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 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.

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
English
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.

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.

Clone Mode and Extended Desktop Mode
Clone mode simply shows an exact copy of the Primary display desktop on the other display(s). This mode will drive
multiple displays with the same content. The system supports Extended Desktop mode (the LCD and VGA monitor
showing different views) in multiple display environments in Windows XP, but this mode is NOT supported in Win-
dows 2000. An Extended Desktop creates a desktop spanning multiple displays and acts as a large workspace.

procedure for the driver in question.

Hardware (tab) > Device Manager (button).
2. Double-click the device you wish to update/reinstall the

Wireless Module ON/OFF Switch
While installing the drivers make sure that the Wireless
Module ON/OFF switch is turned OFF, until you come to
install the drivers for the 802.11b Wireless LAN or Bluetooth
modules. Before installing the 802.11b Wireless LAN or
Bluetooth drivers turn the switch ON. If you have both the
802.11b Wireless LAN and Bluetooth modules, use the Fn +
F12 key combination to toggle the power to the module(s). If
the Found New Hardware Wizard appears at any time (other than outlined in the driver install procedure), click Cancel.

Make sure you have not enabled any of the Multi language
options in the Regional and Language Options control
panel before installing the drivers. Some of these language
options will interfere with the audio driver installation process. After you have installed all the drivers you may then
configure the language options.
