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.
HHeeaatt,, CCoolldd,, HHuummiiddiittyy,, aanndd GGllaarree
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 over heated, 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.
SSuuiittaabbllee ppllaaccee ttoo wwoorrkk
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of 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.

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 on the latter part of this chapter.

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.
39
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 to save your work.
If the notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost.
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.

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 green 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.
81
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 camera, 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.
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.
Be sure the Quick Key Lockout Switch on the bottom of the
computer is not engaged; otherwise the quick keys will not work.
