Precautions ( Battery Pack )

Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of liquid leakage, overheating, or bursting.
Avoid Heat Do not throw the battery pack into a fire or expose it to excessive heat.
Keep Articles Away Do not place the battery pack together with articles such as necklaces or hairpins when carrying or storing.
Do Not Disassemble Do not insert sharp objects into the battery pack, expose it to bumps or shocks, deform, disassemble, or modify it.
Do Not Short Do not short the positive (+) and negative (-) contacts.
Avoid Extreme Heat, Cold and Direct Sunlight Do not charge, use or leave the battery pack for extended periods where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, in a hot place (in an automobile on a sunny day, for example), or in a cold place.
Do Not Use With Any Other Computer The battery pack is rechargeable and was intended for the specified computer or charger. Do not use it with a computer other than the one for which it was designed.
Do Not Put into a Microwave Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or a pressurized chamber.
Discontinue Use Should the battery emit an abnormal odor, become hot to the touch, become discolored, change shape, or become in any way different from normal, remove it from the computer or charger and discontinue use.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged. Do not expose the battery pack to water, or allow it to become wet.

If the battery pack will not be used for a long period of time (a month or more), charge or discharge (use) the battery pack until the remaining battery level becomes 30% to 40% and store it in a cool, dry place. This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity. The battery pack is not charged when the computer is first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adapter is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically. Should the battery leak and the fluid get into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical treatment as soon as possible.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is completely normal. Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C {32°F to 122 °F})
“Battery Power”. Once the allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging begins automatically. Note that the recharging time varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 °C {50 °F} or less.) If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the computer within the allowable temperature range. The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the computer can be run off a particular battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and repeated rechargings do not restore its performance, the battery pack should be replaced with a new one. When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or bag, it is recommended that it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected. Always power off the computer when it is not in use. Leaving the computer on when the AC adapter is not connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity.

When the computer fails to work properly or system files on the hard disk are deleted, the

computer can be returned to factory condition by performing the “Reinstallation” procedure.

Important: To perform the “Reinstallation” procedure ( page21), it is necessary to create a

backup disk prior to any trouble. (

“Creating BACKUP DISKS”)

A backup disk cannot be created after reinstallation becomes necessary. Therefore, be sure to create a backup disk soon after purchasing your computer, and store the disk in a safe location along with the supplied Windows 95 System Pack.

Retail Version of Windows 95

When using the files in the following folders available on the retail version of the Windows 95 CD-ROM, it is necessary to run a separate file decompression program.

admin

datalink

drivers

help

other

To uncompress the file, it is necessary to have about 75 MB of free disk space on the hard disk.

The floppy disk drive (CF-VFDU01)1 and the port replicator (CF-VEB341)1 to connect the

FDD, and a CD-ROM drive (purchased separately) are necessary. Create the “FIRSTAID FD”

with the CD-ROM drive in use.

*1 indicates to be purchased separately. (

“Creating BACKUP DISKS”)

File decompression method: 1 Turn off the computer. 2 Attach the port replicator*2 , floppy disk drive, and CD-ROM drive. 3 Insert the FIRSTAID FD. 4 Turn on the computer. 5 At the confirmation message, select [No].
6 Insert the Product Recovery CD-ROM. At the prompt, input the following: L:enaddfile Enter
Follow the message on the screen.
After this program is executed, the contents of the above folders will be decompressed to the c:utilwin95add folder.

Two quick taps, but on the second tap leaving your finger down (applying pressure) and moving it on the work surface.

While holding down the button, moving your finger on the work surface.

Handling the Touch Pad
When using a key combination such as Fn + F5 , do not touch the touch pad. If a key combination is used while the pad is being touched, the function of the key combination will not work. In addition, it is possible that control of the cursor will be lost and the cursor will not show proper movements. In such cases, the computer has to be restarted by using the keyboard (e.g., ). Do not place any object on the work surface or press down forcefully with sharp- pointed objects (i.e. nails), hard objects that can leave marks (i.e. pencils and ball point pen). Do not allow things that could dirty the touch pad, such as oil. The cursor may not work properly in such cases. When the touch pad becomes dirty: Wipe to remove dirty areas by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung. Do not use benzene or thinner, or disinfectant-type alcohol.
