XIII

Preface



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 Vents/Fan Intakes to be blocked. To pre vent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the Vent/Fan Intakes while the computer is in use.

Travel Considerations

As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.

2. Power off the computer and peripherals.

3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.

4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.

5. The AC/DC adapter uses volt ages from 100 to 240 volt s so you won’t need a second volt age adapter. However,

check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.

6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.

7. If you’re taking any perip herals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters

and/or cables.

8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both

hardware and software. Make sure your “papers” are handy.

XIV

Preface

On the Road

In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshooting, keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook - For security, don’t let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is very common. Don’t check it with normal luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knocking the computer against hard objects.

Beware of Electromagnetic fields - Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray machines can damage the computer, hard disk, floppy disks, and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to turn it on). Note: Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.

Fly safely - Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in flight. These restrictions are for your safety, follow them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make sure it’s secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.

Get power where you can - If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC/DC adapter and keep your battery(ies) charged.

Keep it dry - If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate.

Preface

Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in fron t of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain:

• Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.

• Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if necessary.

• Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.

• Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles when you are working.

• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.

Remember to:

• Alter your posture frequently.

• Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.

• Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than fewer and longer breaks.

XVI

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.

• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.

• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.

LCD Screen Care

To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

• Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idle time.

• Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long).

• Rotate desktop background images every few days.

• Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.

LCD Electro-Plated Logos

Note that in computers featuring a raised LCD electro-plated logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time and the exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other items in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your distributor/supplier.

Notes

Check the light colored boxes with the mark above to find detailed information about the computer’s features.

Quick Start Guide

Advanced Users

If you are an advanced user you may skip over most of this Quick Start Guide. However you may find it useful to refer to “Drivers & Utilities” on page 4 - 1 and “BIOS Utilities” on page 5 - 1 in the User’s Manual. You may also find the notes marked with a

 of interest to you.

Beginners and Not-So-Advanced Users

If you are new to computers (or do not have an advanced knowledge of them) then the information contained in this Quick Start Guide should be enough to get you up and running. Eventually you should try to look through all the documentation (more detailed descriptions of the functions, setup and system controls are covered in the remainder of the User’s Manual), but do not worry if you do not understand everything the first time. Keep this manual nearby and refer to it to learn as you go. You may find it useful to refer to the notes marked with a

 as indicated in the margin.

For a more detailed description of any of the interface ports and jacks see “Interface

(Ports & Jacks)” on page A - 1.

Warning Boxes

No matter what your level please pay careful attention to the warning and safety information indicated by the

 symbol. Also please note the safety and handling instructions as indicated in the Preface.

Drivers

If you are installing new system software, or are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will need to install the appropriate drivers. Drivers 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 4 - 1, on page 4

- 4. You will be unable to use most advanced controls until the necessary drivers and utilities are properly installed. If your

system hasn’t been properly configured (your service representative may have already done that for you), refer to “Drivers

& Utilities” on page 4 - 1 for installation instructions.

Ports and Jacks

See “Ports and Jacks” on page A - 2 for a description of the interface (ports & jacks) which allow your computer to communicate with external devices, connect to the internet etc.

Not Included

Operating Systems (e.g. Windows 10) and applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and database programs) have their own manuals, so please consult the appropriate manuals.

Windows OS

Note that the information included on the following pages is for Windows 10 only. In order to run Windows 10 (64-bit) your computer requires a minimum 4GB of system memory (RAM).

Quick Start Guide

System Software

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 the Windows 10 (64-bit) operating system is supported.

Chapter 3: Power Management



OS Note

Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the user’s manual of your operating system.

Power Management

Overview

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. This chapter covers:

• The Power Sources

• Turning On the Computer

• Power Plans

• Power-Saving States

• Configuring the Power Buttons

• Battery Information

The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications.

Overview 3 - 1

Power Management



Forced Off

If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the power button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.

The Power Sources

The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.

AC/DC Adapter

Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/ DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.

1. Attach th e AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer.

2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/ DC adapter (make sure you use the adapter when first setting up the computer, as to safeguard the computer during shipping, the battery will be locked to not power the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter).

3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.

4. Press the power button to turn “On”.

Battery

The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge completely before recharging (see “Battery FAQ” on page 3 - 21).

We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the battery, please refer to “Battery Information” on page 3 - 17.

3 - 2 The Power Sources

Turning On the Computer



Power Button as Stand by or Hibernate Button

You can use the OS’s “Power Options” control panel to set the power button to send the system into Stand by or Hibernate mode (see your OS’s documentation, or “Configuring

the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 9 for details).

Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the power button on the front panel.

When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Stand by/Hibernate/ Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options (Hardware and Sound) in the Windows control panel to configure this feature.

Power Plans

Click to Show/Hide additional power plans

Each Windows power plan will also adjust the processor performance of your ma-

chine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).

Choose High performance (you may need to click Show additional plans to view

the High performance plan) for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an AC power source. Choose the Power saver (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) powered.

Power-Saving States



Wake On LAN

Support

Wake-On-LAN is only supported from Sleep or

Hibernate states in Windows.

If you require your computer to wake up from network activity in Windows then make sure that the computer is either in Sleep or Hiber- nate.

Wake-On-LAN is not supported from Shutdown states in Win-

dows.

You can use power-saving states to stop the computer’s operation and restart where you left off. Windows 10 uses the Sleep, Hibernate and Shut Down power-saving states.

Sleep

In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before the system sleeps. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep to save power.

The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file( s) you last used.

If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only a minimum amount of power. After an extended period the system will save all the information to the hard disk and shut the computer down before the battery becomes depleted.

To add Sleep to the Power Menu see “Adding Hibernate/Sleep to the Power

Menu” on page 3 - 10.

Hibernate

Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves

all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost. Hi- bernate will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should put your mobile PC into Hibernate if you will not use the computer for a period of

time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery. To add Hibernate to the Power Menu see “Adding Hibernate/Sleep to the Power Menu” on page 3 - 10.

Shut down

You should Shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware, plan to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from Shut down takes longer than from Sleep or Hibernate.
