Manual CD-ROM supplied with your computer. This CD-ROM also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for
the proper operation of the computer.
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s

Instructions for Care and Operation
The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic
fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your
work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.
5. T ake care when using peripheral devices.
Wireless Device Operation Aboard Aircraft
The use of any portable electronic transmission devices aboard aircraft is usually prohibited. Make sure the m odules are OF F if you are
using the computer aboard aircraft.
4 - Instructions for Care and Operation
Concise User’s Guide
English
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international travel bu t it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply.
If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.
• The AC/DC adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety
feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install
one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devic es.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.
Power Safety Warning
Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected all peripherals and cables
(including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on.
Instructions for Care and Operation - 5
Concise User’s Guide
English
Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or
abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.
Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook
which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make
sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s) while the computer is in use.
6 - Instructions for Care and Operation
Concise User’s Guide

Battery Precautions
• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way.
Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any bat tery pack repair or replacement to your se rvice representative or qualified service personnel.
• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully . Batteries
may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.
• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.
• Affix tape to the battery contacts before dispo s ing of the battery.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various
state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials
for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Design Differences
This notebook series includes two different design types, however only one design is pictured in this guide.
System Software
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP etc.) and applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and database programs) have their own manuals, so please consult the appropriate manuals. Your computer may already come with
system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Further information on
installing the drivers and utilities is available in Chapters 4 & 7 of the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers
& User’s Manual CD-ROM.
Drivers
If you are installing/re-installing new system software, you will need to install the appropriate drivers. Driv ers are programs which
act as an interface between the computer and a hardware component e.g. a wireless network module. It is very important that
you install the drivers in the order listed in Table 5, on page 27. You will be unable to use most advanced controls until the
necessary drivers and utilities are properly install ed.

Windows XP Start Menu & Control Panel
Most of the control panels, utilities and programs within Windows XP (and most other Windows versions) are accessed from the Start menu. When you install programs and utilities they will be installed on your hard disk drive, and a
shortcut will usually be placed in the Start menu and/or the desktop. You can customize the look of the Start menu
by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Properties from the menu.
In many instances throughout this manual you will see an instruction to open the Control Panel. The Control Panel
is accessed from the Start menu, and it allows you to configure the settings for most of the key features in Windows
(e.g. power, video, network, audio etc.). Windows XP provides basic controls for many of the features, however many
new controls are added (or existing ones are enhanced) when you install the drivers listed in Table 5, on page 27. To
see all controls it may be necessary to toggle off Category View.
