On the computer is a label that contains, among other informa-

tion, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If required, this informa-

tion must be provided to the telephone company. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 2. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is pro-

vided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation Instructions for details. 3. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all area, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. 4. If your telephone equipment cause harm to the telephone net-

work, the telephone company will notify you in advice that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advice notice isnt practical, the telephone company will no-

tify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be ad-

vised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. 5. The telephone company may take changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the op-

eration of the equipment. If this happens the telephone com-

pany will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. 6. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact Matsushita Electric Corporation of America at DIAL TOLL FREE 1-800-

LAPTOP5 (1-800-527-8675). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. 7. There are no user serviceable parts contained in this equipment. 8. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

The CF-M34 was developed based on thorough research into the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur-

suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to in-

novations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-M34's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures. As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended. Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture. Avoid Radio Frequency Interference Do not place the computer near a television or ra-

dio receiver. Avoid Magnetic Fields Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on the hard disk may be lost. Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer. Do Not Disassemble the Computer Do not attempt to disassemble your computer. Avoid Excessive Force on the Display Do not apply excessive downward force on the display when it is completely opened, especially when plugs and/or cables are connected to the rear of the computer. Avoid low-temperature burns Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro-

ducing area of the notebook computer, power adapter, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long enough period of time. Peripherals Incorrectly using peripheral devices may lead to a decrease in per-

formance, an increase in temperature and/or damage your com-

puter. For more information on peripheral devices, refer to the Reference Manual. Cables Use of an interface cable longer than 3 m (9.84 feet) is not recom-

mended. 5 If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time

(a month or more), charge or discharge (use) the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by re-

charging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity. The battery pack is not charged when the computer is first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adapter is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically. Should the battery leak and the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible. NOTE The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (0 C to 50 C {32F to 122 F})

"Battery Power". Once the allowable range re-

quirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 C {50 F} or less.) If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range. The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated rechargings do not restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one. When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or bag, it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected. Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adapter is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity. Read Me First Precautions ( Battery Pack ) Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-

age. Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or expose it to excessive heat. Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack together with ar-

ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-

ing or storing. Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-

semble, or modify it. Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) contacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-

light Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for extended periods where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place. Do Not Use With Any Other Computer The battery pack is rechargeable and was in-

tended for the specified computer or charger. Do not use it with a computer other than the one for which it was designed. Do Not Put into a Microwave Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber. Discontinue Use Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be-

come hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, remove it from the computer or charger and discontinue use. Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The bat-

tery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 6 Saving Data on the Hard Disk Do not expose your computer to shock. Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software appli-

cations and data unusable. Do not power down your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator (

is on. Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems ([Start] - [Shut Down] ). Save all valuable data to disks. Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you inad-

vertently change or erase data. Use the security function for all important data. (

Areas with extremely high/low temperatures Do not leave things near the computer that are sensitive to heat. During operation, the computer may become warm. This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the LCD and hard disk drive, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trouble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in the handling. Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects. Do not carry your computer when it is on. Remove all cables before transporting your computer. We recommend preparing a fully charged battery. When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag. Do not place the computer upright or allow it to tip over. When the computer receives extremely strong shock after falling, the hard disk or floppy disk drive, etc., may become inoperable. Do not carry the computer while the display is open, or carry it by gripping the display. Do not put anything (e.g., a piece of paper) between the display and keyboard. Always carry your computer with you. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on this issue. It is a good idea to make backup copies on disks and carry them with you. Do not leave a disk in the drive while transporting your computer. Display Avoid using water when cleaning the panel. Ingredients included in water may leave residue and reduce readability of the screen.

<When cleaning dust/dirt>

Avoid rubbing off dust/dirt with cloth since it may leave scratch on the screen. Sweep dust/dirt with fine brush, then wipe it with dry soft cloth used for cleaning glasses.

<When cleaning oily surface>

Apply camera lens cleaner on a soft gauze and clean it with gentle force. Then, wipe with dry soft cloth used for cleaning glasses. Areas excluding the display Wipe these areas with a soft cloth, after applying water or detergent diluted with water to the soft cloth and firmly wringing out excess water. CAUTION Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain compo-

nents harmful to the surface. Do not directly add or spray water or detergent. If liquid enters the inside of the computer, it may cause it to work improperly or be damaged. 8 First-time Operation Read the steps below to help you learn what parts are included, and to gain an understanding of some basic computer-related operations. 1 Confirm the inclusion of all parts Make sure the parts shown in the figure have been supplied.

Handling the AC adapter Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the connections. Use only the specified AC adapter with your computer. Using an AC adapter 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 light-

ning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source

(UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed. 6 Open the display 1 Lift up the latch. 2 Lift open the display. 7 Turn your computer on Slide the power switch and hold it for approximately one second until the power indi-

cator (

) turns on before releasing it. Power Indicator Power Switch CAUTION Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before pow-

ering it on again. NOTE The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch pad, the touchscreen 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, touchscreen or an external mouse (when one is connected) is used or a key is pressed. The power to the LCD may be turned off while Windows is setting up or even when an application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceiv-

able 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*

mode (
