Troubleshooting

Appendix

This computer is not intended for use in medical equipment 

including 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 

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

This computer has been designed so as to minimize shock to the 

LCD and hard disk drive, the leakage of liquid (e.g., water) on to 

the keyboard, etc., but no warranty is provided against such trou-

ble. Therefore, as a precision instrument, be extremely careful in 

the handling.

If a Malfunction Occurs, Immediately Unplug the AC Plug

and the Battery Pack

• This product is damaged

• Foreign object inside this product

• Smoke emitted

• Unusual smell emitted

• Unusually hot

Continuing to use this product while any of the above con-

ditions are present may result in fire or electric shock.

• If a malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and 

unplug the AC plug, and then remove the battery pack. 

Then contact your technical support office.

Do Not Touch This Product 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 AC

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 AC Plug If Your Hands Are Wet

Electric shock may result.

Clean Dust and Other Debris of the AC Plug 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 This Product

If water or other liquid spills, or if paper clips, coins, or for-

eign matter get inside this product, fire or electric shock 

may result.

• If foreign matter has found its way inside, immediately 

turn the power off and unplug the AC plug and remove 

the battery pack. Then contact your technical support 

office.

Do Not Disassemble This Product

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 This Product on Unstable Surfaces

If balance is lost, this product may fall over or drop, result-

ing in an injury.

Avoid Stacking

If balance is lost, this product may fall over or drop, result-

ing in an injury.

Do Not Keep This Product Wherever There is a Lot of Water,

Moisture, Steam, Dust, Oily Vapors, etc.

Otherwise, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.

Do Not Leave This Product in High Temperature Environment

Such as in a Sun-Heated Car, for a Long Period of Time

Leaving this product 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 Plug

Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, resulting in a 

fire or electric shock.

Do Not Move This Product While the AC Plug Is Connected

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

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

Use Only the Specified AC Adaptor With This Product

Using an AC adaptor other than the one supplied 

(attached to your product 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 this product for long periods of time may have detri-

mental 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 Discs That Are Cracked or Deformed

Because the discs rotate at high speeds, damaged discs 

may break apart causing injury.

• Discs that are not round and discs 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.
