Precautions (Battery Pack)  
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in  
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-  
age.  
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 be-  
come 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 re-  
charging only when the remaining power is less than approx.  
95% of capacity.  
Avoid Heat  
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or  
expose it to excessive heat.  
Keep Articles Away  
Do not place the battery pack together with ar-  
ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-  
ing or storing.  
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 pos-  
sible.  
Do Not Disassemble  
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,  
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-  
semble, or modify it.  
Do Not Short  
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)  
contacts.  
NOTE  
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-  
light  
The battery pack may become warm during recharging  
or normal use. This is completely normal.  
Recharging will not commence outside of the allow-  
able temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131  
Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for  
extended periods where it will be exposed to di-  
rect sunlight, in a hot place (in a car on a sunny  
day, for example), or in a cold place.  
°F}). (  
“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 less.)  
If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-  
ened. Only use the computer within the allowable tem-  
perature 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.  
Do Not Use With Any Other Computer  
The battery pack is rechargeable and was in-  
tended for the specified computer. Do not use it  
with a computer other than the one for which it  
was designed.  
Do not use this computer with a battery pack  
other than the one specified (the one included  
with the computer or the specified battery  
pack sold separately)  
Do Not Put into a Microwave  
Do not put the battery pack into a microwave  
oven or a pressurized chamber.  
When 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.  
Always 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.  
Stop Using  
Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be-  
come hot to the touch, become discolored,  
change shape, or become in any way different  
from normal, remove it from the computer and  
stop using it.

Useful Information  
DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW Drive  
Before using the drive  
Do not expose the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive to excessive smoke that may leave a  
residue, e.g. oil smoke, or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive lens.  
When opening/closing the disk cover  
When the computer is on, be sure to use the drive power/open switch on the front right of  
the computer or perform the ejecting operation through Windows.  
• When a using B’s Recorder/B’s CLiP, operations may differ depending on conditions.  
(
“Writing to CDs (B's Recorder/B's CLiP )”)  
When closing the disk cover, press the left side of the cover above the drive power/open  
switch (indicated by an arrow) to ensure that the cover is locked in place.  
Do not access the drive until after the disk cover is closed and the DVD-ROM & CD-R/  
RW drive status indicator  
changes to lighting from blinking.  
To remove a disk when the disk cover cannot be opened or when the computer is powered  
off:  
Insert a pointed object (e.g., the bent-out tip of a paper clip, or the tip of a ballpoint pen)  
into the emergency hole (A), and then move in the direction of the arrow.  
The disk cover can be opened up to an angle of 70 degrees. Do not force the cover open  
any further.  
If a hand or other object touches the disk cover and accidentally opens wider than 70  
degrees, pull it forward slowly until the stopper holds the cover in its proper position.  
Do not leave the disk cover in the open position or touch the lens.  
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disk. This may result in a  
read or write malfunction.  
Be careful not to do any of the following when the disk cover is open:  
• Do not close the display.  
Be sure to close the display only after confirming the disk cover is closed. If the disk  
cover is not closed, the LCD may be damaged.  
• Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive.  
Doing so could cause it to malfunction.  
Insert the disk securely.  
If the disk cover is closed without securely inserting the disk, the disk may be damaged.  
About recognition of media  
It may take about 30 - 40 seconds for an image recorded to a rewritable media to be  
played back.  
While the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive is being accessed  
Do not open the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive or move the computer while the DVD-  
ROM & CD-R/RW drive is being accessed.  
Doing so could cause the disk to shift position. This may damage the disk, or cause the  
DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive to malfunction.  
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disk, do not open the DVD-  
ROM & CD-R/RW drive until after the application has been closed.  
Do not shock the computer, such as by removing or inserting cables and cards, etc. This  
may result in a read or write malfunction.  
Do not apply excessive force to the disk cover.  
Do not touch the drive power/open switch.  
Cleaning  
We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses.  
(Do not use any spray of lens cleaning products.)

dows Firewall)” in the “Windows Security Center” is set to be enabled.  
If this function is set to be enabled, damage from viruses and other attacks is reduced, but  
some programs and functions cannot be operated.  
To use the program or to share files or printers:  
You can use programs or other functions without the effects of the Windows Firewall by  
registering them as an exception in the Windows Firewall settings (it is not necessary to  
disable the Windows Firewall).  
Note, however, that if a program is registered as an exception, there is a risk of damage  
from viruses or other attacks. Before registering a program as an exception, confirm the  
program’s safety with the manufacturer or other reliable source.

Is it necessary to enable the  
Windows Firewall?  
The Windows Firewall is a security function designed to protect your computer from  
unauthorized access via the Internet and other external networks.  
The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the external network,  
so that only approved data can pass through. We recommend that you use your computer  
with the Firewall enabled to minimize damage from viruses and other malicious attacks.  
When installing additional commercially available firewall software, we recommend that  
you disable the Windows Firewall settings, as the new software may interfere with the  
Windows Firewall functions.  
For details, refer to the manual accompanying the firewall software to be installed.

Images in HTML e-mail  
messages are not displayed  
in Outlook Express  
In Windows XP, there is a function that blocks image displays in HTML e-mail messages.  
To display images in HTML e-mail messages, it is necessary to access the sender’s server,  
and this may cause problems in the computer.  
Preventing these images from appearing can decrease the risk of attack from viruses etc.  
If you need to display images, select the segment where the message “Some pictures have  
been blocked…” is displayed. The images can be displayed temporarily.  
Cannot read attachment file  
in Outlook Express (cannot

The message “Your com-  
puter might be at risk” is  
displayed  
This message is displayed by the “Security Center” function in Windows XP.  
The “Security Center” is a function that monitors the level of safety in Windows security  
settings in order to operate the computer safely, for example, with regard to antivirus  
measures.  
It checks the following three items regularly, and displays messages until the settings are  
made at an appropriate level of safety.  
• Firewall: Is the Windows Firewall enabled?  
• Automatic Updates: Is the automatic Windows Update function enabled?  
• Virus Protection: Has antivirus software been installed, has the latest version of the  
antivirus software been installed, and is the real-time search function enabled (ON)?  
The message “Your computer might be at risk” is displayed by the “Security Center”  
function, and does not indicate an error or malfunction. The “Security Center” function  
checks the above three items to ensure that your computer can be used safely, and notifies  
the user if the settings are not at an appropriate level of safety.  
You can continue to use the computer even if these messages continue to be displayed, but  
we recommend that you follow the procedures below to minimize damage from viruses.

ter” is disabled or is not set. (Settings have not been made at the time of purchase.)  
“Automatic Updates” is a function that regularly checks whether high-priority update  
programs (security updates, etc.) have been provided to Windows Update, and automati-  
cally installs these programs to maintain Windows in its latest condition.

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 operational  
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 38).  
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 malfunction,  
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.  
Preparing  
You will need the Product Recovery DVD-ROM (included).  
Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function  
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices, SD memory cards, and MultiMedia Cards. Take  
care to disconnect the USB floppy disk 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 44 step 7).  
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 malfunction occurs, it will be impossible to read the data stored hard disk. 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.  
1 Display the [Local Disk(C:) properties].  
Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [start] - [My Computer], and select [Properties].  
2 Select [Check Now] from [Tools].  
3 In [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 recovery  
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.

NOTE  
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 over-  
written. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously  
in the backup area will be lost.
