Things you must remember before working on your computer
Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office.
Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside.
After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature.
Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is overheated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case.
Do not block the ventilation opening. Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
10
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extreme temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.

Getting Started
Connecting to a Power Source
Connecting the AC Adapter
A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country. To connect the computer to an external power source:
Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your notebook. The notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other electrical devices.
20
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
Never turn off or reset your notebook while the hard disk is in use status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the notebook’s electrical circuitry.
Turning On Your Notebook Computer
Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows Vista…. Etc.) is installed, it should start automatically.
To turn the notebook off, save your work and close all open applications. Emergency shutdown: Turn off system while pressing power button over 4 seconds in after-POST stage (Power On Self Test).
Operating on Battery Power
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an external power source. When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer under the following conditions:
The battery pack initially has a full charge. No peripheral devices are installed. The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time
Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer. All batteries are not the same and therefore should not be treated as such. Using the wrong battery could cause serious damage to your computer and yourself through toxic
emissions. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions or local laws.

Connecting an External Tracking Devices
The system will only enable you to use one tracking device whether it is an internal or external tracking device.
Data Storage and Retrieval
Data storage and retrieval are two of the most fundamental tasks you will perform when working with your computer. The Notebook is
26
equipped with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD is removable allowing for easy upgrades.
Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the notebook’s power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
The Battery Power System
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery completely.
If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a single month alone, we recommend you to perform the “Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the battery life.
Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing how to
calibrate your system battery discussed in the latter part of this chapter. If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use (Battery Calibration)
Before using the battery pack for the first time, battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery life status..
To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:
27
1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the
notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode.
2. Turn the notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery
fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged.
3. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is
in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter.
4. The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status.
Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function
To charge the battery, while the battery pack is in the notebook, plug the AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet.
The charging time is approximately 3-4 hours when the notebook is turned off and approximately 6-7 hours when the notebook is turned on.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator becomes off.
If system runs at heavy loading or in high temperature environment, the battery may not be fully charged. You need to continue to charge it with the AC adapter plugged in until the charging LED turns off.
Battery Status
Windows 7 has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery.
28
Battery Low Warning
When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 7 ~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 15 seconds alerting you to the
“Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data.
Sound
Meaning
Continuous beeping every 5 seconds
Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes charge remaining.
Beeping accelerates
Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the notebook, or connect the AC adapter.
When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume save your work.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses power.
Resetting the System
After installing a software application package, you may be prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating environment.
To reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.” This key combination acts as “software” reset switch when you encounter hardware or
software problems, which lock up the notebook. If this key combination does not shut down the notebook, you can reset
the notebook by using the notebook’s power button. Should the notebook lock up for some reason, pressing this button powers the notebook off.
29

Troubleshooting
Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations and/or mishandling may cause problems.
This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting common hardware and software problems that you may encounter.
When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through the recommendations in this chapter. Instead of returning the computer and waiting for repair, you may easily solve the problems by considering the following scenarios and possible solutions. If the error continues, contact your reseller for service information.
Before taking further actions, consider the following suggestions:
Check to see if the problem persists when all the external devices
are removed.
Check to see that the blue light indicator on the AC adapter is lit. Check to see the power cord is properly plugged to the wall outlet
and to the computer.
Check to see the power indicator of the computer is on. Check to see if your keyboard is operational by pressing and holding
any key.
Check for any incorrect or loose cable connections. Make sure the
latches on the connectors latch securely on to the receptor end.
Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the
hardware devices in the BIOS Setup utility. A faulty setting may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults.
Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For example,
without the audio driver properly installed, the speakers and microphone will not work.
If external devices such as USB cameras, scanner, printer do not
function correctly when connected to the system, it is usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s manufacturer first.
60
Some software programs, which have not gone through rigorous
coding and testing, may cause problems during your routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving.
Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need to
restart the system with these devices powered up and connected first.
Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING after BIOS
re-flash.
