FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO 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.

MEMO
All of the status LCD indicators flash once when the computer is turned on. If the battery temperature rises significantly due to a large discharge caused by a large load (overload), a beep sounds and the letters " " flash on and off. Continuing to use the computer in this state can render the battery unusable and result in a shutdown. To prevent this from happening, connect the AC adaptor, and reduce the load on the battery by turning off the power to the PD/CD drive, or other devices.
