About this Concise User Guide
This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is a supplement, and not a substitute for
the expanded English language User’s Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual CD-ROM supplied with your computer. This CD-ROM also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for
English
the proper operation of the computer.
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual CD-ROM does not contain an operating system.

Concise User’s Guide
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.
English
Instructions for Care and Operation - 3
Concise User’s Guide
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.
4 - Instructions for Care and Operation
Concise User’s Guide
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.

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 pos-
English
sibly 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

Power Management Features
The Power Options control panel in Windows allows you to configure power management features for your computer.
You may conserve power through individual components such as the monitor or hard disk, or you may use either
Standby or Hibernate mode to conserve power throughout the system (enable Hibernate support from the Control
English
Panel). Windows Power Schemes will adjust the processor performance of your computer in order to save power
(see the expanded User’s Manual for full details).
Configuring the Power Button
The power button may be set to send
the computer in to either Standby or
Hibernate mode. In Standby mode,
the LED will flash green. In Hiber-
nate mode the LED will be orange if the
computer is powered by the AC adapter (if powered by the battery the LED
will be off). If you are in a power saving
mode set to save power through individual components (e.g. hard disk,
monitor), the LED will remain green.
Figure 12 - Power Options Properties
The computer’s power button, sleep button (Fn + F4 key combination), and close cover switch may be set to send the
computer in to either Standby or Hibernate mode.

Concise User’s Guide
Power Schemes
You can set your computer to conserve power through individual components by means of Power Schemes. You can
also adjust the settings for each scheme to set the monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer's hard
disk motor to turn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (if the system reads
or writes data, the hard disk motor will be turned back on). The schemes may also be set to set a specified time for
the system to enter Standby or Hibernate mode.
Windows Power Schemes
Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an AC power source. Choose the Max Battery scheme (bear
in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer
in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery
(DC power) powered.
Windows will use Portable/Laptop as the default scheme.
See the expanded User’s Manual for more information on balancing power saving
and processor performance.
Figure 13 - Power Schemes
English
Each Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of your machine in order to save power.
This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).
