Panasonic Hand Writing (Touch Pad)
Drawing Characters or Figures
Simple characters and figures like signatures and arrows can be made by using the
work surface of the touch pad, and can be saved to a file as a bitmap (.bmp) format.
Positions on the work surface of the touch pad have corresponding positions in the
Panasonic Hand Writing window . For example, a character or figure made in the top-left
part of the work surface of the touch pad will be displayed in the top-left part of the
Panasonic Hand Writing window.
CAUTION
To draw, an object with a rounded tip (e.g., a pen for tablets) can be used.
Do not use any of the following objects, as they may damage the work surface.
• Objects with an extremely sharp tip, like screwdrivers and nails.
• Objects that leave marks, like ball-point pens.
In the Hand Writing mode, an external mouse or trackball connected to the external keyboard/mouse port will not operate. Therefore, before switching over to the
Hand Writing mode, remove the external device that is connected. If a switch is
made to the Hand Writing mode without disconnecting the external device and
the external device stops working, reconnect the device after quitting the Hand
Writing mode. If the device still does not work, try restarting the computer.
If a commercially-available pointing device (e.g., mouse) driver is installed and overwrites the driver of the touch pad, Panasonic Hand Writing will no longer work.

Shutting Down Using the Suspend or Hibernation Function
The computer should be set for suspend or hibernation ( see the above procedure).
Press the sleep switch; at the "beep*" sound, release your finger.
(After releasing your finger from the
sleep switch, do not touch the sleep
switch or the power switch while the
computer is in the suspend or hibernation modes.)
CAUTION
At the "beep*" sound, release your finger from the sleep switch. If you continue to press down on the switch and hold it for more than four seconds, the
"beep*" sound will come out again and the power will go off. Data not previously saved will be lost.
Slide the power switch to power on. The power will not go on by pressing the
sleep switch.
Even when [Sleep Switch] is set to [No Action] with the Setup Utility, if the
sleep switch is pressed, a beep will sound and the power will go off if the
switch is pressed for more than four seconds.
If the computer will not be operated for an extended period of time, it is recommended that hibernation mode be used instead of the suspend mode.
* When the speaker function is disabled, e.g., by setting [Disable] for [Speaker] with the
Setup Utility ( page 39) or by the key combination Fn + F4 , there will be no beep
sound.

If the security indicator ( ) is displayed, your password has been set.
CAUTION
After the display returns, the computer needs a short period of time to reinitialize.
This takes about 15 seconds. Do not shut down or restart Windows, or use the
suspend or hibernation functions again during this time, as this may subsequently cause Windows to operate abnormally.
Do not install or remove peripherals while your computer is in the suspend or
hibernation mode; abnormal operation may result.
When operation resumes, serial devices such as a mouse, modem or PC Cards
may not function properly. In such cases, you will need to restart your computer or reinitialize the individual devices.
Suspend/Hibernation Functions
Precautions for Using the Suspend or Hibernation Function
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do not
touch the touch pad (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected).
These devices may fail to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using
the keyboard.
Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):
• While the MP indicator ( ) or HDD indicator ( ) is on.
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an operating system
other than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experiencing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the Alt , Ctrl or Shift key to enter the suspend or hibernation
mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example, if you hold
down on the key while pushing the sleep switch, upon resuming, if you do not
press the key again, only capital letters will result from typing.
Only when the computer stops operating or locks up should the sleep switch be held
more than four seconds to power off the computer. Slide the power switch to power
on and data not previously saved will be lost.
In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards (e.g., a modem card) are
inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all
data at suspend is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend
plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.
Repeatedly using the suspend or hibernation function will use up a lot of the system
resources and the computer may not work properly. Shut down Windows ([Start][Shut Down]) on a regular basis, i.e.approximately once a week, without using the
suspend or hibernation function. Doing so will restore the system resources.
If you are using a PC card, note that some cards may cease to function if the suspend
or hibernation function is used several times. When this occurs, immediately shut
down Windows without using the suspend or hibernation function.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function during the following periods. The
suspend or hibernation function, or peripherals may not work.
• When a file in external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, or ATA
card is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In such cases,
close the file.
• LAN cards, SCSI cards and modem cards etc. may not recover after entering the
suspend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
When inserting one more CardBus type card with one already inserted, after entering the suspend or hibernation mode, the computer may not function properly.
After a Windows 95 USB device driver has been installed, do not use the suspend or
hibernation function. If the suspend or hibernation mode is activated, the computer
may not function properly. Power off, then on, using the power switch to resume
proper operation.
If you want to use the suspend or hibernation function after the USB driver is installed,
disable the USB device function of the computer by following the procedure below.
1 In [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] - [Device Manager], select [Intel
82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller] in [Universal serial bus controller].
2 Add the check mark for [Disable in this hardware profile] in [Properties] - [Gen-
eral], press [OK], and then press [Close].
3 In [Start] - [Shut Down], select [Restart], then press [OK].
If you want to enable the USB device function again, delete the check mark for [Disable in this hardware profile] in step 2. When the message appears asking whether
to reboot the computer, select [Yes]. If the message is not displayed, go to step 3.

Computing On The Road
Conserving Power
One of the main features of notebook-type computers is that you have the power of
computing away from your home or office. In the following, information is provided on
how to maximize use of the battery pack which is necessary for such computing.
Four Important Points
15
POINT 1
POINT
POINT 3
POINT 4
Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.
2
To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power management mode.
Check to see that you have your AC adapter with you before
leaving your home or office.
Purchasing a spare battery (CF-VZSU09) and the optional battery charger (CF-VCB251A) is highly recommended.
Always watch your battery level!
Things to Remember
Leave your computer off when it is not in use
( "Starting Up/Shutting Down")
Adjust the brightness (dark) with
By repeatedly pressing the keys to maximize the brightness ( will be displayed), following this, if the keys are pressed again, the brightness will be mini-
mized, thereby lowering the power consumption.
Fn + F2
Before stepping away from your computer, press Fn + F10
to put your computer in the ECO mode
The ECO mode helps you conserve power by cutting off power to the LCD and
turning off the hard disk motor. To resume, you may press any key.
Setting the suspend/hibernation timeout ( page 16)
The suspend or hibernation function ( page 6) allows you to save power by
automatically cutting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access
to individual devices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Enable (Always)] is selected for
[Power Management], the suspend/hibernation timeout function will go into effect for both the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however , [Enable (Battery)]
is selected for [Power Management], it will go into effect only during operation
by the battery. The ECO mode timeout function is automatically set when [Enable] is set. Note that the ECO mode timeout precedes the suspend/hibernation timeout.
It should be noted that for some applications, the suspend/hibernation timeout
will not work properly.
Setting the Intel® SpeedStep™ technology ( page 18)
You can control power consumption by setting CPU performance separately for
“AC adapter connected” and “AC adapter disconnected (i.e., running on batteries).”
Computing On The Road
NOTE
It is necessary to check [Allow W indows to manage power use on this computer] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power].
If the check is removed, the time may not be displayed properly when operation is
resumed from the suspend or hibernation mode or the operating time with the
battery pack may become short (the power management function of Windows
