Introduction

Innovative technology and ergonomic design make this workstation the ideal user-friendly and reliable travel companion. The removable keyboard now provides even more flexibility in the use of your workstation. Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your workstation for the first time.

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. By using an additional battery instead of the disk drive, you can double the workstation's mobile operation time.

Your workstation has 64 -768 MB of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Data is stored on an Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive. Your workstation is supplied with both a 3 1/2" floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive. In addition, your workstation can be equipped with a DVD drive, a Zip drive or with a 2 simultaneous operation of two Type I/II/III PC cards (a maximum of one Type III and Type II each).

You can use the mouse supplied or your workstation's touchpad to control the mouse. A doubletouch directly on the touchpad is all that is required, for example, to open an application.

Your workstation has connectors for external devices such as, e. g. external monitor, television, printer and mouse. The parallel port (which supports ECP and EPP modes) is designed to accommodate bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripherals such as, e. g. scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard or mouse via the USB interface. The workstation has a fast IrDA interface for wireless data transfer. In addition, the workstation has a connection port for a QuickPort S.

An audio controller, two built-in loudspeakers, a built-in microphone, an audio input and output provide your workstation with an audio capability. You can also connect an external microphone, external loudspeakers, a joystick or MIDI devices.

The system settings of the workstation can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup program. 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 unauthorized persons can access your data. As a result, access to your workstation is protected with a chipcard reader. 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 this workstation is also contained in:

• in the "Safety Notes" manual which is included with your workstation

• in the documentation of your operating system

• on the CD "Drivers & Utilities"

• in the information files (e. g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP)

• on the Internet at www.fsc-pc.de/drivercd/start.htm

Preparation for use and operation Workstation battery

Workstation battery

The workstation is fitted with a battery (Lithium Ion battery) that provides it with power during mobile use. You can increase battery life by enabling the system's power management features.

In addition to the workstation standard battery, you can also use a second workstation battery. By using both workstation batteries, you can double the workstation's mobile operation time.

The workstation battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field (see chapter "Indicators and input devices"). When you switch on the workstation, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.

The battery will last for roughly 500 charge/discharge cycles.

To utilize the optimum charging capacity of the battery, you should regularly perform the battery learning cycle (see chapter "Learning cycle for workstation batteries").

Charging, caring for and maintaining the workstation battery

Only use workstation batteries designed for this workstation.

The workstation battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 40°C.

The workstation battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field. A workstation battery will fully charge in approximately three hours in a workstation that is switched

off. After half the charging time, the battery has already reached a 70 % charge level. A workstation battery will fully charge in approximately four hours if the workstation is switched on. If the workstation is fitted with two workstation batteries, charging will take twice as long. The workstation batteries are charged successively. The battery which was connected first is charged first.

The workstation battery can be charged by:

• connecting the workstation to the power adapter

• connecting the workstation to the car adapter

• connecting the workstation to the QuickPort S

Before a workstation battery is used for the first time, the battery learning cycle should be performed (see also the section "Learning cycle for workstation batteries").

Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning signal indicates the need for charging. The workstation battery should not be charged before this point.

If you do not use the workstation batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the workstation. Never store the workstation batteries in the unit.

If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months), workstation batteries should be stored in a charged state of approximately 50%. After six months, at the latest, you should run a learning cycle with the batteries again. If you store the batteries up to two months, the charge status of the batteries must be approximately 30%. The workstation batteries should be stored in a dry environment in temperatures between +10°C and +25°C.

22 A26391-K82-Z110-1-7619

Workstation battery Preparation for use and operation

Connecting the power adapter

The power cable corresponds to the country version of the workstation. Make sure that the power cable is approved for use in the country in which you intend to use it.

The workstation and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart. Keep othe objects 100 mm clear of the workstation and its power adapter. Do not cover the ventilation slots in the workstation and the power adapter.

Do not place the power adapter on heat-sensitive material. The power adapter's AC cord should only be connected to a wall outlet if the workstation

is connected to the power adapter.

Ê Place the workstation on a flat, sturdy surface. Ê Install the battery.

Ê Plug the DC output connector on the power adapter into the DC input connector (DC IN) on the

workstation (1).

Ê Connect the power cable to the power adapter (2). Ê Plug the power cable into the power outlet (3).

You can use the car adapter if the car has a 12 V electrical system.

Ê Place the workstation on a flat, sturdy surface. Ê Install the workstation battery.

Ê Connect the car adapter cable to the DC jack (DC IN) of the workstation (1). Ê Start the car's engine.

You should only use the car adapter while the car's engine is running. You must not start the car's engine while the car adapter is connected to the car's electrical system.

Do not place the car adapter on heat-sensitive material. Whilst in operation, the car adapter must be free-standing and must not be covered.

Keep other objects 100 mm clear of the workstation. Do not cover the ventilation slots in the workstation.

Ê Plug the car adapter's input connector into the car's cigarette lighter (2).

After a few seconds the workstation's battery status indicator on the front lights up. The

workstation battery is being recharged.

Learning cycle for workstation batteries

Your workstation battery contains electronics that continuously monitor the workstation battery charging level and displays the current charging level. To compensate for measuring errors in the electronics, and because the chemical properties of the battery change over time, the electronics must be recalibrated regularly. This calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery learning cycle ensures that the maximum battery capacity can always be used. During the learning cycle a defined charging cycle is carried out.

The workstation battery learning cycle lasts between four and seven hours (please never abort the learning cycle).

24 A26391-K82-Z110-1-7619

Workstation battery Preparation for use and operation

The learning cycle can only be run under MS-DOS. Therefore, a bootable floppy disk must be created for the version of the learning cycle for Windows NT.

Port assignment Technical data

Settings for external components (e. g. PC card):

Function I/O address IRQ PC card (PCMCIA cards):

max. 1x TypIII + 1x TypII or 2x TypII

• I/O cards (modem, network board, COM, SCSI

etc.)

• memory cards (e. g. SRAM, FLASH)

PC cards require an IRQ (no shared IRQ!), I/O addresses and/or a memory area and possibly DMA. (see also the documentation on the PC card).

• ATA cards (e. g. hard disk, sundisk)

PnP = Plug and Play

Shared IRQ: Several PCI components can share one free ISA-IRQ (assignment of the IRQs is automatic).

Parallel port

The parallel port supports three transfer modes: SPP, EPP and ECP. SPP mode (standard parallel port) is the mode traditionally used to drive a printer. EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) modes are transfer modes that allow transfer rates of 2 and 2.4 Mbytes/s. These modes will only work in connection with peripheral devices which specifically support them. Cases where these transfer modes are used are, for example, interface conversions between Parallel and SCSI or Parallel and IDE. The pinouts are different in all three modes.
