Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use
them regularly.
We recommend you run the software:
• After 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).

To prevent theft of data or unauthorized access to the hard disk via a wireless LAN.
If you plan to use wireless LAN functions, we recommend that you do so only after

When Using Peripheral Devices
Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral de-
vices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual,
carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.
Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.
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 condition 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.
When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device
When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, 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 Windows 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 the hard disk data
erase utility (included) ( page 34). (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not
guarantee that data will be completely erased.)
Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial software
that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing agreement for
that software.
When Changing Hard Disk Partitions
When using the hard disk backup function ( page 30), do not divide up the hard disk before
creating a backup area. If you do this, the backup area cannot be created. Divide into the
partition when the backup area is created.
