2Turn your computer on.
Slide the power switch   and hold it  for approximately one second until the 
power indicator   turns on before releasing it.
z Do not slide the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds; this 
will cause the power to be turned off forcibly.
z While booting, avoid the following unt il 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 drive po wer/open switch.
z Do not slide the power switch repeatedly.
z Once 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).
z Input the password, then click  . Until the correct password is entered, 
the computer will not operate. Confirm th at character input is not set to 
“Caps Lock” or “NumLK.” ( Îpage 15)
z This operation may differ according to [Use the Welcome screen] setting 
(Î page 38).
z When only one user has been created and no password has been set, the 
screen for selecting the user will no t be displayed (automatic log-on).
4Select your application.
Run various software applicat ions, etc. and operate them.
NOTE
zThe power saving function is factory set, so  if no key is pressed or if no device 
has been accessed for a certain interval of time:
• The power to the LCD and hard disk ma y be turned off.  The LCD will resume 
operation when the touch pad or an exte rnal mouse (when one is connected) 
is used or a key is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is 
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.)
z Use 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 62) for rec-
ommended RAM module specifications. Refer to various sources for recommended 
RAM module.
z Matsushita 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 re moval of such RAM modules.   Before installing a RAM 
module, confirm the product type and the correct installation method.
CAUTION
z RAM 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.
