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 wTite data as before. In this case, however, make
the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they w'ere before the hard disk was removed. (Note that
this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee complete protection of data.)

Computer Viruses
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).
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, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.
• 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 condi­
tion and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) .
• If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.
• Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.
A Characteristic of Transflective Display (Only for models with 12.1 type LCD)
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.
