18. When using your telephone equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury to persons. These precautions
include the following:
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type)
during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this
manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
instructions.
19. Do not use the AC adapter near open water or other liquids.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge

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.

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.

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 manufacture’s 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.
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
57
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.
