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 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.

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.

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:

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 2.5 hours when the notebook is turned off and approximately 3.5 hours when the notebook is turned on.

When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator becomes off.

Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes charge remaining.

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.

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.

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 green 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 camera, 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.

 Be sure the Quick Key Lockout Switch on the bottom of the

computer is not engaged; otherwise the quick keys will not work.
