The CF-19 was developed based on thorough research into the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibra tion damped hard disk drive and ﬂoppy disk drive, ﬂexible internal connections. The CF-19’s outstanding engineering has been tested using the strict MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures. As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and han dling procedures are recommended.

Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture.

If a Malfunction Occurs, Immediately Unplug the AC Cord and the Battery Pack

yComputer is damaged

yForeign object inside computer Smoke emitted

yUnusual smell emitted

Unusually hot

Continuing to use the computer while any of the above con ditions are present may result in ﬁre or electric shock.

yIf a malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and unplug the AC cord, and then remove the battery pack.

Do Not Touch the Computer and Cable When It Starts Thundering

Electric shock may result.

Do Not Connect the AC Adaptor to a Power Source Other Than a Standard Household AC Outlet Otherwise, a ﬁre due to overheating may result. Connecting to a DC/AC converter (inverter) may damage the AC adap tor. On an airplane, only connect the AC adaptor/charger to an AC outlet speciﬁcally approved for such use.

Do Not Do Anything That May Damage the AC Cord, the DC Plug, or the AC Adaptor

Do not damage or modify the cord, place it near hot tools, bend, twist, or pull it forcefully, place heavy objects on it, or bundle it tightly.

Continuing to use a damaged cord may result in ﬁre, short circuit, or electric shock.

Do Not Pull or Insert the DC Plug If Your Hands Are Wet Electric shock may result.

Clean the DC Plug of Dust and Other Debris Regularly If dust or other debris accumulates on the plug, humidity, etc. may cause a defect in the insulation, which may result in a ﬁre.

yPull the plug, and wipe it with a dry cloth.

Pull the plug if the computer is not being used for a long period of time.

Insert the AC Plug Completely

If the plug is not inserted completely, ﬁre due to overheating or electric shock may result.

yDo not use a damaged plug or loose AC outlet.

Close the Connector Cover Tightly When Using the Computer Where Is a Lot of Water, Moisture, Steam, Dust, Oily Vapors, etc.

The entry of foreign matter may cause a ﬁre or electric shocks.

yIf foreign matter has found its way inside, immediately turn the power off and unplug the AC cord, and then remove the battery pack. Then contact your technical support of ﬁce.

Do Not Disassemble the Computer

There are high-voltage areas inside which may give you an electric shock if you should touch them. Do not touch the pins and circuit boards inside, and do not allow foreign mat ter to enter inside.

Also, remodeling or disassembly may cause a ﬁre.

Keep SD Memory Cards Away from Infants and Small Children

Accidental swallowing will result in bodily injury.

In the event of accidental swallowing, see a doctor immedi- ately.

Do Not Place the Computer on Unstable Surfaces

If balance is lost, the computer may fall over or drop, result ing in an injury.

Avoid Stacking

If balance is lost, the computer may fall over or drop, result ing in an injury.

Do Not Leave the Computer in High Temperature Envi ronment Such as in a Sun-Heated Car, for a Long Period of Time

Leaving the computer where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures such as in a sun-heated car or in direct sunlight may deform the cabinet and/or cause trouble in the internal parts. Continued use in such a resulting condition may lead to short-circuiting or insulation defects, etc. which may in turn lead to a ﬁre or electric shocks.

Hold the Plug When Unplugging the AC Cord

Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, resulting in a ﬁre or electric shock.

Do Not Move the Computer While the DC Plug Is Con nected

The AC cord may be damaged, resulting in ﬁre or electric shock.

yIf the AC cord is damaged, unplug the DC plug immedi ately.

Use Only the Speciﬁed AC Adaptor With Your Computer Using an AC adaptor other than the one supplied (attached to your computer or supplied by Panasonic) may result in a ﬁre.

Do Not Subject the AC Adaptor to Any Strong Impact
