FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STA TEMENT
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult with your nearest Panasonic Service Center or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning
To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use only
shielded interfacing cables when connecting to a computer
or peripheral. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user's authority to
operate.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Warning
This apparatus must be earthed for your safety.
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core
and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly
wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not
imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation
is completely safe.
For your safety, if you have any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains
plug for your safety and convenience.
A 3 amp fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the
replacement fuse has a rating of 3 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362.
Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the
body of the fuse.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
The mains plug on this equipment must be used to disconnect the mains power.
Please ensure that the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
How to replace the fuse
Open the fuse compartment with a
screwdriver and replace the fuse.
Warnings
This equipment is not designed for connection to an IT
power system,.
(An IT System is a system having no direct connection
between live parts and Earth, the exposed-conducive-parts
of the electrical installation being earthed.
The IT System is not permitted where directly connected
to public supply systems in the U.K.)
Disconnect the mains plug from the supply socket when
not in use.
This equipment is produced to BS800/1983.
Lithium Battery
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure
that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local
Panasonic Dealer.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR
THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE
FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF
AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP
SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code
shown below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
Warning: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Important
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green-and-yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured making identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-and-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol , coloured GREEN
or GREEN-and YELLOW.

Precautions
Installation Locations
Avoid Extreme Heat and Cold
Do not store or use the computer in locations
exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme
cold.
Avoid moving the computer between locations
with large temperature differences.
Operation: 5 oC to 35 oC (41 oF to 95 oF)
Storage: -20 oC to 60 oC (-4 oF to 140 oF)
Avoid Direct Sunlight on the LCD Panel
The LCD panel should not be exposed to direct
sunlight or ultraviolet light.
Avoid Humidity Liquids and Dust
Do not store or use the computer in locations
exposed to high humidity, liquids (including
rain) or dust.
Prevent Shock
Do not subject the computer to severe
vibrations or impact. Do not place the computer
inside a car trunk.
Avoid Radio Frequency Interference
Do not place the computer near a television or
radio receiver.
Carry the Computer Properly
Do not carry the computer without first turning off the
power.
Do not hold the computer by the LCD panel or the keyboard panel if the panel is open.
Do not move the computer while a floppy disk is inserted.
Ventilation
Ventilation Holes are provided in the
computer to prevent overheating.
These holes must not be blocked or
covered.
Maintenance
Surface of the LCD Panel
Soak a piece of gauze or soft cloth sufficiently in isopropyl
alcohol only, and wipe the panel gently. Using excessive
force may scratch the panel. Avoid wiping with a dry cloth,
since this can damage the surface of the polarizing plate.
Also, be sure not to use water and perfumes, as these liquids can dissolve the coloration of the polarizing plate.
Ventilation
Holes
Handling
Avoid Magnetic Fields
Keep the computer away from magnets.
Avoid Stacking
Do not place heavy objects on top of the
computer.
Keep Small Object Away
Do not insert paper clips or other small objects
into the computer.
Do Not Disassemble the Computer
Do not attempt to disassemble your compuer.
Avoid Excessive Force to the LCD Panal
Do not apply excessive downward force on the display when
it is completely opened, especially when plugs and/or cables
are connected to the rear of the computer.
Areas other than the Display
Gently wipe other areas using a soft cloth pre-soaked in
water or a neutral cleaner and wrung out thoroughly. Do
not use solvents like benzine and thinner, nor chemical
cloths.
Handling the AC Adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing
so may damage the connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor (Factory Control Num-
ber: CF-AA159) with your computer. Using an AC adaptor
other than the one supplied might harm the battery and the
computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, dis-
connect the AC cord from your AC wall outlet as well. If
the cord is kept connected, a very low level of power equivalent to approximately 1.5 watt will be consumed.
Against Computer Viruses
Anti-virus software is not supplied. However, you should
obtain such software if you plan to transfer files actively or
to use the Internet.
Cables
Use of an interface cable longer than 3 m (118.11 inches)
is not recommended.
