AC Power

Use the AC adapter to run your computer on AC power and charge the battery. To connect the AC adapter:
Connect the power cord to the transformer pack. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Connect the AC adapter to the AC power adapter jack of the com-
puter.

Battery Power

Make sure the battery is fully charged before rst use. The battery power status indicator will ash when the battery is low. Connect the AC adapter as instructed above to charge the battery.

www.cobyusa.com Page 13
Basic Operation
The components and programs on your computer consume
power at dierent rates. Using power-intensive components/ programs will cause the battery to drain faster.
Your computer’s operating system may run more slowly when
operating on battery power.
Use only approved battery packs to power your computer. Us-
ing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of re or ex­plosion.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. A
battery pack other than the one specied by us, or a disassem­bled or modied battery pack, is not covered by the warranty.
When disposing of the battery, comply with local ordinances
and regulations. Do not attempt to dispose of the battery in your household trash.

Page 18 Coby Electronics Corporation
www.cobyusa.com Page 19
Features

Using the Internet

Your computer comes with LAN port for Ethernet connection or local area network (LAN), as well as a built-in wireless connection.

LAN Port

The LAN port supports a standard RJ- connector, and allows you to con­nect the computer to an Ethernet connection and local area network (LAN).
Do not attempt to connect a telephone cable (types RJ11, RJ14,
RJ25, RJ61) to the LAN port. Doing so may short-circuit your computer.

Wireless

An isotropic antenna system is built into the display for optimal recep­tion, enabling wireless communication wherever you are. To connect to the internet wirelessly, press Fn + F. The computer will automatically search and connect to an available network.

Installing Device Drivers

A compatible device driver is required to ensure correct operation and performance of each component in your computer.
Most installations require a reboot to update the driver. Be sure to
perform this step when prompted.
Failing to reboot may compromise the system’s stability and re-
quire reinstallation of the operating system.
www.cobyusa.com Page 19

External Devices

Your computer includes multiple connection ports for maximum perfor­mance and productivity.
Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB cables while the computer power is on. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least ve seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.

Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Device

Your computer comes with three Universal Serial Bus Ports compatible with USB . or USB . devices such as a keyboard, mouse, camera, hard disk drive, printer, and scanner. USB devices may be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping), and al­low specic classes of hardware to be used without requiring individual device drivers to be installed.
When using a high power consumption USB device such as a
USB HDD, use an external device power adapter to avoid system damage.
Connecting an External Display
You can connect a VGA monitor via the computer’s built-in VGA port. To connect a VGA monitor, plug the -pin display cable into the corre­sponding VGA port on your computer.
To shift to other connected display devices, press Fn + F. You may also select a device using the Control Panel > Display menu.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Display
Computer does not turn on. If using AC power, check that the AC adapter is securely connect-
ed to the computer and the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.

Computer turns on, but there is no screen image.
Screen goes blank while the computer is on.
A number appears when you enter a letter.
All or some of the keys on the external numeric keypad do not work.
Conrm that the screen brightness level is not at its minimum setting. (To increase brightness, press Fn +F7.)
If using battery power, check that the battery is installed cor­re ctly.
If using AC power, check that the AC adapter is connected to the computer and the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Sleep/Hibernation Mode
The computer enters sleep mode unexpectedly.
The critical low-battery er­ror message appears, and the computer immediately turns o.
The computer does not return from sleep mode, or the sleep indicator stays on and the computer does not work.
Check that the battery is charged. If the processor overheats, the computer will automatically enter
sleep mode to allow the computer to cool and to protect the pro­cessor and other internal components. Check that the computer is properly ventilated and not hot to the touch.
Check the sleep mode settings. The computer enters sleep mode (the sleep indicator turns on) immediately after Power-on self­test (POST).
Connect the AC adapter to the computer, or replace the battery with a fully charged one.
Check the sleep indicator light to conrm that your system is in sleep mode. If it has turned o, your computer has gone into hibernation mode. Press the power button to exit hibernation mode.
Check that the battery is charged. A depleted battery will cause the computer to automatically enter hibernation mode. If the battery is depleted, connect to AC power and press the power button to exit hibernation mode.
If the system still does not return from sleep mode, your system has stopped responding. Reset the computer by pressing and holding the Power button for 4 seconds or more. Unsaved data may be lost.
If the computer fails to reset, unplug the AC adapter and remove, then reinsert, the battery.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The screen is unreadable or distorted.
Incorrect characters appear on the screen.
Missing, discolored, or bright dots appear on the screen every time you turn on your computer.
No sound can be heard from the speaker even when the volume is turned up.
Check that screen resolution and color quality are correctly set. Check that the monitor type is correct. This information is avail-
able under the menu Display Settings Monitor. Conrm that the display device driver is installed correctly. This
information is available under the menu Personalize Display Settings Advanced Settings Adapter. The Adapter Informa­tion window should display the correct device driver name. NOTE: The device driver name depends on the video chip that has been installed on your computer. Click the Properties button and check the “Device status” box to conrm that the device is working properly. If not, click the Troubleshoot button.
Check that your application and operating system are correctly installed.
Check that the surface of the screen is not scratched or damaged. If there is no visible damage, these small idiosyncrasies are a standard element of TFT screen technology and will not aect the computer’s performance.
Sound
Conrm that the Mute function is o. Check that no external device, such as a headphone or speaker, is
plugged into the audio output (headphone) jack. Check that speakers are selected as a playback device.
www.cobyusa.com Page 25
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Battery
Your computer shuts down before the battery status in­dicator turns on, or continues to operate after the battery status indicator lights.
The operating time for a fully charged battery is short, or the computer does not operate with a fully charged battery.
The battery does not charge.
The hard disk drive does not work.
The computer does not respond.
Remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the battery.
Remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the battery.
The surge protector in the battery might be active. Turn o the computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on the computer again.
Replace the battery.
Hard Drive
In the Boot menu in AMI Setup Utility, make sure that the hard disk drive is included in the Boot Sequence.
Other Problems
Turn o the computer by pressing and holding the power button for 4 seconds or more. If the computer still does not respond, remove the AC adapter and the battery.
Your computer may lock if it enters sleep mode during a commu­nication operation. To prevent this from happening, disable the sleep timer when you are working on the internet or network.
For your safety, never attempt to repair the device yourself. Attempting to do so will invalidate the warranty. Internal components of the device carry a risk of electric shock.
