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 the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface
cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral. Also, any
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

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 35 °C (32°F to 95
°F)). To allow the battery to charge, adjustments have
to be made to the temperature. Once the allowable
range requirement 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. Therefore, please use the computer within the
allowable temperature range.
Although the battery has not begun to run out, the battery indicator may light up red or emit a beep. This
indicates a significant rise in the temperature of the
battery pack. This is 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 powersaving 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).
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.
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.
Do Not Put into a Microwave
Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or
a pressurized chamber.
A void Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight
Keep Articles Away
Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
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 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 the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30% to 50% 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.
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 unit or charger
and discontinue use.
Do Not Use With 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.
Battery Pack Usage
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 power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the
FDD indicator ( ) is on.
Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the disk useless.
Use care when handling floppy disks.
To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in
your computer, avoid the following:
• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.
Confirm that no important data is on the disk, because all data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your
data from being erased or overwritten.

Do not expose your computer to shock.
Please use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make
your software applications and data unusable.
Do not power down your computer while software applications are running or HDD
indicator ( ) is on.
Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems ([Start]-[Shut Down] ).
Save all valuable data to floppy disks.

Handling the AC adapter
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the

Use only the specified AC adapter with your computer. Using an AC adapter
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet well.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops/surges may arise during periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) is highly recommended.
Be sure the AC adapter is connected until completing Step 8 on page 10.
