earthed through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core
and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly
wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is
completely safe.
For your safety, if you have any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULL Y
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug

Precautions (Battery Pack)
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage.
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.
Getting Started
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 a car 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. 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.
Stop Using
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 and
stop using it.
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 adaptor 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 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (
“Battery Power”) 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 {50 °F} or less.)
If the temperature is low , the operating time is shortened.
Only use the computer within the allowable temperature
range.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of
time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack
becomes dramatically shorter and repeated recharging
does not restore its performance, the battery pack should
be replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic
bag so that its contacts are protected.
Always power off the computer when it is not in use.
Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not
connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.
6
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.
Saving Data on the Hard Disk
Do not expose your computer to shock.
Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software applications and data unusable.
Do not power off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator () is on.
Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems.
Save all valuable data to disks.
Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you inadvertently change or erase data.
Use the security function for all important data. ( “Security Measures” and “SD Memory Card/
MultiMedia Card”)

Hard Disk Lock
When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the hard
disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the hard disk is
returned to the original computer, you can read/write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the
Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock
does not guarantee the complete protection of data.
When Using Peripheral Devices
Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc.
Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for
the peripheral devices being used.
Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.
Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors.
If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condition
and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) .
If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.
Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.

This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, etc.,
but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be
extremely careful in the handling.
Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display or the
cabinet around the display (see figure A). When closing the display, ensure that the latch is
positioned correctly in the slot (
Do not carry your computer when the power is on. Lay the carrying cloth that comes with
the computer across the keyboard (see figure B), and close the display gently.
When closing the display, take care to ensure that the carrying cloth does not get caught in
the Panel Switch, and check that the latch on the computer body (page 10) is properly aligned.
Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.
Remove all external devices, cables, PC Cards sticking out of the computer (see figure C),
SD memory cards, and MultiMedia Cards before transporting the computer.
We recommend preparing a fully charged battery pack.
When transporting a spare battery pack inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended
that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
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.
It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you.
