fl

 oppy disk drive, 

fl

 exible 

internal connections. The CF-30’s outstanding engineering 

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 han-

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

of Time

Leaving the computer 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 

fi

 re or electric shocks.

Hold the Plug When Unplugging the AC Cord

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

fi

 re 

or electric shock.

to your computer or supplied by Panasonic) may result in a 

fi

 re.

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 

fi

 re.
