GETTING STARTED

Power Sources

Your computer has two types of power source: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC adapter.

CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS

The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery.

Connecting the AC Adapter

1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power

1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.

2. Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to battery power.

NOTE

The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.

ENGLISH

GETTING STARTED

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC.

There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

Low Battery State

When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be

FRANÇAIS

saved once the notebook reaches this point.

CAUTION

Once your note computer goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged

DEUTSCH

ESPAÑOL

ITALIANO

battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and the goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the battery.

To protect your computer from damage, use only the power adapter that came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.

GETTING STARTED

Starting Your Notebook

POWER ON

Suspend/Power On Button

The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need to take an extended break press the button again to turn it off.

CAUTION

When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning and or displays and error message.

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system.

CAUTION

Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk.

Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.

Using the TouchPad

A TouchPad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel.

The TouchPad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and two scroll buttons. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. Finally, the scroll buttons allow you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars.

Clicking

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad once.

Double-Clicking

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad twice.

Dragging

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the TouchPad. First, tap the TouchPad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the TouchPad, and then release your finger. Using the Scroll buttons allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line pages.

module is now complete.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your notebook PC is sturdy and subject to few problems in the field. However, you may encounter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the spot, or problems with peripheral devices, that you can solve by replacing the device. The information in this section helps you isolate and resolve some of these straightforward problems and identify failures that require service.

Identifying the Problem

If you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex troubleshooting:

1. Turn off your notebook.

2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your notebook and to an active AC power source.

3. Make sure that any card installed in the PC Card slot is seated properly. You can also remove the card from the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause of failure.

4. Make sure that any devices connected to the external connectors are plugged in properly. You can also disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as possible causes of failure.

5. Turn on your notebook. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it on.

6. Go through the boot sequence.

7. If the problem has not been resolved, contact your support representative.

Before you place the call, you should have the following information ready so that the customer support representative can provide you with the fastest possible solution:

• Product name

• Product configuration number

• Product serial number

• Purchase date

• Conditions under which the problem occurred

• Any error messages that have occurred
