information on how to recycle this
battery.
L’appareil que vous vous êtes
procuré est alimenté par une batterie
au lithium-ion.
Pour des renseignements sur le recyclage de la batterie, veuillez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY.
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
become 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
recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:
75%) of capacity.
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 possible.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during
recharging or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal tempera-
ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131
°F}). ( Reference Manual “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 below.)
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 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.
When transporting a spare battery inside a pack-
age, 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.

5 Power-On Self Test (Boot Check)
Outline of POST
The set has a boot check function called POST (Power-On Self Test) in it. The condition of the main body is diagnosed by checking
beep sound or error code.
z Start .............Test begins automatically when power switch is set to ON.
z Normal finish .....After memory checking, a beep sound is issued once and the set is placed into automatic stop.
Note: If no error occurs, nothing is displayed. (No display of OK, etc.)
Error Diagnosis by Checking Beep Signal Sound
The beep sound is as follows:
(Length of bar shows length of sound.)
(1 (long sound) -2-3-4)
= long sound (about 0.4 sec.),

6 List of Error Codes <Only when the port replicator is connected>
The following is a list of the messages that BIOS can display. Most of them occur during
POST. Some of them display information about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory
installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured.
Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for reported problems.
If your system displays one of except the messages marked below with an asterisk (*), write
down the message and contact Panasonic Technical Support. If your system fails after you
make changes in the Setup menus, reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults
or correct the error.
