Getting Started
Expanding Memory
Depending on the computer, you can expand the RAM module (sold separately). The 
increase in memory will improve the processing speed of Windows and other applica-
tion software. (Effects may differ depending on your usage conditions.)
zUse recommended RAM module products. Do not use non-recommended RAM 
modules.  Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may 
cause damage to your computer.  Refer to Specifications (Îpage 57) for recom-
mended RAM module specifications. Refer to various sources for recommended 
RAM module.
zMatsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility whatsoever for fail-
ures or damage caused by the use of non-recommended RAM modules, or by 
incorrect installation or removal of such RAM modules.  Before installing a RAM 
module, confirm the product type and the correct installation method.
CAUTION
zRAM modules are extremely sensitive to static electricity. There are cases 
where static electricity generated by the human body has adversely affected 
such RAM modules. When inserting or removing a RAM module, do not touch 
the terminals or internal components, insert objects other than the module, or 
allow foreign particles to enter. Doing so has been known to cause damage, fire 
or electric shock.
