Getting Started
Connect your computer to a power outlet.
CAUTION
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing the first-time use opera-
tion.
When using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral de-
vice except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully.  Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer.  Using an AC adaptor
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder and
lightning.  Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless running from the battery
pack alone.

other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)
may be inoperable.  Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.
You can also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default
setting (not Classic view nor Classic Start menu etc.).
Resetting the password

To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following
the steps below.

2Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts].
3Select [Prevent a forgotten password] from [Related Tasks] menu of the account
you used to logon and create a password reset disk following the on-screen instruc-
tions.
Store the password reset disk in a safe place.
·Only the logon password for each account can be reset.
The password set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.
Information for Windows XP
This concludes the first-time use operation guidelines.
When creating a new user account:
· If you make mail settings, create password reset disks ( below), or
conduct other related operations before creating the user account, you will
be unable to use any previous mail history or settings.
· When you create the first new account, you can only select [Computer
administrator].
Once a “Computer Administrator” account has been created, you can cre-
ate additional limited user accounts.
Note also that only the added user account will be displayed in the Wel-
come screen. The account for the administrator created during Windows
setup will not be displayed.
The message “Your computer might be at risk,” which is displayed at the
bottom right of the screen, is generated by the “Security Center” function in
Windows XP, and does not indicate an error or malfunction.
To prevent this message from being displayed, refer to “Security of the
Computer” (
 page 26).
About the Icon Enlarger:
· If the characters or icons on the screen are too small and difficult to see,
after completing step 
8, select [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [Icon
Enlarger]. This will allow you to magnify the display of characters and
icons on the screen. (
  “Icon Enlarger”)
· The [Icon Enlarger] can be set separately for each account.
You can also use [Loupe Utility], which enlarges a part of the screen. (
 “Loupe Utility”)
To improve the security of the computer, be sure to refer to “Security of the
Computer” and “Windows Update”. (
 page 27)
If you use the wireless LAN, be sure to refer to “Wireless LAN” ( page

Operation
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch
pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the
power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off.  The LCD will resume operation
when the touch pad or an external 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   Space    or    Enter    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   Ctrl   .
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby or
hibernation mode (
   “Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer will
resume by sliding the power switch.
If there is no disk set in the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive, the drive power will be
turned off.(
