    Operation
    Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol.  Doing so may adversely affect the
    surface, e.g., discoloration.  In addition, do not use commercially-avai\
    lable household
    cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the su\
    rface.
    Do not directly add or spray water or detergent.  If liquid enters the inside of the com-
    puter, it may cause it to work improperly or be damaged.
    CAUTION
    Security Center/Antivirus Protection
    Use the Windows Security Center function to protect Windows from damage by computer
    viruses, etc.
    Windows Security Center
    What is Windows Security Center?
    The Windows Security Center allows centralized management of Windows security infor-
    mation, and monitors antivirus measures and other Windows security settings to ensure
    optimum safety.
    Use the Windows Security Center function to protect your computer from damage by \
    vi-
    ruses, etc.
    Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Security Center] to display the curr\
    ent settings for the
    following security functions.
    • Windows FirewallA security system for protecting the computer from unauthorized access v\
    ia the Internet
    or other external networks.
    The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the e\
    xternal net-
    work, so that only approved data can pass through.
    At the time of purchase, the Windows Firewall is set to be enabled.
    • Automatic Updates If your computer is connected to the Internet, this function regularly c\
    hecks whether secu-
    rity updates and other important updates have been made available, and a\
    utomatically
    installs these updates in their latest conditions.
    • Virus Protection This function regularly checks whether antivirus software has been insta\
    lled in the com-
    puter, and whether the version of that software is the latest version availab\
    le.
    Some network-related software and some online network games do not opera\
    te normally
    if the Windows Firewall is enabled. Ask the software manufacturer about the Windows
    Firewall in the case of using such software.
    For further details on the Windows Firewall, see the help displayed by the following
    methods:
    1Select [start] - [Help and Support] and input [Windows Firewall] into [Search] and
    select 
    .

    Operation
    Wireless LAN (only for models with wireless LAN)
    To prevent theft of data or unauthorized access to the hard disk
    via a wireless LAN.
    If you plan to use wireless LAN functions, we recommend that you do so o\
    nly after making
    the appropriate security settings, such as for data encryption.
    Hard Disk Lock
    When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/wri\
    te data from/to the hard
    disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer. When the hard disk is returned to the
    original computer, you can read/write data as before.  In this case, however, make the settings in
    the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was\
     removed.  (Note that this
    Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee the complete protection of data.) (
      “Security Mea-
    sures”)
    When Using Peripheral Devices
    Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the comp\
    uter, peripheral devices,
    cables, etc.  Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, car\
    efully read
    the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.
    Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.
    Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the
    connectors.
    If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to con-
    firm the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, et\
    c.).
    If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.
    Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the c\
    ables forcefully.
    When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device
    When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, erase all da\
    ta on the hard disk in
    order to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or\
     initialize the hard disk
    through normal Windows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order\
     to
    erase all data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use the hard disk data
    erase utility (included) (
     page 38).  (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guar\
    -
    antee that data will be completely erased.)
    Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial soft-
    ware that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of t\
    he licensing
    agreement for that software.
    When Changing Hard Disk Partitions
    When using the hard disk backup function, divide the hard disk into part\
    itions when a backup
    area is created (
     page 34).  If you divide up the hard disk into partitions before creat\
    ing the
    backup area, the backup area cannot be created.

    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. The battery pack or charg-
    ing circuit may be defective.
    In high temperature mode, the battery is discharging to the level that corresponds to an
    80%*2 charge for normal temperature mode. (   “Battery Power”) Do not re-
    move the battery pack while the battery indicator is blinking green. If \
    you remove it, the
    power will be turned off forcibly.

    *2In high temperature mode, the level that corresponds to an 80% charge for normal tem-
    perature mode is displayed as [100%].
    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.
