack has been left unused for a long period of time, or i\
f the battery has deteriorated, the remaining
battery capacity may not be displayed accurately. In this case, use the “Refresh Battery ” function to update the
battery capacity display.
3. Using the battery pack efficiently
Important Battery Tips 
						

							Use or store the battery pack in the temperature range of 10°C to 30°C {50°F to 86°F}
Do not leave the battery pack for extended periods where it will be expo\
sed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in a
closed car in the hot sun, for example), or in a cold place.
Using or storing the battery pack repeatedly or continuously outside the\
 temperature range of 10°C to 30°C  {50°F
to 86°F} will shorten the life of the battery.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack or the computer/wireless \
display
The battery pack may not function properly if the contacts are dirty or \
damaged.  Also, the computer may not
operate properly.

Do not insert/remove the battery pack while the computer is in the stand\
by mode
Removing the battery pack while the computer is in the standby mode may \
cause data to be erased and may
cause the computer to malfunction.
Charging time and discharge time differs depending on the computer’s/wireless display’s
temperature and power status
It takes longer to fully charge the battery when the computer’s/wireless display’ s power is on. To charge the
battery more quickly, power the computer/wireless display off, or put it in the standby or the hibernation mode.
It takes longer to fully charge the battery in low temperature environme\
nts.
The battery discharges more quickly in low temperature environments.
4. Things to keep in mind when using the battery pack
Important Battery Tips 
						

							The battery pack has a function for measuring, storing, and learning abo\
ut battery capacity. Using this function
properly to accurately display remaining battery capacity requires that \
the battery be fully charged (charged to 100%),
then fully discharged, and then fully charged again.
This procedure should be performed once after you purchase the computer/\
wireless display. As you use the battery
pack over a long period of time, the remaining capacity display may beco\
me inaccurate due to battery deterioration
and other factors. If this is the case, the procedure described below sh\
ould be performed again.

1Attach the battery pack and connect the AC adaptor
Remove all peripherals (except for the battery pack and AC adaptor).

							Important Touchscreen Tips
Basic operation
Operate the touchscreen with an approved stylus
When using the touchscreen function, use only an approved stylus on the \
surface.
Operating the touchscreen with an object other than the stylus (a finge\
rnail or metal object, or other hard or sharp
objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface, causing t\
he touchscreen to malfunction.
Do not apply too much pressure when operating the touchscreen
Only a light touch is required to operate the touchscreen. Applying too \
much pressure may damage the surface.Clicking (Tapping)
Tap once
Double-clicking (Double-tapping)
Tap twice quickly Dragging
Touch and hold the object, and then
move the stylus across the surface of
the screen
Moving the cursor
Move the stylus over the surface of the
screen
1. Operation of the touchscreen
 
						

							When the touchscreen becomes dirty, wipe it with an approved soft cloth
The touchscreen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to th\
e surface, so dirt can be removed easily
using a dry cloth (use only the approved soft cloth). If the dirt does\
 not come off easily, breathe on the surface and
try again.
Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
Clean the touchscreen while the wireless display is powered off
Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the wireless display\
 to malfunction. Also, dirt on the
touchscreen is easier to see when the wireless display is powered off, and so is easier to clean.
Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty
When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent.  Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner \
(softener),
or try to sterilize the cloth by boiling.
If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the touchscreen, and in fact may cause dirt to adher\
e to the
touchscreen.
Check the following to prevent the surface of the touchscreen from being\
 scratched
Are you using a stylus to operate the touchscreen?
Is the surface clean?
Is the soft cloth clean?
Are you using the stylus with the tip extended?
Is the tip of the stylus clean?
A protective film can be used to protect the surface from scratches
If you think that the touchscreen will have to be operated while it is d\
irty, we recommend that you use a protective
film (available separately) to prevent the surface from being scratche\
d.
If the touchscreen surface has already been scratched, the same protecti\
ve film can be used to prevent the
scratches from becoming any deeper. The scratches will not be completely hidden, but they will be less not\
ice-
able.
When the approved soft cloth or stylus is lost or damaged
The approved soft cloth and stylus are available as options.
Contact Panasonic Technical Support for details.
2. Maintaining the performance of the touchscreen
Important Touchscreen Tips
 
						

							Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area
The touchscreen input area is defined by the LCD display screen. Touching the screen outside of the display area
may result in malfunctions or damage to the touchscreen.
Do not apply excessive force to the touchscreen
Do not lift the computer while holding the LCD screen, or allow the scre\
en to be twisted. Do not place any objects
on the LCD screen. Any of the above may cause the touchscreen glass to b\
reak, or may damage the LCD screen.
Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments
The touchscreen may respond to operations more slowly when using the com\
puter at temperatures less than
5°C, but this is not a malfunction. Response time will return to normal wh\
en the computer is returned to room
temperature.
If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touche\
d, recalibrate
the touchscreen
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the wireless display for details \
on how to carry out the calibration.
