Windows Update You can use the latest patches and service packs for Windows with the following menus. Do not apply "Driver Updates" even if a message to update a driver appears. If a driver update is required, contact Panasonic Technical Support. ( page 35) [start] - [All Programs] - [Windows Update] When Using Peripheral Devices Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer's specifications. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc. ) . If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly. 20 Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully. Saving Data on the Hard Disk Do not expose your computer to shock. Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software applications and data unusable. Do not power down your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator is on. Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems. Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you inadvertently change or erase data. Use the security function for all important data. ( Reference Manual "Security Measures") Hard Disk Lock When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read/write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee the complete protection of data. ) ( Reference Manual "Security Measures") Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the MP indicator is on. Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless. To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the following: · Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually. · Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field. · Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
