Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before pow-
ering it on again.
When the CPU temperature rises, the computer may not power on to prevent the
CPU from overheating. Should this happen, allow the computer to cool down then
switch the power on again.
If the computer still does not power on, contact Panasonic Technical Support.
NOTE
You may encounter the following situations when the computer is turned on at very
low temperatures. These functions are designed to prevent hard disk drive malfunc-
tions that may occur at low temperatures.
The message "Warming up the system" is displayed, and start-up takes longer than
usual (a few minutes or more).
In this case, wait for the computer to start up.
The power indicator will blink quickly (in green); in this case, the power does not
turn on, or the computer does not resume from standby or hibernation mode.
To restart the computer, leave it in an environment with a temperature of 5°C (41°F)
or more for about an hour, and try turning the power on once more.
