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

Computer is damaged

Foreign object inside computer

Smoke emitted

Unusual smell emitted

Unusually hot

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

If 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. Connect- ing to a DC/AC converter (inverter) may damage the AC adaptor. 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.

Pull 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 overheat- ing or electric shock may result.

• Do not use a damaged plug or loose AC outlet.

Do Not Place Containers of Liquid or Metal Objects on Top of the Computer

If water or other liquid spills, or if paper clips, coins, or for- eign matter get inside the computer, fire or electric shock may result.

If 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 office.

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 matter to enter inside.

Also, remodeling or disassembly may cause a fire.

Keep SD Memory Cards Away from Infants and Small Chil- dren

Accidental swallowing will result in bodily injury.

In the event of accidental swallowing, see a doctor immediately.

Do Not Place the Computer on Unstable Surfaces

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

Avoid Stacking

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

Do Not Keep the Computer Wherever There is a Lot of Water, Moisture, Steam, Dust, Oily Vapors, etc.

Otherwise, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.

Do Not Leave the Computer in High Temperature Environ- ment 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.

Do Not Block the Ventilation Hole

Otherwise, heat will build up inside, possibly resulting in a fire.

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 Connected

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

If the AC cord is damaged, unplug the DC plug immediately.

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

Using the AC adaptor after a strong impact such as being dropped may result in electric shock, short circuit, or fire.

Take a Break of 10-15 Minutes Every Hour

Using the computer for long periods of time may have det- rimental health effects on the eyes or hands.

Do Not Look into the CD/DVD Drive

Looking directly at the internal laser light source may result in damage to eyesight.

Do Not Use Disks That Are Cracked or Deformed

Because the disks rotate at high speeds, damaged disks may break apart causing injury.

Disks that are not round and disks that have been repaired using adhesives are similarly dangerous, and so should not be used.

Do Not Turn the Volume Up to Loud When Using Head- phones

Listening at high volumes that overstimulate the ear for long periods of time may result in loss of hearing.
