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.
SSuuiittaabbllee ppllaaccee ttoo wwoorrkk
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).

LCD screens are delicate devices that need careful handling. Please pay attention to the following precautions:
When you are not using the computer, keep the LCD screen closed to protect it from dust.
If you need to clean your LCD screen, use a soft tissue to gently wipe the LCD surface.
Do not put your fingers or sharp objects directly on the surface and never spray cleaner directly onto the display.
Do not press on, or store any objects on the cover when it is closed. Doing so may cause the LCD to break.

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 on.

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.
Sound Meaning
Continuous beeping every 5 seconds
Beeping accelerates
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.
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.

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.
