Power Safety
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 and power cord).
You must also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on.
Before removing the battery disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the computer.
The computer has specific power requirements:
Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.
Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for international travel but 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 power 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 devices.
Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power
supplies (i.e. AC/DC adapter or car adapter).
Do not plug in the power cord if you are wet.
Do not use the power cord if it is broken.
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.

Polymer Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is specific to polymer batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general battery precaution information overleaf.
Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling, however this is part of the battery’s safety mecha-
nism and is not a cause for concern.
Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries. Do not use polymer batteries in high ambient tempera-
ture environments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.
See also the general battery precautionary information overleaf for further information.

General Battery Precautions
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 in to 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 equivalen t type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
Do not remove any batteries from the computer while it is powered on.
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.
If you do not use the battery for an extended period, then remove the battery from the computer for storage.
Recharge the batteries using the computer’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.
Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repa ir or replacemen t to you r service repre sentati ve or qu al-
ified 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.

Preface
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.
Cleaning Instructions
(For Computer Models Supplied with Light Blue Cleaning Cloth) Some computer models in this series come supplied with a light blue cleaning cloth. To clean the computer case with this cloth follow the instructions below:
1. Power off the computer and peripherals.
2. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the computer.
3. Use a little water to dampen the cloth slightly.
4. Clean the computer case with the cloth.
5. Dry the computer with a dry cloth, or allow it time to dry before turning on.
6. Reconnect the AC/DC adapter and turn the computer on.
XII
Travel Considerations
Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a computer which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vents/Fan Intakes to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the Vent/Fan Intakes while the computer is in use.
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 computer in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.
7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse, digital camera and VR Headset), pack them and those
devices’ adapters and/or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or req uire proof of ownersh ip for both hard -
ware and software. Make sure your “papers” are handy.

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 computer - 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, USB drives, 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 computer 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 ke yboard is a t or slightly below the level
of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.
Your knees should be slightly high er 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.

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.
1 - 2 Overview
Quick Start Guide
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.

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
3
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.

Chapter 4: Drivers & Utilities

Driver Installation &
Power
When installing driv­ers make sure your computer is powered by the AC/DC adapter connected to a work­ing power source.
Some drivers draw a significant amount of power during the instal­lation procedure, and if the remaining battery capacity is not adequate this may cause the sys­tem to shut down and cause system problems (note that there is no safety issue involved here, and the battery will be rechargeable within 1 minute).
This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utilities essential to the operation or improvement of some of the computer’s subsystems. The system takes advantage of some newer hardware components for which the latest versions of most available op­erating systems haven’t built in drivers and utilities. Thus, some of the system com­ponents won’t be auto-configured with an appropriate driver or utility during operating system installation. Instead, you need to manually install some system-re­quired drivers and utilities.

What to Install

You will need to attach an external optical CD/DVD device drive, external dis­play and input device (mouse & keyboard) in order to install the drivers from the
Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
The disc contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation of the computer. Table 4 - 1, on page 4 - 4 lists w hat you need to install and it is very im-
portant that the drivers are installed by the method outlined in this chapter, and in the order indicated. Note that the information on the following pages is for Win-
dows 10 (64-bit only).
