Instructions for Care and Operation
The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This
is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong
magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save
your work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.
Wireless Device Operation Aboard Aircraft
The use of any portable electronic transmission devices aboard aircraft is usually prohibited. Make sure the modules are OFF if you are using the computer aboard aircraft.

Concise User’s Guide
English
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If
you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.
• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.
Power Safety Warning
Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected all peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally
turning the machine on.

Battery Precautions
• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way.
Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qualified service personnel.
• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries
may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.
• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.
• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful
life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.
Power Off Before Traveling
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting
a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s) while the computer is in use.
Quick Start Guide - 7
Concise User’s Guide
English
Quick Start Guide
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell at a glance what and where all the key
components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,
which give an overview of the system.
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3. Attach the AC adapter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the computer (see “Rear View” on page 16), then plug the AC power
cord into an outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC adapter.
4. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.
5. Press the power button to turn “on”.
Not Included
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet
and database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the appropriate manuals.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are reconfiguring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in Chapters 4 & 7 of the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Panel. Double-click System (icon) and then click
Hardware (tab) > Device Manager (button).

tab) and follow the on screen prompts.
