Introduction

Your CELSIUS Mobile H is a versatile and ergonomic workstation. Innovative technology and ergonomic design make your CELSIUS Mobile H user-friendly and reliable.

To simplify the initial start-up of your workstation, one or two operating systems are preinstalled on the hard disk (dual-installation). If two operating systems are preinstalled, you can select which of the two operating systems you want to install during initial start-up.

The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to make the most effective use of the battery capacity.

Your

WORKSTATION has 128 -1024 Mbyte of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level.

Data is stored on a hard disk drive. Your workstation is also equipped with a 3 1/2-inch disk drive. Your workstation is shipped with a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD). A PC card slot (CardBus or PCMCIA) enables the device to operate two type II PC cards or one type III PC card. Depending on the variant, your workstation may be equipped with an internal mini-PCI board.

Your workstation has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor, a printer, and a mouse. The ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via the two USB ports. A video output lets you connect a television or video device.

For convenient operation your workstation is equipped with a removable radio keyboard. For mouse control, the radio keyboard has a touchpad with touchpad buttons.

An audio controller, two built in loudspeakers, and a built in microphone provide your workstation with audio functionality. You can thus incorporate voice, noise effects and music into your workstation environment. You can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker. Furthermore a digital audio output (SPDIF) is provided.

The system settings of the workstation can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup programme. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various key combinations while you are using the workstation.

Your workstation has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.

This Operating Manual tells you how to put your workstation into operation and how to operate it in daily use.

Additional information on your workstation is contained in the following documents:

• on the "CELSIUS Mobile Driver CD"

• in the "Safety" manual

• in the documentation of the operating system
