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.

ꢂ

Do Not Use This Computer with a Battery Pack Other

Than the One Speciﬁed

Use only the speciﬁed 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).

ꢂ

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.

ꢂ

Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to

become wet.

ꢂ

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.

ꢂ

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.

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 ﬁle save and change

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

ꢂ

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.

ꢂ

When restarting the computer, the message “Check ﬁle 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.

ꢂ

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)

ꢃ

(

ꢀ

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 speciﬁc software,

etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.

ꢂ

For further information, refer to:

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 conﬁdential 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.
