ceiver.  
Keep the computer away from magnets. Data stored on  
the hard disk may be lost.  
Do Not Connect a Telephone Line, or a Network Cable  
Other Than the One Specied, into the LAN Port  
If the LAN port is connected to a network such as the ones  
listed below, a re or electric shock may result.  
Precautions (Battery Pack)  
Do Not Use with Any Other Computer  
NOTE  
The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the  
specied computer. If it is used with a computer other than  
the one for which it was designed, electrolyte leakage, gen-  
eration of heat, ignition or rupture may result.  
Do Not Charge the Battery Using the Methods Other  
Than Those Specied  
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}).  
If the battery is not charged using one of the specied  
methods, 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.  
(
Reference Manual “Battery Power”) Once the  
allowable range requirement is satised, 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  
Do Not Insert Sharp Objects into the Battery Pack, Ex- ꢂ  
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.  
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.  
Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other  
Than the One Specied  
Use only the specied battery pack (CF-VZSU46U) with your  
CF-30. 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.  
The battery pack is not charged when the computer is  
rst purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for  
the rst time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the  
computer, charging begins automatically.  
Should the battery leak and the uid get into your eyes,  
do not rub your eyes. Immediately ush your eyes with  
clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as  
soon as possible.

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 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  
cannot 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 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 specic software,  
etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.  
For further information, refer to:  
When using Personal Secure Drive (  
Installation Manual of “Trusted Platform Module (TPM)”), do not execute  
File Backup for Personal Secure Drive.  
The “Create recovery CD-DVD” function in Recover Pro is designed to help you save complete backup data to CD  
or DVD. When using the “Create recovery CD-DVD”, you can view the complete backup data on the hard disk, but  
take care to avoid accidentally deleting this data.  
After installing the Recover Pro, do not use the IEEE1394 network connection. If any problem occurred, stop the  
IEEE1394 network connection and restart the computer.

Hard Disk Data Erase Utility  
When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage.  
Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with  
some special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.  
Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s  
license agreement.  
The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an overwriting method, but there is a possibility that due to mal-  
functions or other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that  
may be able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly condential data, we  
recommend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will  
bear no responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.  
CAUTION  
When the hard disk contains the Recover Pro backup data, the Recover Pro backup area is lost as well.  
NOTE  
This utility cannot erase data for specic partitions.
