Getting Started

may result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack,
Expose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Mod­ify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture
may result.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Con­tacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not
place the battery pack together with articles such as neck­laces or hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Product with a Battery Pack Other
Than the One Specified

Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZSU37U) with
your CF-T5. Use of battery packs other than those manu­factured and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety
hazard (generation of heat, ignition or rupture).

z Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The

battery pack may no longer function properly if the
contacts are dirty or damaged.

z Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to

become wet.

z 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.

z This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by

recharging only when the remaining power is less than
approx. 95% (when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled:
75%) of capacity.

z 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.

z 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

z The battery pack may become warm during

recharging or normal use. This is completely nor­mal.

z Recharging will not commence if internal tempera-

ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable
temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C). (Î Refer-

ence Manual “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 or below.)

z If the temperature is low, the operating time is

shortened. Only use the computer within the allow­able temperature range.

z The battery pack is a consumable item. If the

amount of time the computer can be run by using 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.

z When transporting a spare battery inside a pack-

age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be
placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro­tected.

z 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.

Hard Disk Backup Function (Recover Pro)

The Recover Pro creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk to back up (store) the hard disk data, and
restores the backup data to its original location when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors.
You do not need external media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.
At purchase, the Recover Pro is not installed. Install using the instructions below.

The Recover Pro cannot back up or restore data correctly if a hard disk problem occurs during data backup or restoring.
If an error occurs due to an unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason while data is being
restored, the hard disk data (data before restoration) may be lost.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damage suffered (including loss of data) as a
result of the use of this function.

The Recover Pro provides 3 types of backup as follows:

z Quick Backup: Scheduled backup of the updated data
z File Backup: File backup at file save and change
z Complete Backup: Backup of the entire data on the internal hard disk

Here, we will explain the procedures for installation, complete backup (backing up hard disk contents in case Windows
cannot be booted), and complete restore (recovering the
backup).
For further information, refer to the software’s online manual (Î page 22).

CAUTION

z All operations should be executed with the AC adaptor connected. Do not turn the power off while operations are in

progress. If the power is turned off while installation, backup, or restore operations are in progress, these operations
may not function properly, and it may be impossible to start Windows. Also, do not press any keys or slide any
switches, including hot keys.

z When restarting the computer, the message “Check file system on C:” will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Do not skip the check process.

z Make sure you allow enough space on the hard disk when choosing settings during installation. To change these

settings you must reinstall Recover Pro.
To execute Complete Backup reliably, we recommend performing [Typical] installation in the following cases.

• Hard

• Immediately after reinstalling software (when more than half of the entire space of the hard disk is available)

z Be sure to use the internal hard disk drive to create the backup area. Never use disk or device other than the internal

hard disk drive.

z Some software (security software, backup software, encryption software, or hard disk accessible specific software,

etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.
For further information, refer to:

http://www.phoenix.com/en/Customer+Services/White+Papers-Specs/Recover+Pro/default.htm

z When using Personal Secure Drive (Î Installation Manual of "Trusted Platform Module (TPM)"), do not execute

File Backup for Personal Secure Drive.

z The “Create recovery CD-DVD” function in Recover Pro is designed to help you save complete backup data to CD or

DVD. When using the “Create recovery CD-DVD”, you can view the complete backup data on the hard disk, but take
care to avoid accidentally deleting this data.

Hard Disk Data Erase Utility

When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage.
Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with some
special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.
Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s
license agreement.

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.

Troubleshooting

6 When all the hardware has been checked, confirm the diagnostic check results.

If the display is red and the message “Check Result TEST FAILED” is displayed, you can assume that there is a
problem with the computer’s hardware. Confirm which hardware component is displayed as red, and contact your
technical support office.
If the display is green and the message “Check Result TEST PASSED” is displayed, the computer’s hardware is
operating normally. Continue using the computer as it is. If the computer still does not operate properly, reinstall
the software. (Î page 24)

NOTE

z If you run a memory diagnostic check after installing a new RAM module (sold separately) and the message “Check

Result TEST FAILED” is displayed:
Remove the additional RAM module and run the diagnostic check again. If the message “Check Result TEST
