Appendix Troubleshooting Useful Information Getting Started

Note that the computer consumes electricity even when the computer power is off. If the battery pack is fully charged, the battery will be fully discharged in the following period of time:

When using the supplied battery pack (CF-VZSU51W)

•When power is off: Approx. 1.5 months

•In standby: Approx. 2 days*2

•In hibernation: Approx. 3 days*2

When using the optional battery pack (CF-VZSU52W)

•When power is off: Approx. 0.7 months

•In standby: Approx. 1 days*2

•In hibernation: Approx. 1.5 days*2

*2 If “Wake Up from wired LAN” is disabled, the period of time will become slightly longer. If “Wake Up from wireless LAN” is enabled, the period of time will become shorter.

If the computer becomes warm during usage

•Check the usage environment

-Avoid using the computer on a highly heat retentive surfaces (e.g., rubber pads). If possible, use the computer on surfaces that can dissipate heat, such as a steel desk.

-Do not use a keyboard cover, as this prevents heat dissipation.

-Always keep the display open in standby.

•Check the following

-If the computer becomes warm while the screen saver is displayed, set the screen saver to [Windows XP]. Screen savers that use 3-D images or other complex images increase the CPU utilization rate.

-If you are not using a wireless LAN, turn the wireless LAN off.

-Use recommended RAM module products. Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may cause damage to your computer.

•Double-click on the desktop and click [High speed], then click [OK].

-When you set [High speed], rotation of the cooling fan speeds up and the computer can be cooled down. Note that the battery operating time will be shorter.

-When you do not frequently use CPU or the rotation noise of the fan bothers you, set [Standard] or [Low speed] as necessary.

When Starting Up/Shutting Down

Do not do the following

•Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor

•Sliding the power switch

•Touching the keyboard, touch pad, touchscreen or external mouse

•Closing the display

The hand strap is convenient for computing while standing.

To carry the computer, put your hand between the computer and the hand strap to prevent it from falling, and firmly hold the computer when using it.
