Innovative techno logy...

Innovative technology...

and ergonomic design make your AMILO a reliable, convenient notebook.

Your notebook is available in several different v er sions. Most of the sections in this manual apply to all models – any differences are indicated separately. Some of the illustrations and features in this manual may differ from your model and are for guidance only. The "optional" components described in this manual are only available for certain models and must be selected at the time of purchase. At the time this manual is printed it is not possible to say whether the "model-speciﬁc" components and functions described in this manual will be available for your own particular model.

If you have purchased a notebook with a Microsoft Windows operating system, this will be pre-installed and optimally conﬁgured for you. The notebook is ready to use when you switch it on for the ﬁrst time.

Your notebook feature s the very latest technology so that you get the best performance from your computing experience. Depending on which model you own, you have access to:

• up to 2 or 4 GB of main memory (RAM). Please contact our Technical Support for information on released memory modules.

• a CD/DVD burner for watching DVD movies or recording your own CDs and DVDs

• depending on the model, a second hard disk to allow your notebook to be operated with two hard disks in a RAID conﬁguration

• an S-Video Out socket for connecting your notebook to your television

• a FireWire port for connecting high speed d evices such as digital camcorders

• several USB ports which provide easy expansion with webcams, game pads, printers and more

• an integral webcam to take photos or to video chat

• an internal modem, LAN or wireless LAN for Internet access

• an ExpressCard slot for operating an ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54

• a memo ry card slot for transferring digital pho tos, music and videos quickly onto your notebook

• two onboard microphones for voice recording or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

• an onboard sound card, two stereo loudspeakers and a bass loudspeaker (subwoofer) for your audio enjoyment

• you can connect a microphone and external loudspeakers to obtain an even better sound

With the user-friendly "BIOS Setup Utility" you can control your notebook’s hardware and protect your system better against unauthorised access by using the p owerful password properties.

This operating manual tells you how to put your AMILO into operation, and how to operate it in daily use.

NotesEnergyEnergysaving

Switch the notebook off w hen it is not in use. Switch off external, connected devices if you are not using them. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.

Energy efﬁciency is increased and the environmental impact is reduced. You save money while protecting the environment.

Travelling with your notebook

MobileoperationNotesTranspo rtNotebook

Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.

Before you travel

► Back up important data stored on your hard disk.

NotebookTravel,notebook

► Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data trafﬁc via a wireless

connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.

Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation for your radio component.

► If you wish to use your notebook during a ﬂight, ﬁ rst check with the ﬂight

attendants if it is OK to do so.

When travelling in other countries

► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the

local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

► Check whether the local pow er supply and the speciﬁcations of the power cable are

compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.

► Enquire with the corresponding government ofﬁce of the country you will be

travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there (see also "

► If you are planning to use a modem, please be aware that it may not necessarily be compatible

with the local telephone system. This may result in poor performance, or the modem may not work at all. You may require a country-speciﬁc telephone adapter (available as an optional accessory).

CE marking", Page 70).

Transporting the Notebook

The remote control or a placeholder must be plugged into the ExpressCard slot. This will prevent foreign objects from getting into the notebook via the slot. Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a car).

► Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DV

Cleaning the Notebook

Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.

Only use cleaning products designed for computers. Normal household cleaners and polishes can damage the markings on the keyboard and the device, the paintwork or the notebook itself.

Ensure that no liquid enters the notebook.

The Crystal View display is very sensitive to scratching! Only clean the display surface with a very soft, slightly damp cloth.

► Switch the notebook off.

GettingstartedNotebookGettingstartedNotebook

Before you can use your notebook for the ﬁrst time you need to charge the battery and install the supplied software. The Windows operating system and drivers required are already pre-installed.

Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The battery must be charged if you want to operate your notebook with the battery.

When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the battery’s life by enabling the system’s energy saving functions.

When you use your notebook in your home or ofﬁce, we recommend you use the mains adapter instead of the battery.

Please read the chapter entitled " how to connect devices such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.

Unpacking and checking y

Should you discover any damage incurred during transportation, notify your local sales outlet immediately!

► Unpack all the individual parts.

► Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.

We recommend that you keep the original packaging material.

You may need the packa ging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Selecting the location

Location,selectingtheNotebookPoweradapter

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when selecting a location:

• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture, bed). This can block the air vents and cause damage due to overheating.

• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.

• Place the notebook on a stable, ﬂat, non-slip surface. Please note that the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.

• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its m ains adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.

• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook or the mains adapter.

• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.
