If the computer enters the ECO mode or the LCD is closed while the computer is
making a sound, the computer may produce a strange sound, but this does not
indicate a problem.

  

If the computer has not been used for a long period of time, it may produce an

unusual sound at start up.  The sound may continue for a short period of time, but
if the computer starts up in a normal manner, then the problem is not serious.  If,
however, the computer fails to start up, contact Panasonic Technical Support.

Dealing With Problems

Ctrl

   +   

Alt

   +   

Del

    to reboot the computer.

After cutting the power by pressing the sleep switch for more than four seconds,
slide the power switch to power on and open the application again.
If the program no longer works normally, go to [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel]

once again.
