Customer's Record Model No.* Dealer's Name Serial No. or Dealer's Address Code No. Date of Purchase * For the Model No., insert the 12 digit number (for example, CF-P1P3CDZ6M) located on the back of the computer. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Handheld Computer. Read the operating instructions thoroughly for proper operation of your new computer. Illustrations and Terminology in this Manual NOTE: CAUTION: NOTE provides a useful fact or helpful information.
Read Me First For U.S.A. Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Read Me First For U.K. Warning This apparatus must be earthed for your safety. To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
How to replace the fuse Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse. Warnings This equipment is not designed for connection to an IT power system. (An IT system is a system having no direct connections between live parts and Earth; the exposedconducive-parts of the electrical installation are earthed. An IT system is not permitted where the computer is directly connected to public supply systems in the U.K.
Precautions The CF-P1 was developed based on thorough research into real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such as the magnesium alloy exterior and flexible internal connections. The CF-P1's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810F (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.
Handling (continued) Always carry your computer with you when traveling. Never check it in with luggage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on this issue. It is a good idea to make backup copies on SD memory cards/MultiMedia Cards and carry them with you. Battery Pack Care should be exercised with regard to the following in order to avoid the possibility of over-heating, fire, or damage.
Precautions About High Temperature Mode This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of the battery in high temperature environments. We recommend setting the high temperature mode function when installing the computer in a car, etc. To do this, set [Charging mode:] in - [Settings] - [System] tab - [Panasonic Settings] - [Charging Mode] tab*1 to [High Temperature]. In the high temperature mode, the full charge capacity of battery becomes approximately 70 %.
