For instructions on the features, setup and operation of the CF19 computer, refer to the manuals
supplied by Panasonic with the computer.
No adjustments of the electrical components within the electrical enclosure are required. Opening
the enclosure (except to install the Power Cable) will break a seal and void the product warranty.
Conducting a "bench test", (the assembly, interconnection and start-up of all components:
Computer, Docking Station and any customer supplied equipment: printers, modems, scanners, etc.)
is strongly advised to verify all electronic and software issues are resolved.
Suggested flow of work is to:
1. Install and verify the computer is operational.
2. Add customer supplied equipment (printers, modems, scanner etc.)
If installing inside a vehicle, positioning of all mounts and equipment in the vehicle before the actual
install is also recommended to verify that mounting locations are practical.
Drivers: If needed, the software driver for this product can be downloaded from Panasonic's Support

ReLocating Computer Carrying Strap
The CF19 computer is supplied, from Panasonic, with a carrying strap attached to the back
edge of the computer case.
The computer can be installed into the dock with the strap attached to the back or front edge,
but the strap will need to be unhooked when installed on the front of the comptuer, allowing
each end of the strap to hang down over the sides of the dock.
If the strap is not unhooked it will interfere with the docks' latching mechanism.
Important:
If the strap is relocated to the front or side edges, position the strap ends as shown .
The rings on the ends of the straps must be positioned away from the front retainers.
If the rings are incorrectly attached and touch the front retainers, the computer will not dock
properly.
