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.
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.

Servicing
Bottom Cover Removal Warning
Do not remove any cover(s) and/or screw(s) for the purposes of device upgrade as this may violate the terms of your
warranty. If you need to replace/remove the hard disk/
RAM/optical device etc., for any reason, please contact
your distributor/supplier for further information.
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.
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.
Polymer Battery Precautions
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).
Figure 13 - Install Drivers
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 13. Click to select the drivers you wish to
install (you should note down the drivers as you install them). Note: If you need to

The captured video files from the PC Camera are taking up too much disk
space.
The modules are off as the computer is inAirplane Mode. Check the LED indicator
to see if it is in Airplane Mode (see Table 2 on page 9). Use the Fn + F11 key

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 20GB (64bit) of free space on theC: 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.
