Other Than the One Speciﬁ ed, into the LAN Port

If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones

listed below, a ﬁ re or electric shock may result.

Networks other than 1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-TX or

10BASE-T

Phone lines (Telephone lines, internal phone lines (on-

premise switches), digital public phones, etc.)

Precautions (Battery Pack)

Do Not Use with Any Other Computer

The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the

speciﬁ ed computer or charger. If it is used with a computer

other than the one for which it was designed, electrolyte

leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other

Than Indicated in This Manual

If the battery pack is not charged using one of the methods

indicated in this manual, electrolyte leakage, generation of

heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Do Not Throw the Battery Pack into a Fire or Expose It

to Excessive Heat

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result.

Avoid Extreme Heat (Near the Fire, in Direct Sunlight, for

Example)

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture

may result.

Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack, Ex-

pose It to Bumps or Shocks, Disassemble, or Modify It

Electrolyte leakage, generation of heat, ignition or rupture

may result.

Do Not Short the Positive (+) and Negative (-) Contacts

Generation of heat, ignition or rupture may result. Do not

place the battery pack together with articles such as neck-

laces or hairpins when carrying or storing.

Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other

Than the One Speciﬁ ed

Use only the speciﬁ ed battery pack (CF-VZSU48U) with your

CF-19. Use of battery packs other than those manufactured

and supplied by Panasonic may present a safety hazard

(generation of heat, ignition or rupture).

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

recharging only when the remaining power is less than

approx. 95% of capacity.

Do Not Use with Exposing the Skin to the Computer for

a Long Period of Time

Using the computer with exposing the skin to the heat source

of the computer or AC adaptor for a long period of time can

cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not place the computer near a television or radio re-

ceiver.

Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on

the hard disk may be lost.

The battery pack is not charged when the computer is

ﬁ rst purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for

the ﬁ rst time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the

computer, charging begins automatically.

Should the battery leak and the ﬂ uid get into your eyes,

do not rub your eyes. Immediately ﬂ ush your eyes with

clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as

soon as possible.

NOTE

The battery pack may become warm during recharg-

ing or normal use. This is completely normal.

Recharging will not commence if internal temperature

of the battery pack is outside of the allowable temper-

ature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F}).

(

Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the

allowable range requirement is satisﬁ ed, 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 below.)

If the temperature is low, the operating time is short-

ened. Only use the computer within the allowable

temperature range.

This computer has a high temperature mode function

that prevents the degradation of the battery in high

temperature environments. (

Reference Manual

“Battery Power”) A level corresponding to a 100%

charge for high temperature mode is approximately

equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal tempera-

ture mode.

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 re-

peated recharging does not restore its performance,

the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.

When transporting a spare battery inside a package,

briefcase, 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.

Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not

connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

Useful Information

Hard Disk Backup Function (Recover Pro)

The Recover Pro creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk to back up (store) the hard disk data, and re-

stores the backup data to its original location when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors. You do

not need external media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.

At purchase, the Recover Pro is not installed. Install using the instructions below.

The Recover Pro cannot back up or restore data correctly if a hard disk problem occurs during data backup or re-

storing. If an error occurs due to an unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason while data is being

restored, the hard disk data (data before restoration) may be lost.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damage suffered (including loss of data) as a

result of the use of this function.

The Recover Pro provides 3 types of backup as follows:



Quick Backup: Scheduled backup of the updated data



File Backup: File backup at ﬁ le save and change



Complete Backup: Backup of the entire data on the internal hard disk

Here, we will explain the procedures for installation, complete backup (backing up hard disk contents in case Windows can-

not be booted), and complete restore (recovering the hard disk data to its condition at the time of the complete backup).

For further information, refer to the software’s online manual (



page 20).

CAUTION



All operations should be executed with the AC adaptor connected. Do not turn the power off while operations are

in progress. If the power is turned off while installation, backup, or restore operations are in progress, these opera-

tions may not function properly, and it may be impossible to start Windows. Also, do not press any keys or slide any

switches, including hot keys.



When restarting the computer, the message “Check ﬁ le system on C:” may appear. Follow the on-screen instruc-

tions. Do not skip the check process.



Make sure you allow enough space on the hard disk when choosing settings during installation. To change these

settings you must reinstall Recover Pro.

To execute Complete Backup reliably, we recommend performing [Typical] installation in the following cases.



Hard disk with a single partition



Immediately after reinstalling software (when more than half of the entire space of the hard disk is available)

(



page 22)



Be sure to use the internal hard disk drive to create the backup area. Never use disk or device other than the inter-

nal hard disk drive.



Some software (security software, backup software, encryption software, or hard disc accessible speciﬁ c software,

etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.
