21 Operation zDo not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables force- fully. zDo 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. zDo not power down your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator is on. Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems. zSave 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. zUse the security function for all important data. (⇒ Reference Manual “Security Measures”) 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. 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.) (⇒ Reference Manual “Security Measures”) zDo not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the MP indicator is on. Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk use- less. zUse 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 floppy disk to a magnetic field. Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust. Applying more than one label on the floppy disk. zConfirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it. Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased. zUse the write-protect tab (A). This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your data from being erased or overwritten. zWhen disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, erase all data on the hard disk in order to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Windows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use the hard disk data erase utility (included) ( Îpage 31). (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guarantee that data will be completely erased.) Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial software that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing agreement for that software.

You can use the PC Information Viewer to check the computer’s usage status. (⇒Reference Manual “Dealing with Problems (Advanced)”) „Starting Up The power indicator is not litzCheck the cable connection for the AC adaptor. zCheck to see if a fully charged battery is properly installed. zRemove the battery pack and disconnect the AC adaptor, then connect them again. The computer does not operate when a USB device is connectedzThe computer may not operate when certain USB devices are connected. Disconnect the USB device, or set [Legacy USB Support] to [Disable] in [Security] menu of the Setup Utility. [Enter Password] is dis- playedzInput your Supervisor Password or User Password. If you have forgotten it, contact Panasonic Technical Support (Îpage 35). POST Startup Error(s) is displayedÎpage 23 Windows startup, or an operation is extremely slowzPress F9 in the Setup Utility (⇒Reference Manual “Setup Utility”). This will restore the Setup Utility’s settings to their default values (except the password settings). Then, the Setup Utility must be run once again for you to input the appropriate oper- ating environment settings.

When resuming from the standby or hibernation mode, [Enter Password] does not appear even if a password has been set in the Setup UtilityzEven when a password has been set in the [Security] menu of the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode. If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the Windows password as follows: ASelect the account to change in [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the password. BAdd the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced]. When “Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart” (or a similar mes- sage) is displayedzThis means a floppy disk that does not contain system startup information has been left in the floppy disk drive. Remove the floppy disk, and press any key. zIf the message still appears even after trying the above measure, this may be an indication that some type of hard disk failure has occurred. Contact Panasonic Technical Support. [Executing Battery Recali- bration] screen is displayedzThis screen appears because the Battery Recalibration was canceled before Windows was shut down last. To start up Windows, turn off the computer by using the power switch, and then turn it back on again. When the administrator password is forgottenzIf you have created a password reset disk (Îpage 12), a message is displayed when you fail to correctly enter the password. Follow the message’s instructions and set the password again by using the password reset disk. If you have not created a password reset disk, after reinstalling, setup Windows and then set the password again.

25 Troubleshooting When the previous item is not the causezPress F9 in the Setup Utility (⇒Reference Manual “Setup Utility”). This will restore the Setup Utility’s settings to their default values (except the password settings). zTry removing all peripheral devices. zCheck a disk error using the following procedure. ADisplay [Local Disk (C:) Properties]. Right-click [Local Disk(C:)] in [start] - [My Computer], and select [Proper- ties]. BSelect [Tools] - [Check Now]. CSelect [Start] after selecting required items in [Check disk options]. zAt startup, hold down F8 when [Panasonic] boot screen disappears*1, and release your finger when the Windows Advanced Option Menu is displayed. Start the com- puter in Safe Mode, and confirm the details of the error. *1When [Password on boot] is set to [Enable], [Enter Password] appears after the [Panasonic] boot screen disappears. Hold down F8 soon after inputting the password and pressing Enter. „Display No display after powering onzWhen there is no display to an external display, Check your cable connection to the external display. Confirm your display is powered on. Check the settings for your external display. zThe display destination may be set to the external display. Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3.

To resume operation of your computer from the condition the power of the display is off (for energy conservation purposes), press any key unrelated to the direct trigger- ing of a selection, like Ctrl. zTo save power, your computer may have automatically entered the standby mode (power indicator blinks green) or hibernation mode (power indicator turns off). In such cases, press the power switch. When the battery pack is used, the screen is darker than when the AC adaptor is connectedzPress Fn + F2 and adjust the brightness. Note, however, that when the brightness is increased, the battery running time will become shorter. Brightness can be set to separate levels for when the AC adaptor is connected and when it is disconnected. An afterimage appears (e.g., green, red, and blue dots remain on the display) or there are dots not dis- playing the correct colorszIf an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This is not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed. zHigh-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture ele- ments either fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of ele- ments are functioning properly), no defect is considered to exist. The screen becomes disor- deredzThe screen display may become distorted if the resolution or number of colors is changed, or if an external display is connected or disconnected while the computer is operating. Restart the computer. The external display no longer displays properlyzWhen an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power saving mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display. „Starting Up
