Expanding Memory

Depending on the computer, you can expand the RAM module (sold separately). The increase in memory will improve the processing speed of Windows and other applica- tion software. (Effects may differ depending on your usage conditions.)

zUse recommended RAM module products. Do not use non-recommended RAM modules. Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may cause damage to your computer. Some non-recommended RAM modules may overheat, causing the cover to warp. Refer to "Specifications" (Î page 62) for rec- ommended RAM module specifications. Refer to various sources for recommended RAM module.

zMatsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility whatsoever for fail- ures or damage caused by the use of non-recommended RAM modules, or by incorrect installation or removal of such RAM modules. Before installing a RAM module, confirm the product type and the correct installation method.

CAUTION

zRAM modules are extremely sensitive to static electricity. There are cases where static electricity generated by the human body has adversely affected such RAM modules. When inserting or removing a RAM module, do not touch the terminals or internal components, insert objects other than the module, or allow foreign particles to enter. Doing so has been known to cause damage, fire or electric shock.
