zNote 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:

•In sleep / standby: Approx. 4.5 days (If “Wake Up from wired LAN” is enabled: 3 days)*2

•In hibernation: Approx.20 days (If “Wake Up from wired LAN” is enabled: 6 days)*2

<For MUI OS model>

Languages other than the one selected at Windows Setup are uninstalled in the background while the computer stays idle.

During this period of time, the following issues may occur. These are caused by the specifications of Windows 7 and are not a malfunction.

•The uninstall process may continue for approximately 3 hours, during which time the computer may become unre- sponsive due to a continuous access to the hard disk, etc. You can restart or shutdown the computer during the pro- cess.

•The message “Configuring Windows features, preparing to configure Windows” may appear for up to about 20 min- utes when shutting down or starting up the computer (including restart). Wait for the computer to shut down or start up normally.

Once the message is no longer displayed, follow the steps below to delete all but the most recent restore point. If you do not delete the restore points, the system files for languages other than the one selected will remain on the disk as backup data for the restore points, and the operation of the computer may become unresponsive.
