When using your notebook equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

■

Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

■

■

Do not use the modem to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

■

Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

■

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunica-

tion Line Cord. For TV tuner use: To protect from overvoltages and transients on the Cable Distribution System, make sure that the outer shield of the coaxial cable is connected to earth (grounded) at the building premise as close to the point of cable entrance as practicable, as required per NEC Article 820.93, ANSI/NFPA 70: 2005. If you have questions about your CATV installation, contact your service provider.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Authorized Repair Technicians Only

Danger of explosion if Lithium (clock) battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instruction.

System Disposal

RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environ-

ment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org 800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile

computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com

in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/

products/notebooks in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu

provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating fuse.

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your LifeBook notebook has an integral 82-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. (Figure 2-12)

■

Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.

■

Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.

■

Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running.

■

Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),

multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions. (Figure 2-12)

WINDOWS KEYS

Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys: a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-12)

CURSOR KEYS

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right). (Figure 2-12)

FUNCTION KEYS

Your LifeBook notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.

LifeBook B6200 Series – Section Two

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.

Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. Note that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar.

■

Volume can be controlled from the Control Panel by selecting the Sounds and Audio Devices icon. Select the Volume tab and move the slider bar to the desired volume level.

■

Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 function keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook. Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.

■

Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

LifeBook Security/ Application Panel

A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Security/Application Panel that allows you to secure your notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Application Panel also allows you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is on.

If the security system is activated, upon starting your notebook or resuming from Standby mode the security system requires you to enter a password code using the buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After entering a correct password, your notebook resumes system operation. (Figure 2-22)

NOTE: The functions of the buttons vary, depending upon whether you have Microsoft Windows® XP Professional or Windows XP Tablet PC/Vista Edition preinstalled. Systems with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or Windows Vista™ installed have additional functions, as detailed in the tables on the following page.

SETTING UP YOUR SECURITY PANEL

When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords.

Numbered Buttons

Use these buttons to enter your password.

Enter Button

After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the LifeBook notebook.

PASSWORDS

The user and supervisor password may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual notebooks in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simultaneously. The following are valid button strokes:

■

Pushing [4] by itself

■

Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time

■

Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time

■

Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time

The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button.

■

{[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]

■

[4], [enter]

■

{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]

Setting Passwords

When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the supervisor password before the user password.

■

The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.

■

You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.

Starting Your LifeBook Notebook

POWER ON

Suspend/Resume button

The Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your notebook.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook be sure you have a battery installed and charged, or that the AC or Auto/Airline adapter is connected and has power.

Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed next time you turn on your notebook. See “Power

On Self Test Messages” on page 62.

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your LifeBook notebook’s BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

■

You turn on the power to your notebook.

■

You restart your notebook from the Windows

Shut Down dialog box. The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

Figure 3-3. Pressing the Suspend/Resume Button

Press the Suspend/Resume button (Figure 3-3). When you are done working you can either leave your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode (See “Suspend/Resume

Button” on page 34.), or you can turn it off (See “Power Off” on page 35.)

Do not carry your LifeBook notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your notebook.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LifeBook notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 62. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook will load your operating system.

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.

Power Management

Your LifeBook notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

logic components required for Suspend/ Resume button and real-time clock operation.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your notebook battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Standby mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/ Resume button can be used to manually put your LifeBook into Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby mode. (See figure 2-5 on page 8 for location).

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/ Resume button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See “Power Indicator” on page 13. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernate mode.

STANDBY (SLEEP) MODE

Standby (Sleep mode in Vista) mode in Windows saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Standby mode by:

■

Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

■

Selecting Standby from Windows Shut Down menu.

■

Timing out from lack of activity.

■

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the

Getting Started

operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available,

or your notebook will not resume.

If you are running your LifeBook notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Standby mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

■

The Standby or Hibernate modes should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

■

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernate mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive. You can enable or disable this feature as follows.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 seconds of the notebook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. (See “Hard Drive or Removable Media Drive Access Indicator” on page 14.) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1. Windows XP: Click the Start button, then click Shut Down. Windows Vista: Click the Start button, then click the arrow at the bottom right of the menu.

2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

■

When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 40°F (5°C) or a high of 95°F (35°C). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

See “Battery Charging Indicator” on page 14.

■

When using a high current device such as a modem, CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive. Using the AC adapter when operating such devices will help to conserve your battery life.

■

Do not leave a faulty battery in your notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.

■

Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.

Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. Optical drive or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

See “Power Management” on page 34.

Using heavy current devices such as a modem or frequent CD-ROM and PCMCIA powered external devices accesses may prevent charging completely.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your notebook will beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will show a dead battery. Your LifeBook will then go into Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the notebook reaches this point

■

You may not be able to hear the audio alarm if the volume control is set too low or is turned off by either the hardware or software. However, you will still be able to see the Battery Level indicator flash. Once the low battery alarm occurs you must save all your active data and put your notebook into Standby mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.

■

When you are in Standby mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your notebook is in Standby mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Page 48

LifeBook B6200 Series – Section Four

Battery Bay Release Latches

Battery

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-11 on page 13) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your notebook.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your LifeBook B6200 Series notebook comes with one battery pack, but it’s a good idea to purchase a second one. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged. The battery can only be replaced by cold-swapping; doing otherwise could result in loss of data. (Cold swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down.)

3. Push the battery bay release latches inward, then lift the front of the battery away from the battery bay and remove it from the bay.

4. Position the new battery in the bay and carefully lay it into the tray. (Figure 4-2) Press it down so that the latches click into place to secure the battery.

5. Turn the power on.

Figure 4-2. Installing the Battery

If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery.

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

1. Have a charged battery ready to install.

2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.

You can also increase your notebook’s memory capacity by replacing the original module with a higher capacity module (2 GB maximum). The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line 533 MHz DDR2 module. (To be certain the correct module is used, you should only use Fujitsu memory modules. To order, go to the Fujitsu accessories website: www.shopfujitsu.com).

INSTALLING A MEMORY MODULE

1. Turn off power to your notebook and remove any attached power adapter (AC or auto/airline).

■

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except the ones specifically shown in the directions for installing and removing the memory upgrade module.

■

The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the module, observe the following precautions:

■

Before handling a memory module, touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity built up in your body.

■

When installing or removing a memory module, hold it by the edge so as not to touch any contacts or chips. Be careful not to touch any internal computer terminals or components; the oil from your fingers could cause a short circuit.

■

Power down your system before adding or removing memory modules. Even if the system is in hibernate or standby states, data could be lost or the memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.

2. Make sure that all connector covers are closed.

3. Turn the notebook bottom side up.

4. Remove the memory upgrade compartment screws, then remove the cover. (Figure 4-10)

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except those specifically shown in the directions for installing and removing the memory upgrade module.

10. Replace the cover and the screws.

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your notebook. Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to change system memory capacity.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.

Windows XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then doubleclicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”

User Installable Features

Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System. The amount of memory is displayed next to “Memory - RAM:”

The amount of memory displayed should be approximately the total of all memory modules installed. There may be a discrepancy which is allocated for fixed video memory.

If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. If the module is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see “Troubleshooting” on page 55.

*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error

Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 31. and that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and contact your support representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

Extended memory not working or not configured properly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module, verify that the module is properly installed. If it is properly installed, you may want to check your Windows Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory until you can contact your support representative.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes successfully tested.

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure (where x = 1-4)

The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP

Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to correct the inconsistency.

*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP

Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to correct the inconsistency.

*Invalid NVRAM media type

Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that you see this message you may have some display problems. You can continue operating but should contact your support representative for more information.

■

Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Treat it with care.

■

Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case.

■

Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.

■

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.

■

Keep it away from food and beverages.

■

If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:

1. Turn it off.

2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.

3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.

4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.

■

Do not use your notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).

■

Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook.

■

Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards.

■

Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60° C) may damage your notebook.

KEYBOARD

Caring for your Keyboard

The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive instrument. It is made up of many switches that are activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a major component of the heat dissipation system in a notebook. Due to heat and size considerations the keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.

When attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray-on cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner, the liquid can drip unseen onto the circuitry. If liquid seeps between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys which no longer operate, or which display the wrong characters.

There is no repair for this problem other than replacement. The solution is to become aware of the issue and take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.

Cleaning should be done with a rag lightly dampened with cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the keys should be avoided. The spray should first be applied to the cloth, then the cloth wiped over the keys.

BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries

■

Always handle batteries carefully.

■

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

■

Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.

■

Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.

■

Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.

■

Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

Increasing Battery Life

■

Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.

■

Set the power management for maximum battery life.

■

Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure A-1)

"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID (service set identifier), network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-2)

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.
