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.

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.

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.

(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).

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:

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.

The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into
your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It runs and
maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is menu-driven
software, which allows you to easily configure and change the
settings.

The BIOS contains manufacturers default settings for the
computer’s standard operations. However, there are occasions
when you may be required to modify the default settings in the
BIOS.

The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users.
This is an important feature because a great deal of vital
information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized
access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will learn how
to use this security feature.

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.

46

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.

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.
