When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device

When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, completely erase all data on the hard disk in order
to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Win­dows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data
erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use the hard disk data erase utility (included) ( page 6). (Note that this
hard disk data erase utility does not guarantee that data will be completely erased.)
Also note that transferring ownership of this device without deleting software from the hard disk may
violate software user’s licenses.

Replace as follows in step 1.

Product Recovery CD-ROM

Windows XPWindows 2000

Ignore step 7.

Replace “Recovery Console” of “Information for Windows XP” for the following.

Recovery Console

If you install the Recovery Console, you can use the command prompt to execute opera­tions such as CHKDSK in cases where, for example, Windows XP will not start. Use the
following procedure to install Recovery Console. This procedure allows you to select
Recovery Console as a startup option during startup.

1 Select [Start] - [Run].
2 Input [c:\windows\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons], then select [OK].

Follow the on-screen instructions.

For an overview of Recovery Console, refer to [Help and Support].

1 Select [Start] - [Help and Support].
2 Enter “Recovery Console” under [Search], then select

.

Starting Up/Shutting Down “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (page 14)”

Add the following to “CAUTION” in step 2.

CAUTION

When using this computer with the battery pack only, it may take some time for the
power to turn on after sliding the power switch. In this case, slide the power switch
and hold it for more than one second. This phenomenon occurs because the standby
power is minimized while the power is turned off; it is not a malfunction.

Add the following after the operation of each operating system in step 8.

Windows 2000

If the cursor cannot be directed correctly with the stylus, perform [Calibrate] in [Start] ­[Programs] - [UPDD].

Windows XP

If the cursor cannot be directed correctly with the stylus, perform [Calibrate] in [Start] ­[All Programs] - [UPDD].

Dealing with Problems (Summary) “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (page 22-23)”

Replace as follows.

When there is no display to an external display,

• Check your cable connection to the external display.

• Confirm your display is powered on.

• Check the settings for your external display.

Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .

When displaying only through an external display, if the computer is shut down by using
the standby or hibernation function, there may be no display on the LCD unless the
external display is connected when operations are resumed. In this case, connect the

external display or press Fn + F3 .

Has the computer been set to the power-saving mode?

To resume operation of your computer from the condition the power of the display is off

(for energy conservation purposes), slide any key unrelated to the direct triggering of a

selection, like Shift .

To save power, your computer may have automatically entered the standby or hiberna­tion mode. (

“Computing On the Road”) Slide the power switch.

Did you repeatedly and continuously press Fn + F3 ?
Before holding down Fn + F3 continuously, make sure the active display has been

completely switched.

Restart the computer by using the keyboard (e.g., ).
Be sure to use the Display Rotation Tool to rotate the display.
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. If you exit Windows in this condition, then
the next time the computer is started up, the screen angle will not match the operations of
the touch pad or the touchscreen. In this case, operations will return to normal after you
have logged onto Windows by using the keyboard.

When the Microsoft® IntelliMouse™ Wheel mode or the original mode is set for the touch
pad, only scroll operations are possible for the right part or bottom part of the touch pad. In
this case, cursor operations are possible by using the work surface excluding the right part or
bottom part. When no mode is set, the entire surface of the touch pad can be used for cursor
operations.

If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This
is not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.
High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either
fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function­ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.

When an external display is used that is incompatible with the power saving modes of the
computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power sav­ing mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.

Changing the number of colors and refresh rate of the display may affect the screen. Restart
the computer.

After the display destination of the screen is switched with Fn + F3 , the resolution or

number of colors of the display may change. Set the display again.

Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .

If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display in the following menu.

Hard Disk Data Erase Utility

Add “Hard Disk Data Erase Utility” as follows.

This computer is equipped with a utility for completely erasing hard disk data.
When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, erase all data on the hard disk in order to prevent the theft of hard disk
data following the steps below.

The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an “overwriting” method, but there is a possibility that due to malfunctions or
other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that may be able to read data
that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confidential data, we recommend that you contact a
company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for losses or
damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.

NOTE

Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until the procedure is completed.
This utility can only be used for internal hard disk. It cannot be used to erase data from the second hard disk or external hard
disks.
This utility cannot erase data from damaged disk.
This utility cannot erase data for specific partitions.
After executing this utility, the computer cannot be booted from the hard disk.
