tooth/Wireless WAN
<Only for model with wireless LAN/Bluetooth/Wireless WAN>
l
Before using wireless LAN/Bluetooth/Wireless WAN, make the appropriate se-
curity settings such as data encryption.
nBattery Recalibration
lThe battery recalibration may take a long time due to the large battery capac-
ity. This is not a malfunction.
<When performing “Battery Recalibration” after shutting down Windows>
Full charge: Approximately 2.5 hours (with FZ-VZSU94W) / Approximately
4.5 hours (with FZ-VZSU95W (optional))

Complete discharge: Approximately 2.5 hours (with FZ-VZSU94W) / Approxi-
mately 5.0 hours (with FZ-VZSU95W (optional))
When performing “Battery Recalibration” without shutting down Windows, it may
take more time to charge / discharge.
nSensors
This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor,
magnetic sensor, ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any
software that is compatible.
As the accuracy of each sensor output is dependent on the operating environment
and other conditions, the results should only be used as a reference.
The acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic sensor are located at the bot-
tom left of the LCD. The detection results of each sensor may vary depending on
the display mode, how you are holding the computer, the application software you
are using, and other factors.

18
Useful Information
Handling and Maintenance
lAutomatic brightness adjustment
The computer is equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function
that adjusts the display screen based on the ambient light sensor. You can
conguretheautomaticadjustmentfunctionasfollows.
A Touch (Start) at the lower left, and then touch (Settings) - [System] -
[Display].
B Set [Change brightness automatically when lighting changes] to [On].
A Touch (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Hardware and Sound] - [Power Option].
B Touch [Change plan settings] for the power plan currently used.
C Touch [Change advanced power settings] and double-touch [Display].

automatically.
The ambient light sensor is located at the top of LCD.
The ambient light cannot be detected properly if this area is obstructed or dirty.
lMagnetic sensor
The magnetic sensor on the computer operates by detecting geomagnetism.
Therefore, the magnetic sensor may not function properly and it readings may
be inaccurate, especially in the following environments.
Inside or near steel structures such as buildings or bridges
Inside or near automobiles, or near train power lines
Near metallic furniture or appliances
When the AC adaptor or other peripheral devices are brought closer to the
computer
Nearmagnets,speakers,orotherobjectswithstrongmagneticelds
The magnetic directions indicated by the magnetic sensor may not be accurate
immediatelyafterpurchaseorinenvironmentswithpoormagneticelds.
In such cases, turn on the computer and move it as follows.
A Hold the computer so that its display side is facing the ground and level.
B While keeping the computer level, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise.
C Return the computer to position A, and rotate it 90 degrees or more coun-
terclockwise.
D Return the computer to position A.
E Tilt the computer 90 degrees or more to the left so that the left side of the
computer tilts down.

lTether for Stylus (Optional)
When using the stylus with tether (optional), do not pull the tether with exces-
sive force. The dedicated pen (optional) may hit the computer, person’s body
or other objects when released.
Maintenance
If drops of water or other stains get on the surface of the LCD panel, wipe them off
immediately. Failure to do so may result in staining.
To clean the LCD panel
Use the soft cloth. (For further information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning
the LCD Surface” èOperating Instructions - Reference Manual “Screen Input
Operation”.)
To clean areas other than the LCD panel
Wipe with a soft dry cloth such as gauze. When using detergent, dip a soft cloth in
water-diluted detergent and wring it thoroughly.
CAUTION
lDo not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely af-
fect the surface causing discoloration, etc. Do not use commercially-available
household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful
to the surface.
lDo not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter
inside of the computer and cause malfunction or damage.
l
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe droplets of water from the surface of the unit. Do not
use a microwave to dry the unit. Doing so will result in malfunction or damage.
