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.

SSuuiittaabbllee ppllaaccee ttoo wwoorrkk

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 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.

Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The PowerOn 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).

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

The system will only enable you to use one tracking device whether it is an internal or external tracking device.

Data storage and retrieval are two of the most fundamental tasks you will perform when working with your computer. The Notebook is equipped with a hard disk drive (HDD).

The HDD is removable allowing for easy upgrades.

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.

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.

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First turn on the power. When the BIOS performs the POST (Power-On Self Test), press F2 key quickly to activate the BIOS Setup Utility.

When you have finished modifying the BIOS settings, exit the BIOS. It takes a few seconds to record changes in the CMOS.

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

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.
