*2 CCU: Coronary Care Unit s n o i t a r a p e r P 9 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 damage.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. 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 articles such as necklaces or hair-
pins when carrying or storing. 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
(-) contacts. Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight 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 a car on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place. Do not charge the battery using the methods other than indicated in this manual Do not use this computer with a bat-
tery pack other than the one specified
(the one included with the computer or the specified battery pack sold sepa-
rately) 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 micro-
wave 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, remove it from the computer and stop using it.
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 recharging 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 nor-
mal.
Recharging will not commence if internal tempera-
ture of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temperature range (0 C to 55 C {32 F to 131 F}). ( "Chapter 2: Battery Power" in onscreen Reference Manual) Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automati-
cally. 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 below.)
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 by using 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 pack-
age, briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are pro-
tected.
Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adap-
tor is not connected will exhaust the remaining bat-
tery capacity. d s e n t o r a i t t a S r a g p n e i t r t P e G 10 Usage Precautions / About Notations Usage Precautions

This area is to back up (store) hard disk contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations. By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting from operational errors or other factors. Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, without having to use other media or peripheral devices. At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled. If you follow the procedure below to create a backup area, the hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data. Note, that once the backup function has been enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again ( page 57). The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when the data is backed up or restored. Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may be lost. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss of data) as a result of the use of this function. Preparing You will need the Product Recovery DVD-ROM (included). Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices, SD memory cards, and MultiMedia Cards. Take care to disconnect the USB floppy disk drive, as the backup area may not be created properly while these devices are connected.
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.
A backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several par-
titions. Return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition only), and create the backup area.
To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created
( page 66 step G).
If the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after the backup area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the backup function. To change the configuration, it is necessary to return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase, and then create the backup area again.
The hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function does not work with an external hard disk.
Backup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged.
Do not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insuffi-
cient capacity of the backup area.
If the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. We recommend that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard disk (an external hard disk or other media).
Execute a disk error check using the following procedure. A Display [Local Disk(C:) properties]. Right-click [Local Disk(C:)] in [start] - [My Computer], and click [Proper-
ties]. B Click [Check Now] from [Tools]. C In [Check Disk], click [Start] without adding a check mark beside any of the items. If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, dis-
play [Check Disk], and add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors], click [Start], and check for disk errors again.
The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not con-
vert the hard disk to a dynamic disk. n o i t a m r o f n I t n a t r o p m I 64 NOTE
Regarding backup area
Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk. Without sufficient space available, the backup area cannot be created.
When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less than half.
The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.
When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously in the backup area will be lost.
