2Turn your computer on.
Slide the power switch   and hold it for approximately one second until the 
power indicator   turns on before releasing it.
zDo not slide the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds; this 
will cause the power to be turned off forcibly.
zWhile booting, avoid the following until the hard disk drive indicator   has 
turned off.
 Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
 Touching the power switch.
 Performing any keyboard, touch pad, or external mouse operations.
 Closing the display.
 Sliding the open lever.
zDo not slide the power switch repeatedly.
zOnce the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds 
before powering it on again.
3Log-on to Windows.
After confirming that the hard disk drive indicator   has turned off, click the 
user (users icon).
zInput the password, then click  . Until the correct password is entered, 
the computer will not operate.

zThis operation may differ according to [Use the Welcome screen] setting 
(Îpage 41).
zWhen only one user has been created and no password has been set, the 
screen for selecting the user will not be displayed (automatic log-on).
4Select your application.
Run various software applications, etc. and operate them.
NOTE
zThe power saving function is factory set, so if no key is pressed or if no device

being installed.  In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog 
box will be shown, do not press the 
Space key or the Enter key to attempt 
to resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, 
press a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like the 
Ctrl key.

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. Some non-recommended RAM modules may 
overheat, causing the cover to warp. Refer to Specifications (Îpage 72) for rec-
ommended 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.
‹Inserting

(Îpage 15 “L” of “Names and Functions of Parts”)
zThere is one screw on the cover.  Do not confuse this with the cover with 
two screws.
zUse the proper size screw driver to insure that the screw does not get 
stripped.
3Insert the RAM module.
ACheck direction of a RAM module (C).
Hold the RAM module in the direction that the notch (E) of the RAM 
module suits to the protrusion (D) of the slot.

the message “Extended RAM Module Failed” will be displayed when turning the 
power on. In this case, turn the power off, confirm that the RAM module meets 
the specifications, and reinsert it.
zWhether the RAM module is properly recognized or not can be confirmed in 
[Information] menu of the Setup Utility (Îpage 33).
