Getting Started
First-time Operation
Connect your computer to a power outlet.
 
The battery charging starts automatically.
 CAUTION 
  Do not disconnect the AC adaptor and do not switch the wireless switch to on 
until the fi rst-time operation procedure is completed.
  When using the computer for the fi rst time, do not connect any peripheral device 
except the battery pack and AC adaptor.
  Handling the AC adaptor
  Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder 
and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninter-
ruptible power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless running from the 
battery pack alone.

 Push and hold the latch (A), and lift open the display.

power indicator   lights.
 CAUTION 
  Do not slide the power switch repeatedly.
  The computer will forcibly be turned off if you slide and hold the power switch for 
four seconds or longer.
  Once you turn off the computer, wait for ten seconds or more before you turn on 
the computer again.
  Do not perform the following operation until the hard disk drive indicator   turns off.
  Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor
  Sliding the power switch
  Touching the keyboard, touch pad or touchscreen (only for model with touchscreen)
  Closing the display
  When the CPU temperature is high, the computer may not start up to prevent 
overheating of the CPU. Wait until the computer cools down, and then turn the 
power on again. If the computer does not power on even after cooling down, 
contact Panasonic Technical Support (  page 38).

  This computer periodically records the management information including the 
hard disk information such as number of hours powered-on, number of times 
powered-on, internal temperature, replacement sector. The maximum data vol-
ume for each record is 750 byte. These information are only used for estimating 
the cause when the hard disk goes down by any possibility. They are never sent 
to outside via network nor used for any other purpose except for the purpose 
described the above.
To disable the function, add the check mark for [Disable the automatic save 
function for management information history] in [Hard Disk Status] of PC Infor-
mation Viewer, and click [OK].
