Innovative technology ...
and ergonomic design make your AMILO D the ideal user-friendly and reliable notebook. Your
operating system is preinstalled on the hard disk and optimally configured to facilitate the procedure
when you use your AMILO for the first time.
A PC card slot (CardBus or PCMIA) enables the notebook to operate one type I or type II PC card.
Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem. In addition, your notebook is equipped with a S
Video out socket to connect to a television. You can connect external devices such as digital
audio/video devices or other high-speed devices to IEEE1394 (FireWire).
For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad.
Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor or a printer. You can
connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via
three USB ports (2.0).
An audio controller and two internal loudspeakers provide your AMILO with an audio capability. You
can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker.
The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup Utility
programme. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified
via various key combinations while you are using the notebook.
Your AMILO has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised person can access
your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security
functions in the BIOS Setup Utility also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This operating manual tells you how to put your AMILO into operation, and how to operate it in daily
use.
Further information about your AMILO can be found:
● in the manuals "Safety and Ergonomics" and ”Warranty"
● in your operating system documentation
● in the information files (e.g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP, *.PDF)
