Do not use damaged power cords, accessories, or other peripherals. Do not use strong solvents such as thinners, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the surface.
Disconnect the AC power and remove the battery pack(s) before cleaning. Wipe the Eee PC using a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of nonabrasive detergent and a few drops of warm water and remove any extra moisture with a dry cloth.
DO NOT place on uneven or unstable work surfaces. Seek servicing if the casing has been damaged.
DO NOT expose to dirty or dusty environments. DO NOT operate during a gas leak.
DO NOT press or touch the display panel. Do not place together with small items that may scratch or enter the Eee PC.
DO NOT leave the Eee PC on your lap or any part of the body to prevent discomfort or injury from heat exposure.
SAFE TEMP: This Eee PC should only be used in environments with ambient temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F)
DO NOT place or drop objects on top and do not shove any foreign objects into the Eee PC.
DO NOT expose to strong magnetic or electrical fields.
DO NOT expose to or use near liquids, rain, or moisture. DO NOT use the modem during electrical storms.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Eee PC
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Eee PC for transport, you should close the display panel to protect the keyboard and display panel.
The Eee PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be careful not to rub or scrape surfaces when transporting your Eee PC. You can put your Eee PC in a carrying case for protection from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the Eee PC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Eee PC on the airplane. Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.
ASUS Eee PC
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Eee PC and diskettes through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Eee PC or diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

Power System
Using AC Power
The Eee PC power comprises two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Eee PC. Your Eee PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter to connect the provided US­standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages before travelling.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’ s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges.
3-2
THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on territory to fit your wall outlet. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Eee PC.

Eee PC or use the Eee PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the Eee PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
Using Battery Power
The Eee PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through an Eee PC retailer. Remember to fully charge the battery before first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Eee PC may not have its battery pack installed. If not, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.
Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the Eee PC is turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working data.
To install the battery pack:
Only use battery packs and power adapters supplied with this Eee PC or specifically approved by the manufacturer or retailer
ASUS Eee PC
for use with this model or else damage may occur to the Eee PC.
To remove the battery pack:
3-3
Battery Care
The Eee PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Eee PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the Eee PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Eee PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.
For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in fire, DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the Eee PC and contact an authorized service center.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Emergency Shutdown & Reset
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there are additional ways to shutdown and reset your Eee PC:
Shutdown: Hold the power button until the system shuts
down.
Reset: Press the reset button .
ASUS Eee PC
Use a pin or a straightened paper clip to press the reset button.
DO NOT use emergency shutdown/reset while data is being written or read; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data.

Touchpad Usage
Single-finger gesture input
Clicking/Tapping - With the pointer over an item, press the left
button or use your fingertip to touch the touchpad lightly, keeping your finger on the touchpad until the item is selected. The selected item will change color. The following 2 illustrations produce the same results.
Double-clicking/Double-tapping - This is a common skill for launching a program directly from the corresponding icon you select. Move the pointer over the icon you wish to execute, press the left button or tap the pad twice in rapid succession, and the system launches the corresponding program. If the interval between the clicks or taps is too long, the operation will not be executed. The following 2 illustrations produce the same results.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Dragging - Dragging means to pick up an item and place it anywhere on the screen you wish. You can move the pointer over the item you select, and while keeping the left button depressed, moving the pointer to the desired location, then release the button. Or, you can simply double-tap on the item and hold while dragging the item with your fingertip. The following illustrations produce the same results.
Multi-finger gesture input
Two-finger scrolling - Use two
fingertips to slide up or down on the touchpad to scroll a window up or down. If your display window includes several sub-windows, move the pointer on that pane before scrolling.
