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
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.
9
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.

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. 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.
19
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 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
Hold the button down for a second or two 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 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).
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 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. 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. Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions or local laws.

Data Storage and Retrieval
Data storage and retrieval are two of the most fundamental tasks you
will perform when working with your computer. The Notebook is
25
equipped with a hard disk drive (HDD).
The HDD is removable allowing for easy upgrades.
Power Saving Modes
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.
The Battery Power System
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.
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 in the latter part of this
chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the
“Battery Calibration” process immediately.
Removing the Battery Pack
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:
26
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.
If system runs at heavy loading or in high
temperature environment, the battery may not be fully charged. You
need to continue to charge it with the AC adapter plugged in until the
charging LED turns off.
Battery Status
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.
27
Sound
Meaning
Continuous beeping
every 5 seconds
Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes
charge remaining.
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.
Battery Low Warning
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.
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

Running BIOS Setup
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.
Entering the BIOS Setup Screen
First turn on the power. When the BIOS perform the POST (Power-On
Self Test), press F2 key quickly to activate the BIOS Setup Utility.
You may need to press F2 key fairly quickly.
Once the system begins to load Windows, you may have to retry by
cycle-power on again

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.
52
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.
