Precautions
Peripherals
Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease
in performance, an increase in temperature and/or damage
your computer. For more information on peripheral devices,
please refer to the Reference Manual.
CAUTION
The charging terminal of the
battery pack is used with the
battery charger, which is sold
separately.
Never connect anything to the charging terminal other than
the exclusive adapter that is supplied with the battery charger.
Doing so could damage the device connected to the battery
pack, the cable, and the battery pack itself. It could also
result in overheating or bursting.
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of liquid leakage, overheating, or bursting.
Avoid Heat
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or
expose it to excessive heat.
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Disassemble
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble, or modify it.
Do Not Short
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)
contacts.
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight
Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for
extended periods where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on
a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place.
Do Not Use With Any Other Computer
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified computer or charger . Do
not use it with a computer other than the one for
which it was designed.
Do Not Put into a Microwave
Do not put the battery pack into a microwave
oven or a pressurized chamber.
Charging Terminal
Discontinue Use
Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become hot to the touch, become discolored,
change shape, or become in any way different
from normal, remove it from the computer or
charger and discontinue use.
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% 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 adapter 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 outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 45 °C (32°F to 113 °F))
"Battery Power". Once the allowable range re-
quirement 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 (48 °F) or less.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only
use the computer within the allowable temperature range.
Although the battery has remaining capacity, the battery
indicator may light up red or emit a beep. This indicates a
significant rise in the temperature (60 °C (140 °F) or more)
of the battery pack
typically caused by the fact that the battery pack has been
delivering a high level of power because the computer has
been used with the display at the brightest setting and with
the power-saving function off.
To protect the battery pack from increases in temperature,
the brightness of the display automatically decreases, allowing the temperature of the battery to drop. In this condition, if the computer is left as is, it will automatically go
off after about three minutes have elapsed. Within that
period, therefore, be sure to connect the AC adapter or
shut the computer OFF after saving any open data (if necessary).

Maintenance
This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, the
leakage of liquid (e.g., water) from the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is provided against
such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, please be extremely careful in the handling.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
It is a good idea to make backup copies on floppy disks and carry them with you.
Do not leave a floppy disk in the drive while transporting your computer.
Do not carry your computer when it is ON.
Remove all cables before transporting your computer. Having the optional port replicator is
very convenient.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery (and optional charger, if possible).
When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that
the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.
Do not place the computer upright. When the computer receives shock after falling, the hard
disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable.
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display.
Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard.
Always carry your computer with you. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on this
issue.

List of Error Codes
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.

the error persists, check the system battery or contact Panasonic Technical Support.
0260 System timer error
The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.
0270 Real time clock error

Tr o ubleshooting
0280* Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used
Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to run Setup. If the failure was caused by
incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states , improper Setup
settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup and verify that the wait-state configuration is
correct. This error is cleared the next time the system is booted.
