Precautions (Battery Pack)  
Care should be exercised with regard to the following in  
order to avoid the possibility of overheating, fire or dam-  
age.  
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.  
Avoid Heat  
Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or  
expose it to excessive heat.  
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.  
Keep Articles Away  
Do not place the battery pack together with ar-  
ticles such as necklaces or hairpins when carry-  
ing or storing.  
Do Not Disassemble  
Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack,  
expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disas-  
semble, or modify it.  
NOTE  
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or  
normal use. This is completely normal.  
Do Not Short  
Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-)  
contacts.  
Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable  
temperature range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F}). (  
“Battery Power”) Once the allowable range re-  
quirement 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.  
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sun-  
light  
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 Use With Any Other Computer  
The battery pack is rechargeable and was in-  
tended for the specified computer. Do not use  
it with a computer other than the one for which  
it was designed.  
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.  
Do Not Put into a Microwave  
Do not put the battery pack into a microwave  
oven or a pressurized chamber.  
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.  
Stop Using  
Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, be-  
come 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 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.

Information for Windows XP  
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and  
other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)  
may be inoperable.  
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.  
You can also change the way a user logs on or off.  
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default  
setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).  
Resetting the password  
Windows XP has a function to reset a forgotten password.  
To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following  
the steps below.  
1 Connect the USB floppy disk drive (optional: CF-VFDU03) to your computer.  
2 Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and select the account you used  
to logon.  
3 Select [Prevent a forgotten password] from the [Related Tasks] menu and create a  
password reset disk following the on-screen instructions.  
Store the password reset disk in a safe place.  
Only the logon password for each account can be reset.  
The password set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.  
·
When you create the first new account, you can only select [Computer administrator].  
Only the added user account will be displayed in the Welcome screen. The account for  
the administrator created during Windows setup (when the computer is started up for  
the first time) will not be displayed.

• Performing any keyboard, touch pad, touchscreen (only for models with  
touchscreen), or external mouse operations.  
Power Indicator  
• Closing the display.  
Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before  
powering it on again.  
When using this computer with the battery pack only, it may take some time  
for the power to turn on after sliding the power switch. In this case, slide  
the power switch and hold it for more than one second. This phenomenon  
occurs because the standby power is minimized while the power is turned  
off; it is not a malfunction.  
When the CPU temperature rises, the computer may not power on to pre-  
vent the CPU from overheating. Should this happen, allow the computer to  
cool down then switch the power on again.  
If the computer still does not power on, contact your technical support office.

Select your application  
You are able to start working on your computer.  
NOTE  
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch  
pad, the touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when  
one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the power to the LCD and hard disk  
may be turned off. The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad, the touchscreen  
(only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when one is connected) is  
used or a key is pressed.  
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is being  
installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog box will be  
shown, do not press Space or Enter to attempt to resume from this condition  
as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key unrelated to the direct  
triggering of a selection, like Ctrl .  
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby or  
hibernation mode (  
“Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer  
will resume by sliding the power switch.  
Windows XP  
When switching to a different user with the Fast User Switching function, it may  
not be possible to set the settings of the display. In this case, log on with the

Handling the Touch Pad  
Do not place any object on the work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed  
objects (e.g., nails) or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).  
Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch pad.  
The cursor may not work properly in such cases.  
When the touch pad becomes dirty:  
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with  
detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface,  
e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and  
cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.

List of Error Codes  
The following is a list of the messages that BIOS can display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them display information  
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 your technical support office (  
page 32). 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.
