The red indicator lights
The red indicator blinks
The orange indicator blinks
The green indicator blinks
The battery indicator blinks
green and orange alternately
The battery level is very low (the charge is approx. 9% or less).
Connect the AC adaptor. You can use the computer when the battery indicator light is
orange. If you do not have an AC adaptor, save your data and power off your computer.
After replacing the battery pack with a fully charged one, turn your computer on.
Quickly save your data and power off your computer. Remove the battery pack and dis-
connect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.
If the problem persists, contact Panasonic Technical Support.  Possible failure in the
battery pack or charging circuit.
Battery cannot be recharged temporarily because the internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the acceptable temperature range for recharging. Once the allowable
range  requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Your computer can be
used normally in this state.
In high temperature mode, the battery is discharging to the level that corresponds to an
80%*1 charge for normal temperature mode. (  “Battery Power”)  Do not re-
move the battery pack while the battery indicator is blinking green or the power will be
turned off forcibly.
*1 In high temperature mode, the level that corresponds to an 80% charge for normal temperature
mode is displayed as [100%].
Warming up the system to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions at low temperature.  Leave
your computer as is. Once the allowable temperature range requirement is satisfied, your
computer will start automatically.

problems may occur.
 Some applications may not work properly.
 Key combinations with the Fn key may not work.

Confirm that the default angle of each mode is correctly set. (  “Display Rotation”)
Do not switch from Laptop mode to Tablet mode, or vice versa, while Windows is in the
process of switching users with the Fast User Switching function.
Some screensaver types do not display anything on the screen for the first minute or so.

 Touch Pad / Digitizer
If you are using an external mouse, ensure that the external mouse has been connected
correctly.
Restart the computer by using the keyboard (Press      ,   U   , and select [Restart] with

touch pad, only scroll operations are possible for the right part or bottom part of the touch
pad.   In this case, cursor operations are possible by using the work surface excluding the
right part or bottom part.   When no mode is set, the entire surface of the touch pad can be
used for cursor operations.
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Touch Pad] to [Enable]?
When external mouse drivers are installed (e.g., Intellimouse), the touch pad may not be
used.
Has the touch pad driver been properly installed?
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Digitizer] to [Enable]?

Appendix
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) hard disk
contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations.
By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting from opera-
tional errors or other factors.  Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, without having to use
other media or peripheral devices.
At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled.  If you follow the procedure below to create a backup area, the
hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data.  Note, that once the backup function has been
enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again (
 page 34).
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the CD/DVD drive), as the backup area
may not be created properly while these devices are connected.
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.
A backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several partitions.  Return
the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition only), and create the backup
area.
To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created ( page 39 step 8).
If the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after the backup
area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the backup function.  To change the
configuration, it is necessary to return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase, and
then create the backup area again.
The hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function does not
work with an external hard disk.
Backup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged.
Do not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insufficient capacity
of the backup area.
If the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it.   We recommend
that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard disk (an external hard disk
or other media).
Execute a disk error check using the following procedure.
1Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [start] - [My Computer], and select [Properties].
2Select [Check Now] from [Tools].
3In [Check Disk], select [Start] without adding a check mark beside any of the items.
If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, display [Check Disk], and
add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recov-
ery of bad sectors], select [Start], and check for disk errors again.
The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks.  Do not convert the hard
disk to a dynamic disk. The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when the data is
backed up or restored.  Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an unexpected malfunc-
tion, incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may be lost.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss of data)
as a result of the use of this function.

Regarding backup area
 Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk.  Without sufficient space
available, the backup area cannot be created.
 When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less
than half.
 The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows.  For this reason, backed up data
cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.
 When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be
overwritten.  If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously
in the backup area will be lost.
NOTE
