Handling the Touch Pad
z By design the touch pad is to be used with a finger tip only. Do not place any object on the
work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails) or hard
objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
z Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch
pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
z When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a so ft cloth first applied with
detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the
surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household
cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
Touchscreen
Only for models with touchscreen
Your computer is equipped with a touchscreen function allowing you to perform the same
operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the stylus
(included). If the cursor cannot be pointed correctly with the stylus, perform [Calibration].
(Î page 19)
The following explanation gives one example (for the default settings).
The operation settings can be changed. (Î page 19)

CAUTION
z When the internal LCD is used alone or with an external display simultaneously, the
touchscreen function will not work properly when the area of either display is set
larger than default setti ng of the display resolution.
z If a change is made to the display resolution , or the cursor cannot be pointed correctly
with the stylus, be sure to perform [Calibration]. (Î page 19)
z When mouse drivers are installed (e.g., IntelliMouse), the touchscreen function may
not be used.
z When you want to uninstall or reinstall the to uchscreen (t ouch pad) driv er, refer to the
"Touch Pad (Advanced)". (Î page 13)
z Even when only an external display is in use, the cursor will move on the external
display if the surface of the internal LCD is touched when the touchscreen driver is
active. Therefore, do not touch the internal LCD when only an external display is in
use.
z The touchscreen function cannot be used in the Setup Utility or when using the full
screen in [Command Prompt].
NOTE
z Select on the desktop to view [Important Tips] for using the touchscreen.
You can also view [Important Tips] using the following procedures.

Handling the Touchscreen
z Use the stylus included with the computer. Do not use pencils, implements with sharp tips
or hard objects for screen operations.
z Do not place any object on the surf ace or press down f orcefully wit h sharp-pointed objects
(e.g., nails), or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
z Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow
contact with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil.
z When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
• Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth included with the computer.
• Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol.
• For more information, refer to "Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface" that
comes with the soft cloth.
Handling the Stylus
z Clean the stylus tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the screen
and impede the operation of the stylus.
z Use the stylus only for the computer screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage
the stylus and scratch the screen.
20
Panasonic Hand Writing
Simple characters and figures like signatures and arrows can be made by using the work
surface of the touch pad or the touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen), and can be
saved to a file as a bitmap (.bmp) format.
z Any change to the size of an image must be made before beginning to draw. If the image
size is changed after the drawing is completed, the image (quality) will no t be sharp.
z Data can be copied to the clipboard with [Edit] - [Copy]. Copied data can be added to
other applications that support the bitmap format b y using the paste function.
z The file size of a bitmap image to be saved or pasted to another application can be
changed with [Option] - [Window size].
z Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the Panasonic Hand Writing
screen. If the screen is affected, right-click on the taskbar with the right mouse button,
close the application by selecting [Exit Panasonic Hand Writing], and then run Panasonic
Hand Writing again.
z Drawing accuracy may be degraded if another application, such as disk accessing, is
being ex ecuted simultaneously. Begin drawing only after other applications have been
closed.
NOTE
z If a commercially-available pointing device (e.g., mouse) driver is installed and
overwrites the drive r of the touch pad, Panasonic Hand Writing will no longer work.

In hibernation mode, power is not required to maintain data. However, power is consumed.
NOTE
z We recommend plugging in the AC adaptor if the standby function is to be used for a
long period of time. If the AC adaptor cannot be connected, we recommend that
hibernation mode be used instead of standby mode in order to maintain data.
z If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work
properly. To stabilize computer operations, shut down Windows on a regular basis
(about once a week) without using the standby or hibernation function.
Entering the Standby or Hibernation Mode
Use any of the following methods to enter the standby or hibernation mode.
To use the hibernation mode, set [Power Options] in advance (Î page 24).
(Enabled in factory preset.)

Precautions
Before entering the standby or hibernation mode
z Be sure to save all data.
z When a file in an external de vice such as a CD/DVD drive, external hard disk, or ATA card
is opened, close the file.
z Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not
appear when the computer resumes fro m the standby or hibernation mode. If you wan t to
use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the Windows
password as follows:
A Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Use r Accounts] and select the account for
which the password will be set.
B Select [Create a password], input the password, and then [Create Password].
C Add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from

Options] - [Advanced].
Standby/Hibernation Functions
z Do not enter either the standby or hibernation mode under the following conditions. You
may corrupt your data or file, the standby or hibernation function may not work, or the
computer (or peripherals) may fail to work properly.
• When the multimedia pocket device indicator
Memory Card indicator is on.
• When playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as MPEG files).
• When playing a DVD-Video.
• When writing to a CD-R/RW disc.
• When using communications software or the network function.
• When using PC Cards.
(If these cards fail to work properly, restart the computer.)
• When an external mouse is connected to the serial port.

Except when using a second battery pack
When entering the standby or hibernation mode
Standby mode: until the power indicator blinks green
Hibernation mode: until the power indicator goes off
z Avoid the following:
• Using the keyboard, touch pad, touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen), or
power switch.
• Using external mouse or other peripheral devices.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Closing or opening the display.
z It may take one or two minutes to enter the standby or hibernation mode.

z In standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that power is
consumed. When all power has been consume d, all data sa ved at standby is lost since it
is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor when using
the standby function.
