Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To pre­vent this, follow these suggestions:
Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the
case and the components could be damaged.
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
English
computer could be badly damaged.
Avoid interfer ence. Keep the computer away from high capacity
transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
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.
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. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the fo l­lowing conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to any 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.
Safety Information
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• 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.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on.
• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner directly to the computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qualified service personnel.
• Note that in computer’s 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 service cen­ter.

Polymer 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 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 a ccording to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note the following information which is specific to polymer batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general battery precaution information.
• Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling, however this is part of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not a cause for concern.
• Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries. Do not use polymer batteries in high ambient temperature envi­ronments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.

Driver Installation

Driver Installation General
Guidelines
As a general guide follow the default on-screen instruc­tions for each driver (e.g. Next > Next > Finish) unless you are an advanced user. In many cases a restart is re­quired to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g. WLAN or Bluetooth) are ON before installing the appropri­ate driver.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers make sure you enable Win- dows Update in order to get all the latest security updates etc. (all updates will include the latest hotfixes from Mi- crosoft).
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).
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation of the computer. This setup will probably have al­ready been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click Install Drivers (button), or Option Drivers (button) to access the Optional driver menu. Install the drivers in the order indicated in Figure 17. Click to select the drivers you wish to install (you should note down the drivers as you install them). Note: If you need to reinstall any driver, you should uninstall the driver first
If the Found New Hardware wizard appears during the installation procedure, click Cancel to close the window, and follow the installation procedure as directed.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth modules cannot be detected.
English
The PC Camera module cannot be detected.
The captured video files from the PC Camera are taking up too much disk space.
The modules are off as the computer is in Airplane Mode. Check the LED in dicator and/or function key indicator to see if it is in Airplane Mode (see Table 2 on page 7). Use the Fn + F11 key combination to toggle Airplane Mode on/off (see Table 3 on page 9).
The module is off. Press the Fn + F10 key comb inati on in order to enab le th e module (see
Table 3 on page 9). Run the camera application to view the camera picture.
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space for each file.
Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of 16GB (32bit) or 20GB (64bit) of free space on the C: drive system partition. It is recommended that you save the capture video file to a location other than the C:drive, limit the file size of the captured video or reduce video resolution.
