Proper Setup and Placement Tips

It’s important that your computer be set up correctly and
according to your own comfort and ergonomic needs. The
following tips should make your workstation a comfortable
and healthy place:

Monitor Level. Position your computer so that it is at arm’s
length away and the top third of the monitor viewing area is
at eye level. This helps prevent eye and neck strain. To further
reduce eye strain, close your eyes and refocus on something
other than your computer screen at least twice an hour. Most
monitors come standard with a detachable tilt-and-swivel base
and adjustable, rear-mounted foot, which allow you to position
the monitor exactly where you want it.

Your Seat.If you plan to use your Acer com puter for extended
periods (for exam ple, in a home office envi ron ment), select a
h igh ly adj ustable office chair with a five - pronged base. The seat
and chair back shou ld be adj ustable, wh i le you ’re sitti ng in the
chai r, for height and ti lt, and forward / backward position i ng, and
the lumbar area of the back shou ld be su pported by the chai r
adj ustments or a cush ion. Arm rests shou ld conform to you r
el bow height and shou lder width and shou ld be used for su p­port. For maximum comfort, vary positions frequently th rough­out the day. Use good postu re when seated, keep your head
centered over your shou lders and, just like your mother always
told you, don’t slump over your work.

Anti - Glare Coati ng. Some mon itor screens are constructed
with a special anti - glare coati ng, wh ich minimizes reflections that
cause eye strain and discomfort. To fu rther red uce eye strai n ,
close your eyes and refocus on someth i ng other than your com­puter screen at least twice an hour .

Task Lighting. When room lighting is dimmed, there may
be insufficient light on documents or reference materials for
comfortable reading. A well-lit room or a few directional,
adjustable task lights will allow you to see your monitor screen
and other materials clearly, and with the least amount of strain.

Hand and Wrist. Keep your wrists straight and your forearms
parallel to the floor while you are typing. If you use a wrist rest,
use it only briefly for resting. Do not rest your hands on the
table or on the wrist rest while you are typing. During long
periods of typing, frequent breaks are recommended.

Setting Up Your Aspire

Refer to the Aspire Easy Setup Poster included in your system
box for details on how to set up your computer.

Turning Your Aspire On and Off

You have two options for turning your Aspire on and off. Your
Aspire was designed for you with convenience in mind. The
Quickstart option allows your computer to instantly turn on
and off, without waiting for a long start-up time. If you like the
traditional approach better, you can use it instead.

Turning on your Aspire

Note: Make sure that the AC master power switch located on the

back of your system is in the ON position. Leave it ON at all times
unless the system is being serviced.

1 • Press and release the monitor power button if it is not on
or blinking already.

2 • Press and release the computer power button (Quickstart
or traditional start).

The monitor will begin displaying images after 5-10 seconds.
The power button lights on the computer and monitor will
be on.

Note: If you previously used Quickstart OFFwhen you were done
using your Aspire, your computer will return exactly where it was in
just a couple of seconds. If you previously shut down Windows
Millenium Edition (Me), your computer will take 2-3 minutes to start.

Turning off your Aspire
Option 1: Quickstart OFF • Your Aspire will continue to run

in the Quickstart OFF condition. It will appear that it is OFF.
When you press the power button to switch your Aspire to
the fully ON condition, it will do it in only a few seconds.

Option 2: Traditional OFF • If you want your Aspire to com­pletely power OFF (if you need to unplug it):

1 • Click on the Windows Start button on the taskbar.
2 • Click on Shut Down.
3 • Click on Shut Down the Computer and click Yes. Your

computer will guide you through saving any open files and
then will shut down Windows Me. Your computer will then
turn off all computer power automatically. You will have to
manually turn off your monitor after you see the computer
power go off.

The Mouse

The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in
many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an
arrow.

Your mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button.
Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called
clicking. Sometimes you will need to double-click–or click the
same button twice quickly.

In this manual, click means to position your mouse point on
an icon and to single click the left button. When a right click is
required, this is stated clearly. Double-click also refers to the
left button.

The ratchet wheel in between the two buttons is added to
provide easier scrolling capability. By simply moving the wheel
with your index finger, you can quicky move through multiple
pages, line, or windows. The wheel may also function as a
third button allowing you to quickly click or double-click an
icon or a selected item

Note: If you are left-handed, please refer to your Windows Me manu­al for instructions on how to set up your mouse for left-handed use.

Right Button

Ratchet Wheel

Left Button

Caring for
your Mouse

Pointer movement on the
screen is controlled by the
movement of a small ball
on the bottom of the
mouse.
Using a mouse pad under
your mouse will help to
keep the internal parts of
the mouse clean. A dirty
mouse results in jerky
pointer movement and dif­ficulty getting the pointer
where you want it on
screen.

To clean your mouse:

1 • Turn the mouse upside

down.

2 • Remove the ring holding

the ball in place by turning
it counterclockwise.

3 • Using a lint-free cloth or a

cotton swab dipped in rub­bing alcohol, clean all mov­ing parts.

4 • Insert the ball back into

the mouse, making sure to
turn the ring clockwise.

The Keyboard

The way keys are used varies from program to program. Here
are some of the most common uses:

Esc key • exits the current action, screen, or program.
Tab key • moves the cursor over a set number of spaces in

word processing software. In other types of programs, it moves
the cursor from one field (an area on the screen where data
can be entered) to the next.

Enter key • starts a new paragraph in word processing. In other
programs, it accepts data entered or shows that an action is
complete.

Shift key • pressing this key while typing a letter or symbol key
will give you the capital letter or symbol on the top of the key.

Caps Lock key • locks the capital letters in place. Pressing it
again will take the Caps Lock off. (A Caps Lock indicator light
will turn on when the Caps Lock is on.)

Function keys • numbered F1 through F12, each will perform a
specific and well-defined function, should an application use
them.

Cursor Arrow keys • move the cursor in the directions that
the arrows point.

Insert key • when activated, inserts data vs. typing over/
replacing it.

Delete key • will delete data that is highlighted or to the right
of the cursor.

Home key • takes you to the beginning of a line.

Function

Delete

End key • takes you to the end of a line.
Page Up / Page Down keys • move you up or down a screen

at a time.
Backspace key • is similar to the delete key above, but it will

delete one character at a time to the left of the cursor.
Alt and Ctrl keys • have varying functions on their own or

when used with other keys, depending on the software being
used.

Num Lock key and numeric key pad • when the Num
Lock/Num Pad key is on, the keys on the numeric key pad can
be used for entering numbers. When it’s off, these keys become
arrow keys, page up and page down keys–as indicated on the
bottom half of the key.

The Monitor

Refer to the manual that came with your Aspire monitor for
more information on the monitor features.

The Speakers

Your system comes with a uniquely-designed set of speakers
that can be attached to the monitor.

To connect the speakers to the monitor:
1 • Locate the left and right speaker brackets that came with

your speaker package.

2 • Locate the brackets on the sides of your Aspire monitor.
3 • Align and insert the holdfasts on the speakers into the key

holes. Then slide the speakers down to secure them to the
brackets. See the following figure:

Unlike ordinary speakers, the speakers that came with your
Aspire system do not use a power adapter. Instead, it shares
power with your system via the PS/2 connector.

Connect the speakers to your system as shown in the following
figure:

Drives on Your Computer

Whether it’s the software program that you bought from your
local computer store or the shopping list you just typed up
using your word processor, all information in a computer is
stored electronically.

To save (write) data or retrieve (read) data, the computer uses
a drive. There are different ways to store data, and every differ­ent type of data storage has a specific drive.

Three different types of drives come with your Acer computer:

The Hard Drive

Your fixed or hard drive is located inside your computer. This
drive is typically called the C: drive in Windows Me.

12

An Introduction to Your Aspire

13

The Floppy Drive

This drive uses removable 3.5-inch floppy disks and is called the
A: drive.

The CD-ROM Drive

The CD ROM drive uses CDs (Compact Discs) instead of flop­py disks, and it is Read Only Memory, which means that the
computer can read data from the disc, but cannot write any­thing new on it. It is typically called the D: drive. On some
computers, the CD-ROM may be another drive letter. Please
refer to My Computer for the current drive letter assignment
on your Windows Me desktop.

The DVD-ROM Drive

The DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc
Read Only Memory) is a new type of CD-ROM. It can hold
capacities ranging from 4.7 GB to a maximum if 17 GB, and can
support access rates from 600 Kilobytes per second to 1.2
Megabytes per second. It is backward-compatible with CD­ROMs which means that DVD players can play not only DVD­ROMs, but old CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, video CDs, and CD-R
disks as well. DVD uses MPEG-2 to compress video data.

CD-ROM/

DVD-ROM

Drive

Note: All of the information you save on your hard drive takes up
space, so you will want to clean it up periodically to maintain the best
performance.

Refer to My Aspire Guide for more information on scanning and ana­lyzing the information on your hard drive.

Using Your Floppy Drive

Floppy disks are used for putting data into your computer or
for taking it out.

1 • Insert the floppy disk into the drive, as shown. (The metal

circle on the disk’s underside should be facing down.)

2 • Push it in gently until it pops into place.
3 • Remove the floppy disk by pressing the eject button.

Why Disks?
(Or Discs, For
that Matter...)

The advantage of a floppy
disk or CD is that it makes
data portable.
Practically all newly pur­chased software comes in
one of these two formats.
Data is often exchanged
between computers on
floppy disks. Be aware that
there is an inherent danger
of virus infection in casual
swapping or sharing of
floppy disks with your
friends and associates. Files,
applications or programs
downloaded from the
Internet also carry possible
danger. Refer to page 30 for
more information.

Write Protecti ng
a Floppy Diskette

When the write protect
notch is open, data cannot
be written to (saved on)
the disk. The notch must
be closed for data to be
written to (copied on) the
disk.
Write protecting diskettes
is a good way to keep
them safe from viruses,
should you use them in a
different computer.

Formatting a Floppy Diskette

A floppy disk is, basically, just a thin piece of magnetic tape on
which data can be stored electronically. Most floppy disks are
protected with a hard plastic case.

Before a floppy can be used, it must be formatted, or made
ready to accept data.

Note: Many stores sell pre-formatted 3.5” floppy disks.

1 • Make sure your floppy is not write-protected. (See sidebar

for instructions).

2 • Insert the diskette into your floppy drive.
3 • Click on the Start button, point to Programs, and click

on Windows Explorer.

4 • Point to 3.5” Floppy (A:) under My Computer.
5 • Click on the right mouse button, then select Format.
6 • Click on Start.

Cautions:

• Formatting a disk removes any data that might have been

saved on that disk.

• Be sure to keep your disks away from heat and other magnet­ic items that can damage the disk and the information on it.

Using Your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive

Unlike floppy disks, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs can be used
only for putting data into your computer. Your Acer computer
can use two types of CD-ROM discs: audio discs or data discs.

Data CDs can hold a lot of information and very large pro­grams. One CD can hold more information than is contained
on 450 floppy diskettes.

Press the eject button to manually open or close the CD tray.
To insert a CD or a DVD, place it in the tray with the title side
facing up, then press the CD eject button to close it.

Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for a disc to stop spinning before
the drive opens up. If you try to run the software when you first insert
the CD (or DVD) and you get an error message like Drive Not Ready,
wait a few seconds, then try again.

Note: Your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive will probably emit a sound
like that of a fan. Unless you are having other problems with your
drive, you should not be concerned.

Caring for
your CDs and
DVDs

A CD/DVD has two sides:

• The title side tells you
which CD/DVD it is.

• The data side stores all the
data.

CDs and DVDs are fragi le,
so when hand l i ng your CD s
or DVDs, hold them by the
edges to avoid leavi ng
sm udges or fi ngerpri nts.
Always keep them in a disc
case when not in use to
avoid scratches or other
damage. Any ki nd of dirt or

damage can affect the data
on the disc, impair the disc
lens reader on the CD - ROM
and DV D - ROM drives, or
stop the com puter from suc ­cessfu lly read i ng the disc.

To clean your CDs and
DVDs, use a clean, dust­free cloth and wipe in a
straight line from the cen­ter to the edge. Continue
around the whole disc.
(DONOT wipe in a circle.)
You can also periodically
clean your CD-ROM/DVD­ROM drive to prevent
problems from reading
CDs/DVDs on your com­puter. For more informa­tion, refer to the Cleaning
Kit that came with your
system.
