returns to .

NOTE

z The touchscreen function does not work in the Setup Utility.

Operation of the touchscreen

z Operate the touchscreen with your finger or with an approved stylus

When using the touchscreen function, use only your finger or an approved stylus on the surface. Operating the touchscreen with an object other than your fingertip or the stylus (a fingernail or metal object, or other hard or sharp objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface, causing the touchscreen to malfunction.

z Do not apply too much pressure when operating the touchscreen

Only a light touch is required to operate the touchscreen. Applying too much pressure may damage the surface.

Maintaining the performance of the touchscreen

z When the touchscreen becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth

The touchscreen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be removed easily using a dry cloth. If the dirt does not come off easily, breathe on the surface and try again. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth. For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface” (Î page 10).

z Clean the touchscreen while the computer is powered off

Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the touchscreen is easier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.

z Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty

When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner (softener), or try to sterilize the cloth by boiling. If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the touchscreen, and in fact may cause dirt to adhere to the touchscreen.

Touchscreen

z Check the following to prevent the surface of the touchscreen from being scratched

z Are you using your finger or a stylus to operate the touchscreen? z Is the surface clean? z Is the soft cloth clean? z Are you using the stylus with the tip extended? z Is the tip of the stylus clean? z Is your finger clean?

Things to keep in mind when using the touchscreen

z Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area

The touchscreen input area is defined by the LCD display screen. Touching the screen outside of the display area may result malfunctions or damage to the touchscreen.

z Do not apply excessive force to the touchscreen

Do not lift the computer while holding the LCD screen, or allow the screen to be twisted. Do not place any objects on the LCD screen. Any of the above may cause the touchscreen glass to break, or may damage the LCD screen.

z Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments

The touchscreen may respond to operations more slowly when using the computer in temperatures less than 5°C, but this is not a malfunction. Response time will return to normal when the computer is returned to room temperature.

z If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touched, or if the LCD reso-

lution changes, recalibrate the touchscreen

Perform the procedure of “Touchscreen Calibration” (Î page 11).

Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface

To improve the outdoor visibility of the display, a low reflection coating has been added. In order to avoid scratches and peeling of this coating, an approved soft cloth has been included to wipe the LCD surface of the computer. Before using the computer, be sure to read the instructions provided below.

• Be sure to wipe the LCD display to remove fingerprints, etc., with the soft cloth.

• Do not wipe areas other than the LCD display with the soft cloth.

Touchscreen

• Use the soft cloth when it is dry. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.

• First, lightly wipe foreign particles and dust adhering to the LCD display on one side of the soft cloth. Do not use force,

since the LCD surface may be damaged with the foreign particles or dust. Next, wipe off fingerprint, etc., with the other side of the soft cloth. After wiping off foreign particles and dust, wash the soft cloth (refer to the following) to remove the foreign particles and dust from the soft cloth.

• When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with neutral detergent. Do not use bleach or a fabric conditioner (softener), or carry out sterilization by boiling.

• If the LCD gets wet, wipe the surface lightly with the soft cloth.

• While wiping the LCD display, the computer must be turned off.

Security Measures

Preventing Your Computer from Unauthorized Use

You can set a start-up password to protect your computer from unauthorized use.

1 Set the password (Î page 25), and select [Enabled] in [Password on Boot] in the

[Security] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page 91).

NOTE

z If the Supervisor Password or User Password has been set, the password input screen will be displayed on starting-up

of the Setup Utility even though [Password on Boot] is set to [Disabled].

Preventing Your Flash Memory Data from Being Read or Written

The flash memory lock function protects the flash memory data from being read or written when the flash memory is attached to another computer. The data can be read/written when the flash memory is returned to the original computer.

1 Select [Enabled] in [Hard Disk Lock] in the [Security] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page

91).

CAUTION

z For the data being read/written on the original computer, the Setup Utility settings must be the same as when the flash

memory was removed.

z You cannot use the flash memory lock function without setting the Supervisor Password. Set the Supervisor Password

beforehand (Î page 25).

z When you have your flash memory drive repaired

• Contact Panasonic Technical Support.

• Before sending back the flash memory drive, be sure to set the [Hard Disk Lock] to [Disabled].

NOTE

z The flash memory lock function works with the built-in flash memory. It does not work with the external hard disk. z We recommend you to set [Password on boot] to [Enabled] to ensure security though it is not required to enable the

flash memory lock. (Note that the flash memory lock does not guarantee complete protection of the data.)

Blinking green When you attach the battery cover with the battery pack already inserted:

• You can check the battery level by blinking times

Except for the operations stated above:

In high temperature mode, the battery pack is discharging the power to 80% temperature mode (Î page 30). Do not remove the battery pack since the power is not supplied even if you connect the AC adaptor in this mode. If remove the battery pack, the computer will be turned off and lose data.

In high temperature mode, the 100% battery level is equivalent to 80% level of the normal temperature mode.

The battery cover is open. You can remove the battery pack in this case.

When blinking approx. every 0.5 second:

The battery cover is open. If you remove the battery pack in this case, the power supply is cut off and the computer is shut down. Do not remove the battery pack because this may cause data to be lost and the computer to malfunction.

Blinking orange The battery cannot be charged temporarily due to the following reasons:

• Its internal temperature is out of the acceptable range.

• The power supply is not enough because software applications or peripheral devices are consuming a large amount of power.

NOTE

z Once the battery is fully charged, the computer performs recharging only when the battery level becomes less than

approximately 95%, so overcharging is avoided.

The temperature is low and the computer is warming up to prevent the flash memory drive from malfunctioning. The computer will start automatically after warming-up.

Battery Power

High temperature mode

The high temperature mode can prevent the battery from deteriorating when the computer is used in high-temperature environment or used for a long time with its battery fully charged. Select [Auto] (default) or [High Temperature] in [Environment] of the [Main] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page 88).

NOTE

z Note that a level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature mode is approximately equivalent to an 80%

charge level for normal temperature mode.

z After switching from [Normal Temperature] to [High Temperature] or vice versa, the remaining battery capacity will not

be displayed correctly until the battery pack is completely discharged or fully charged.

z In the [Auto] mode:

Once the computer has automatically switched from the normal temperature mode to the high temperature mode, the computer will not switch back to the normal temperature mode until the battery has been used and recharged to a total charge level of about 5 times as much as that of the fully-charged state. This is to avoid battery deterioration. In [Auto] mode, mode switching is possible only for the battery pack in operation. The other battery’s [Environment] mode remains the same.
