First-time Operation 
						

							23
Getting Started
Starting Up/Shutting Down
1Turn 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 drive power/open switch.
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.
2Log-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. Confirm that character input is not set to 
“Caps Lock” or “NumLK.” (Îpage 15)
zThis operation may differ according to [Use the Welcome screen] setting 
(Îpage 38).
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).
3Select 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 
has been accessed 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 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.
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the 
standby or hibernation mode. The computer will resume by sliding the power 
switch. (Î “Standby/Hibernation Functions” in onscreen Reference Manual)
• If there is no disk set in the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive, the drive power will be 
turned off. (Î “DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW Drive” in onscreen Reference Manual)
zWhen the CPU temperature rises, the computer may not power on to prevent 
the CPU from overheating.  Should this happen, allow the computer to cool 
down then switch the power on again.
If the computer still does not power on, contact your technical support office.

• Sliding the drive power/open switch.
NOTE
zWhen the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord 
from your AC wall outlet. About 1.5 W of power is consumed simply by having 
the AC adaptor plugged into an electrical outlet.
zNote that the computer consumes electricity even when the computer power is 
off. If the battery pack is fully charged, the battery will fully discharge in Approx. 
3 weeks. 
‹When you leave the computer or interrupt your work...
If you use the “Standby” or “Hibernation” function, then when you turn on the power 
next time, the application software and files you were using before will be displayed, 
and you can restart the same operations. (Î “Standby/Hibernation Functions” in

pencils, or pens on the work surface.
• Try to avoid having any harmful substances, such as oil, come in contact with 
the touch pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases.

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 over-
heat, causing the cover to warp. Refer to Specifications (Îpage 62) 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.
