Panasonic cannot guarantee any specifications, technologies, reliabil-
ity, safety (e.g. Flammability/Smoke/Toxicity/Radio Frequency Emis-
sion, etc) requirements related to aviation standards that exceed the
specifications of our COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) products.

This computer is not intended for use in medical equipment in-

cluding life-support systems, air traffic control systems, or other

equipment, devices or systems that are involved with ensuring

human life or safety. Panasonic cannot be held responsible in

any way for any damages or loss resulting from the use of this

computer in these types of equipment, devices or systems, etc.

The CF-29 was developed based on thorough research into the real-

world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usabil-

ity and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such has the

magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy

disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-29’s outstanding engi-

neering 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 handling

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

• Computer is damaged

• Foreign object inside computer

• Smoke emitted

• Unusual smell emitted

• Unusually hot

Continuing to use the computer while any of the above condi-

tions 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. Connecting 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 cir-

cuit, 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 pe-

riod of time.

Insert the AC Plug Completely

If the plug is not inserted completely, fire due to overheating or
electric shock may result.
• Do not use a damaged plug or loose AC outlet.

Close the Connector Cover Tightly When Using the Com-

puter Where  Is a Lot of Water, Moisture, Steam, Dust, Oily

Vapors, etc.

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

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 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 tem-

peratures 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 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 resulting 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 detrimen-

tal health effects on the eyes or hands.
