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 disc supplied with your computer. This disc also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper
English
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 disc does not contain an operating system.

Regulatory Information

Regulatory notices and information are contained in the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.

Concise User’s Guide

Instructions for Care and Operation

The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
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.
A void interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong mag-
netic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
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.
Take care when using peripheral devices.

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. Then 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 any liquids.
If the computer does not work no rmally 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.

Concise User’s Guide

Power Safety

The computer has specific power requirements:
Only use an AC/DC adapter ap proved for use with this computer.
Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for in ternational travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply.
English
If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.
The AC/DC 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.
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) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s) while the computer is in use.

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.

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 pac k repair or replacement to your servi ce 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.

System Startup

1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Place the computer on a stable surface.
3. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
4. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack on the left of the computer (see page 7), then plug the AC power cord into an
English
outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter.
5. Use one hand to carefully raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle hand (as illustrated in Figure 1) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the computer by the lid/LCD).
6. Press the power button to turn the computer “on” .
(do not exceed 130 degrees)
Shut Down
, while using the other
Note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the Shut Down command from the Lock Button Menu in Windows Vista. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems.

Concise User’s Guide

Inserting the AC/DC Adapter Cable

Take care when connecting the AC/DC adapter cable into the DC-In jack on the computer. The combination of some case designs and AC/DC adapters will expose part of the end of the adapter cable when connected to the DC-In jack (see Figure 1 on page 6); this is a normal sit­uation.
DO NOT insert the adapter cable into the DC-In jack any further than necessary (i.e. until you meet resistance), otherwise you may cause damage to the computer. The LED indicator will be orange when the adapter is connected.

Model Differences

This notebook series may include different design styles. The exact outward appearance and some of the Hot-Key buttons may appear slightly different from those illustrat­ed in this manual, however all the ports, components and functions etc. are the same for each design style.

Aluminum Covers

Note that this computer series includes some model de­signs with aluminum top covers. In order to clean this type of cover use a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth to carefully wipe of any marks (e.g. fingerprints). DO NOT use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.

Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you
English
will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system
the drivers and utilities is available in Chapters 4 & 7 of the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
If you are installing/re-installing new system software, you will need to install the appropriate drivers. Drivers are pro­grams which act as an interface between the computer and a hardware component e.g. a wireless network module. It is very important that you install the drivers in the order listed in Table 6, on page 23. You will be unable to use most ad­vanced controls until the necessary drivers and utilities are properly installed.
