page 42). Precautions (Battery Pack) Care should be exercised with regard to the following in or-
der to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or damage. Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or ex-
pose it to excessive heat. Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or stor-
ing. Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble, or modify it. Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) con-
tacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for ex-
tended periods where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in a car 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 intended for the specified computer. 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. Stop Using Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, re-
move it from the computer and stop using it. 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. 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 adaptor 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 requirement 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 recharging does not restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one. When transporting a spare battery inside a package, brief-
case, etc., 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. Leav-
ing the computer on when the AC adaptor is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 7 Read Me First When Using Peripheral Devices Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computers specifications. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condi-
tion and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) . If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly. Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully. 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 (

tion about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured. Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for reported problems. If your system displays any of the below error messages other that the ones marked with an asterisk (*), write down the message and contact Panasonic Technical Support (
page 42). If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error. Fixed disk in not working or not configured properly. Check to see if fixed disk is attached properly. Run Setup.

If the error persists, check the system battery or contact Panasonic Technical Support (
page 42). Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup and verify that the wait-state configuration is correct. This error is cleared the next time the system is booted. Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST diskette tests.

In some cases, when the number of colors for the display is increased, a message appears and the DVD cannot be played. If this happens, reduce the number of display colors. Immediately after resuming from a pause, frame dropping may occur depending on the operating environment or DVD video (images or sounds are disrupted). In the Dualview or simultaneous (internal/external) display mode, there are times when images or video are not dis-
played correctly. During a prolonged period of rapid advance, the pause mode may be established at some point. If this happens, exit WinDVD, and restart. x i d n e p p A 35 WinDVD About Regions Setting
<Only for CF-50A******/CF-50B******>
The regions setting can be changed for up to 5 times. After the fifth change is made, it will no longer be possible either to change the setting or to return to the original setting.
<Only for CF-50E******/CF-50G******>
The DVD-Video has a region code that is fixed according to the region where it is sold. In order to play a DVD-Video, the region code of the player software and of the drive must match that of the DVD-Video.
<Example>
For U.S.A. and Canada: 1 For Europe: 2 The region code is not set prior to the shipment of this drive. Therefore, operations will differ depending on the first DVD-
Video played. In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set with the same region code as the DVD-Video. In the case of any other DVD-Video:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code and select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not be displayed for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current region code and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD screen and select [Setup] - [Region].) CAUTION The region code can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed very carefully, because after the fourth change has been made, the region code set last is fixed and no further changes can be made. The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing or altering the region code. NOTE
[Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is inserted into a drive for which another region code has already been set. Information Inquires about WinDVD should be made to InterVideo, Inc. InterVideo, Inc. URL:
