• When [Touch Pad] is set to [Disable] in the Setup Utility

• When [Touch Pad] is set to [Auto] in the Setup Utility and a mouse is connected to

the keyboard/mouse port of the port replicator

(At the time of purchase, [Touch Pad] is set to [Enable].) Do not place any object on the work surface or press down forcefully with sharppointed objects (e.g., nails), hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens). Do not allow things that could dirty the touch pad, such as oil. The cursor may not work properly in such cases. When the touch pad becomes dirty: Wipe to remove dirty areas by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung. Do not use benzene or thinner, or disinfectant-type alcohol.

Touchscreen

Your computer is equipped with a touchscreen function allowing you to perform the same operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the stylus (included). (The following explanation gives one example (for the default settings).

Windows 2000

The operation settings can be changed in [Start] - [Programs] - [UPDD] - [Settings].

CAUTION

The touchscreen function can not be used when using the full screen in [Command Prompt]. When the operation of panning (only LCD) is performed while the screen resolution is set to [1024 x 768 dots] or more, the touchscreen function will not work properly . If a change is made to the screen resolution, or the cursor can not be pointed correctly with the stylus, be sure to perform [Calibration]. ( page 11)

Handling the T ouchscreen

Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails), or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens). Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow substances, such as oil to contact the LCD. The cursor may not work properly in such cases. When the touchscreen becomes dirty: Wipe to remove dirty areas by using a dry soft cloth (included). Do not use benzene or thinner, or disinfectant-type alcohol. (For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface” that comes with the soft cloth.)

Handling the Stylus

Clean the stylus tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the screen and impede the operation of the stylus. Use the accessory stylus only on the wireless display screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the stylus and scratch the screen. Do not use pencils, implements with sharp tips or hard objects for screen operations. The screen may be damaged as a result. Since the stylus is retractable tip, be sure to use the stylus only after the stylus tip is ready for use (i.e., clicked open). Otherwise, scratches may result on the screen.

Panasonic Hand Writing

Simple characters and figures like signatures and arrows can be made by using the work surface of the touch pad or the touchscreen, and can be saved to a file as a bitmap (.bmp) format.

Any change to the size of an image must be made before beginning to draw. If the image size is changed after the drawing is completed, the image (quality) will not be sharp. Data can be copied to the clipboard with [Edit] - [Copy]. Copied data can be added to other applications that support the bitmap format by using the paste function. Pasting is not possible to applications that do not support the bitmap format. The file size of a bitmap image to be saved or pasted to another application can be changed with [Option] - [Window size]. Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the Panasonic Hand Writing screen. If the screen is affected, click on the taskbar with the right mouse button, close the application by selecting [Exit Panasonic Hand Writing], and then run Panasonic Hand Writing again. Drawing accuracy may be degraded if another application, such as disk accessing, is being executed simultaneously . Begin drawing only after other applications have been closed.

After the display has been rotated, if the Fast User Switching Function is used, or if the computer enters the standby or hibernation mode and then resumes, the screen for selecting the user will remain in its rotated position. Do not exit Windows in this condition, because the next time the computer is started up, the screen angle will not match the operations of the touch pad or the touchscreen. If this happens, operations will return to normal after you have logged onto Windows by using the keyboard.

Standby/Hibernation Functions

Starting Up Y our Computer Quickly

If you want to immediately start up and continue an application after shutting down your computer, you can do so by using either the standby or hibernation function.

Differences between the standby and hibernation functions

Standby function Memory

Fast Yes (if power is cut, all data

is lost)

NOTE

If the computer will not be operated for an extended period of time, it is recommended that hibernation mode be used instead of the standby mode. If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down Windows on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the standby or hibernation function.

Entering the Standby or Hibernation Mode

Use any of the following methods to enter the standby or hibernation mode. To use the hibernation mode, make the setting below in advance. (Enabled in factory preset.)

Fn key combinations ( page 3) Using the power switch ( page 18) From the shut down screen:

• Standby

Windows 2000 : In [Start] - [Shut Down], select [Stand by]. Windows XP : In [Start] - [Turn Off Computer], select [Stand By].

• Hibernation

Windows 2000 : In [Start] - [Shut Down], select [Hibernate]. Windows XP : In [Start] - [Turn Off Computer], press and hold Shift , then

select [Hibernate].

Standby/Hibernation Functions

Precautions

Before entering the standby or hibernation mode

Save all data. When a file in an external device such as a CD drive, external hard disk, or ATA card is opened, close the file. Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode. If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the Windows password as follows:

Windows 2000

Set the password in [Control Panel] - [Users and Passwords], then add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer goes off standby] in [Control Panel]

- [Power Options] - [Advanced].

Windows XP

Select the account to change in [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the password, then add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced]. Do not enter either the standby or hibernation mode under the following conditions. You may corrupt your data or file, the standby or hibernation function may not work, or the computer (or peripherals) may fail to work properly.

• When the floppy disk drive being accessed or hard disk drive indicator ( ) is on.

• When playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as MPEG files).

• When using communications software or the network function.

• When using LAN cards (port), SCSI cards and modem cards (port) etc. (If these cards fail to work properly, restart the computer.)

When entering the standby or hibernation mode*

Avoid the following:

•T ouching the keyboard, pointing device (touch pad, touchscreen, external mouse, etc.), or power switch.

• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• Closing or opening the display.

* Standby mode: until the power indicator blinks green

Hibernation mode: until the power indicator goes off

In standby or hibernation mode

Do not insert or remove peripherals; abnormal operation may result. In standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby is lost since it is retained in memory . We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor when using the standby function.
