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

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.

Suitable place to work

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.

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.

The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded AC outlet. 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.

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 and the CD-ROM 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

Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for a 1 or 2 seconds 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 XP etc) is installed, it should start automatically.

To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications, click on Start, then select the “Turn off the computer”. A selection box will be displayed and click on the “Turn Off” button to shut down your computer.

When your computer hangs up, press the power button for 46 seconds to shut down the computer.

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 for approximately 2.5 hours 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 for this model only. 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.

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these directions:

1. Turn over the notebook with the front of the unit facing you and

place it on a solid, flat surface.

2. Angle the battery into the bay. The front edge of the battery should

slide into the grooves in the system case.

3. Gently lower the battery into the bay and push it until it clicks

securely in the bay.

To remove the battery pack:

1. Turn off the notebook, and disconnect the AC adapter. Close the

LCD panel and turn it over and place it on a solid, flat surface.

2. Lift the release latch to release the battery from the bay. At this time

the battery will now be angled slightly out of the bay.

3. Hold the battery at the finger grip and lift it out of the compartment.

Charging the Battery Pack

The installed battery pack charges automatically any time the computer is connected to the AC adapter and an external power source.

If this is your first time to use the battery, be sure to fully discharge the battery and recharged until it is fully charged.

Using the Notebook Computer

Adjusting the LCD Screen Display

The LCD screen display can be adjusted by the following key combinations.

KEYS FUNCTIONS

[Fn] + [F7] Decreases the brightness level. [Fn] + [F8] Increases the brightness level. [Fn] + [F10] Use this key combination to expand your video

screen or toggle to its original size.

[Fn] + [F12] This key combination toggles the display between

the LCD, CRT, simultaneous LCD/CRT, TV, simultaneous LCD/TV

LCD Care

LCD screens are delicate devices that need careful handling. Please pay attention to the following precautions:

• When you are not using the computer, keep the LCD screen closed

to protect it from dust.

• If you need to clean your LCD screen, use a soft tissue to gently

wipe the LCD surface.

• Do not put your fingers or sharp objects directly on the surface and

never spray cleaner directly onto the display.

• Do not press on, or store any objects on the cover when it is closed.

Doing so may cause the LCD to break.

External CRT Display

You can hook up an external monitor through the 15-pin CRT connector.

• LCD only

• CRT only

• Simultaneous display of the LCD screen and CRT monitor

• TV only

• Simultaneous display of the LCD screen and TV screen You can switch between these display configurations by pressing the key

combination [Fn] + [F12]. For information on connecting an external display, please refer to Chapter Four.

A Tour of the Notebook’s Keyboard

The Notebook’s keyboard uses a standard QWERTY layout with the addition of special function keys and an embedded numeric keypad for number intensive data entry. Your keyboard supports Windows by incorporating the two Windows specific keys.

With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take advantage of many of the timesaving features of Windows software. The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the application you are running.

The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right corner of your keyboard) and the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End] keys (which are located along the right edge of the keyboard) allow you to move the active cursor of the computer to various locations on the screen or within the document.

The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key, these keys are labeled in blue on the keycaps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper right of each key.

When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will appear in the System Window. The keypad is activated by pressing the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an external keyboard is connected, pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or external keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison.

To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key on the Notebook keyboard.
