NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to
45 °C {32°F to 113 °F}) “Battery Power”. Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. 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 shortened. Only use the computer
within the allowable temperature range.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the computer can be run
Getting Started
off a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging

should you inadvertently change or erase data.
Use the security function for all important data. ( “Security Measures”)
* Windows 98: This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® 98 Second Edition operating system.
Windows 2000 :This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional operating system with Ser-
vice Pack2.
Hard Disk Lock
When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the
hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also
set for the hard disk. 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 Measures”)
Saving Data on Disks
Getting Started
Do not power down your computer or press the disk drive eject button while the
disk indicator is on.
Doing so may damage the data on the disk and render the disk useless.
Use care when handling disks.
To protect the data on your disks or to prevent a disk from becoming stuck in your
computer, avoid the following:
• Sliding the shutter on the disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a disk before formatting it.
Confirm that no important data is on the disk, because all data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving
important data.
This prevents your data from
being erased or overwritten.
