Getting Started

Saving Data on the Hard Disk

Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use them regularly.

We recommend you run the software:
• When booting your computer.
• After receiving data.
We recommend that you check data received on disks or from external sources, such as data downloaded
from the Internet, e-mail, etc.  (For compressed files, uncompress them before running a check).

Computer Viruses

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 off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator ( ) is on.

Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems.

Save all valuable data to floppy disks.

Backing up data to floppy 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.

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, since a password is also set for the hard disk.  When the hard
disk is returned to the original computer, you can read and 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 complete protection of data.) (

 

 "Security Measures")

Do not power down your computer or press the disk eject button while the MP indicator (

) is on.

Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless.

Use care when handling floppy disks.

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.
• Applying more than one label on the floppy disk.

Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.

Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased.

Use the write-protect tab.

This is a must for preserving impor-
tant data.  This prevents your data
from being erased or overwritten.

Saving Data on Floppy Disks

Immediately after the computer is turned off or enters the standby mode, you may notice a black pattern
appearing temporarily at the edges of the display.  This is a characteristic of the transflective display and is
not a malfunction.

(Only for models with 12.1 type LCD)

When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device

When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, completely erase all data on the hard disk in order
to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Win-
dows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data
erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use special software (sold separately).
Also note that transferring ownership of this device without deleting software from the hard disk may
violate software user’s licenses.
