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.

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
English
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 fea-
ture; 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.

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 (see “Peripheral Devices” on page 14).
3. Attach the AC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer (see
“Rear View” on page 14), 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 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.

Optional Module Drivers
If your purchase does not include any of the optional
modules (PC Camera, Wireless LAN or Bluetooth), DO
NOT install the drivers for them.

Authorized Driver Message
If you receive a message telling you that the driver you
are installing is not authorized (Digital Signature Not
Found), just click Yes or Continue Anyway to ignore
the message and continue the installation procedure.
Installation Prerequisite
If you are installing an operating system (e.g. Windows
2000 or Windows XP), make sure to set the USB Host
Controller option in the BIOS to “Disabled”. This will
disable all the USB ports. This will also prevent the sys-
tem from seeing the card reader as a disk drive (if the
system sees the card reader as a disk drive, it will automatically define it as drive “C:”). Don’t forget to enable
the USB ports after installing the OS.
