The Alt (alternate) key is used with other keys to perform special tasks. On some

operating systems pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del twice soft reboots the computer .

The Backspace key, sometimes represented on the keyboard as a left arrow, moves

the cursor one position to the left. The character to the left of the cursor is erased.

Pressing the Caps Lock key one time locks keys A through Z in the UPPER CASE

position. Pressing the Caps Lock key again returns the letters to lower case. While

in the upper case mode, pressing the Shift key results in lowercase characters

when entered. You still have to use the Shift key to display characters located on

the upper portion of the keyboard. For example, press Shift+8 to type an asteris

(*), even when the Caps Lock key is activated.

The Caps LockLED lights when the keyboard is in Caps Lock mode.

The Ctrl (control) key works with other keys to perform a variety of functions.

The Enter key signals the computer that you have completed your entry. This is

our way of telling the computer to process the information that you have entered.

The Esc (escape) key allows you to exit a pop-up window or message box.

In Windows, pressing the Prtsc (print screen) key or ALT+Prtsc key copies the

current screen or window to the clipboard so you can paste it into documents.

The Shift key changes the keys A through Z to the UPPER CASE position. When

you press an alphabetic key, the character appears as a capital letter. When you press Shift with other keys, the characters on the upper part of the keys appear.

For example, pressing Shift+7 displays an ampersand (&).

Some special Fn (function) keys have been established to perform important tasks

when pressed and held with the Fn key. These keys are described later in this

document. The Fn key legend is color keyed to other special keys on the

keyboard.

Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger over of the touchpad. Your computer has either a resistive touchpad or a capacitive touchpad, depending on your configuration. The buttons located directly below the touchpad have the same function as a two-buttoned mouse. Pressing these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software.

Capacitive Touchpad option: works well with fingers

To Use the Touchpad

1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either your left or right thumb off the space bar and onto the touchpad.

Resistive Touchpad option: works with gloved fingers

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 26 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

2. Gently move your thumb across the touchpad in the direction you want the cursor to move.

Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting

Settings, Control Panel, Mouse, Buttons

. These settings allow you to change the orientation from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer movement and timing of clicks.

To Select Objects

1. Use the touchpad to position the cursor over the object you want to select.

2. Double-tap the touchpad or quickly press the left touchpad button two times.

To Drag

1. Place the pointer over the desired object

2. Press and hold the left button or tap the touchpad two times as if you were double-clicking but do not remove your finger after the second tap.

3. Move the pointer to the desired location.

4. Release the button or lift your finger to finish dragging.

Touchpad Precautions

The touchpad is a sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following precautions:

Avoid touchpad contact with dirt, liquids or grease

Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons

Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad and keep the touchpad dry and clean

The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. It responds best to light touches. Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad's responsiveness

Bluetooth (option)

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short range, wireless technology. Bluetooth systems create a Wireless personal-area network (WPAN). When Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another, an electronic conversation automatically takes place to determine whether they have data to share or whether one needs to control the other. Then, the devices hop frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another and avoid interference with other devices.

Bluetooth devices send out weak signals of 1 milliwatt. Class II Bluetooth devices have a range of about ten meters while Class I devices have a range up to 100 meters. The GoBook XR-1 Bluetooth option is a Class I device with the greater range. Even with the low power, the walls in your house won't stop a Bluetooth signal. This makes the standard useful for controlling several devices in different rooms. However, obstructions such as walls do degrade the signal and reduce its range.

Improving Radio Coverage

Wireless connectivity between your computer and wireless network access points is essential. Maintaining this wireless connectivity over a wide area is fundamental to the usefulness of the network. This makes the scope and reliability of radio coverage a primary concern. Therefore, one of the most important features of the wireless network is the degree of radio coverage provided. Coverage can be influenced by terrain, buildings or even a crowded room. Here are some tips to help you improve radio coverage, depending on your location.

In any Location

1. Performance can vary significantly at different times of the day.

2. Weather can affect performance.

On the Street

1. Try all sides of a building to see which side provides the strongest radio signal.

2. Move from under trees. Pine needles absorb radio signals more than leaves.

3. Move away from overhead electrical wires.

4. Radio signals reflect off other buildings. Even in the signal shadow, the signal could be reflected ack by another building.

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 47 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

5. Try not to hold the unit. If possible, place it in vehicle, on a cabinet or desk.

6. If holding the unit, turn the unit in 90-degree increments to avoid shielding it with your body.

7. The signal is 1-2 feet across; therefore, moving several feet in any direction may give different

results.

Inside a Building

1. Move toward windows.

2. Signals do not penetrate ground; therefore, there will probably be no signal in basements.

3. Reflective coatings on windows reflect radio signals. Try the side of the building that is least

likely to have coated windows.

4. Closed metal blinds can reflect radio signals.

5. Dropped ceilings sometimes hide an accumulation of electrical cable.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

1. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is generated by switching circuitry closets or Un-interruptable

Power Source (UPS) systems found near computer rooms and can block the radio signal.

2. Look for significant sources of electromagnetic radiation. Problems may emanate from a source

between your location and the radio base station.

When to use Landline Communication

If these tips do not improve radio signal strength, switch to landline communication. Switching to landline communication is faster than searching for and trying to improve the radio signal.

The Battery

The battery has the following characteristics:

Employs current battery technology standards

The computer uses a "smart" Lithium-Ion battery to consistently provide the long battery life best suited for mobile users

A temperature sensor and memory device that stores information about the battery, such as how much charge is left and how many times it has been recharged

Battery-low warning

When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery alarm beeps or displays a warning on your screen. This tells you that the battery power is critically low (and you should save your work). You can correct this situation by recharging the battery.

Whenever possible, use the AC adapter. The battery will come in handy when you travel or do not have access to AC power. It is advisable to have an extra fully-charged battery available as backup.

Using a battery for the first time

Before using a battery for the first time:

1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer, then to a power source.

2. Calibrate the battery

You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a battery that's been stored without being

Battery Charging

When you use the AC adapter to connect your GoBook XR-1 to a power outlet, the internal battery begins to recharge automatically. While the battery is charging, the Battery Power Indicator is lit. When the battery is fully charged, it turns off.

If your computer is turned off or suspended to RAM, a fully discharged battery takes about 4 hours to recharge. If your computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode, it may take four to six ( 4- 6) hours to recharge the battery. Refer to the following table:

hours, depending on usage patterns. If your computer also has the optional Media Bay battery, it will

ower the GoBook XR-1 for an additional two to three (2-3) hours.

Power Saving Modes

Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Saver utility.

Suspend Mode

There are several possible settings for suspend mode. You may Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk (Hibernate), or disable suspend altogether, which is not recommended.

Suspend to RAM (Stand By)

In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while most of the components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a minimum. In a Suspend to RAM, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing any key. A fully-charged battery can maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) is similar to turning off the computer, except that the current state of the computer is copied to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer returns from suspend mode, the desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) is very useful when you do not want to take the time to shut down all open programs one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to open the same programs and files the next time you use the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.

Initiating Suspend Mode

There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power Saver utility:

The computer may automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time

Selecting the Standby button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box

Pressing the power button will cause the computer to hibernate by default

Pressing the suspend function key (Fn+F3 )

Power Button Settings

The function of the Power Button can be set to Shut down, Stand by or Hibernate in the Power Saver

while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.

When to Replace the Battery

Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery if it no longer provides 70% of its original rated capacity.

WARNING There is danger of explosion if the 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 instructions.

Heat Considerations

The computer’s processor has been specially designed to consume as little power as possible. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:

1. The cooling fan turns on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent on the left side of the computer when this happens.

2. If the temperature continues to rise, Processor activity is reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.

3. To prevent damage, if the computer gets too hot, the processor stops and the computer shuts down.

Battery Calibration

Over time, as the battery is repeatedly drained and recharged, battery runtime may decrease. Occasionally, the battery should be recalibrated for maximum performance. The calibration process empties and charges the battery. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery status. Battery Calibration will take from 10 to 16 hours, depending on how much power the battery already contains.

It is recommended you calibrate your battery:

the first time you use it

after it has been in storage

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

if the gas gauge has become inaccurate.

Windows Battery Calibration

To run the Battery Calibration program select Start, All Programs, Mobile Computer Tools, Battery Calibration. Then select Start to begin calibration the battery.

After starting calibration, the Battery Calibration application requires no further input from the user. The calibration consists of four steps:

1. Partial Discharge - the battery is drained to a level below 85 %.

2. Charge - the battery is fully charged to 100 %.

3. Discharge and calibrate: First, the battery is discharged all the way down to zero. Now the battery is 'calibrated' but not charged. You may stop the process after this point and let the battery charge outside of the Battery Calibration application.

4. Charge - if the Battery Calibration continues running, the battery will fully charged to 100%.

OTE The unit will not go into suspend mode while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not disconnect AC power while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not remove the battery while Battery Calibration is running. Doing so will cause the application to terminate immediately.

BIOS Level Battery Calibration

You can also calibrate the battery from within BIOS Setup. To calibrate the battery from BIOS Setup follow these steps:

1. Plug in the AC adapter.

2. Restart the computer. When the startup screen appears, just prior to the Windows logo screen, press the Del key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. At the "Choose the setup function" screen, select "Battery Calibration" and hit enter.

Battery Tips

Tip 1. Avoid excessive heat and cold

Your battery will last longer during the day if it is used, charged and stored between 50°F and 86° F (10°C and 30°C)

Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 68°F (20°C). Your battery may not last as long through the day if you charge it at higher or lower temperatures

Allow unrestricted airflow while the computer is connected to external power. Make sure that the fan inlet and outlet are unobstructed

Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures for long periods, which can shorten battery charge life and potentially damage the battery.

How your battery behaves in warm conditions

To prevent possible damage to the battery, the system may not allow a charge if the battery

erature is above 122°F (50°C), such as in a closed, unattended vehicle during the summer. In

tem

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

this case, the Battery Power Indicator may indicate that the computer has stopped charging

your battery; however, your battery may not be fully charged.

If possible, turn off or suspend your computer while the battery is charging in a warm environment to avoid over-heating

In warmer temperatures, your battery may take much longer to fully charge.

How your battery behaves in cold conditions

When using a battery in cold conditions, the battery capacity may drain significantly faster

To prevent possible damage to the battery, the system will not allow a charge if the battery temperature is below 41°F (5°C), such as in a closed, unattended vehicle during the winter. In this case, the Battery Power Indicator may indicate that the computer has stopped charging your battery; however, your battery may not be fully charged

In cooler temperatures, your battery can take much longer to fully charge.

Page 57 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

Tip 2. Prevent wasted power

Manually turn off or suspend your computer whenever you are not using it

Reduce the screen brightness. Decrease brightness by pushing Fn + F6. Increase it by pushing Fn + F7

Enable the display's automatic dimming feature

Use the AC adapter or vehicle adapter whenever possible

Connect to a charging source and fully charge at the end of day. This ensures the gas gauge is accurate and provides a charged battery for the next day

Avoid allowing the Li-Ion battery pack to completely discharge

Use the Power Saver utility to help save power

When running on battery power, make sure your system suspends automatically after a few minutes of inactivity. PC Cards, radios, custom applications, or modified system settings may affect this

Remove PC Cards and unplug peripherals when you are not using them. They may draw power from the system even when not in use

Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax/modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer’s power requirements

Don't use screen savers as they draw excessive current, especially “3D” screen savers

Avoid or minimize using applications that keep the CPU busy a large percentage of the time. The following will help you determine if your system is running such applications:

Identifying power wasting programs

To determine if applications or processes are keeping the CPU busy

1. Start the Task Manager utility. To open Windows Task Manager, right-click an empty space on the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.

2. Select the Performance tab to view running applications, and the Process tab to view running processes.

3. Watch the CPU Usage. It is okay if the processor usage is occasionally 100 percent, but if it is 100 percent most of the time, this may indicate a problem.

What to do if applications are keeping the CPU busy

If possible, close applications that keep the CPU busy when you are not using them

Turn off or suspend your computer whenever you are not using it. This will help to conserve power

Inform your organization's help desk. They may have an updated version of the application.

Tip 3. Calibrate your battery

Over time, the accuracy of the Windows battery gas gauge may be affected by repeated charging and discharging of the battery. Calibrating the battery every 3 or 4 months helps to keep the gas gauge accurate. For information on calibrating the battery, refer to Battery Calibration.

Tip 4. Get a good charge

Your computer will charge more quickly if it is turned off or suspended

In warmer or cooler temperatures, your battery can take much longer to fully charge

If your battery is charged in a cold (less than 41°F/5°C) or very warm (greater than 122°F/50°C) environment, it is possible that the Battery Charge LED will indicate that the charge has stopped; however, this does not necessarily mean that your battery is fully charged.

Tip 5. Prevent data loss

Follow these guidelines to prevent data loss when removing your battery or storing your computer:

You will lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is operating or suspended. To prevent this, shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate (suspend-to-disk) mode before removin

our battery

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 59 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

If you plan to store your computer for more than a few days, shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate mode. Remove the battery before storing the computer.

Tip 6. Clean terminals

Dirty terminals can be a cause of charging problems. Clean battery terminals with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the alcohol has evaporated before reinstalling the battery.

Tip 7. Storing batteries

Stored Li-Ion battery packs gradually deteriorate, particularly if they are not stored in ideal conditions, and their life expectancy decreases. When storing Li-Ion battery packs for extended periods, consider these recommendations:

When storing batteries for extended periods, it is recommended that you store them between 3°C to 7°C (38°F to 45°F) to retard self-discharge and battery aging. If you store batteries at normal ambient temperatures, use the following charging policy to maintain battery pack condition:

Charge installed batteries every 21 days to maintain their charge capacity

Charge uninstalled batteries every 6 months.

Unused or stored batteries can lose power over time. When you install a battery that has not been used recently, connect external power to the computer and fully charge your battery

Fully charged Li-Ion batteries deteriorate faster than partly discharged ones. For ideal storage, charge the battery to 100% and then discharge them to 50% charge before storing.

Do not allow stored Li-Ion batteries to discharge completely, as this may permanently damage them. Stored batteries should be recharged to 50% capacity every six months

Surge Protection

A large number of computer and high technology equipment damage is directly related to AC power and telephone line problems. These problems can include surges, spikes, noise, interference, and weatherrelated problems, which in turn can cause glitches, hang-ups, crashes, performance slow downs, and down time with computer equipment. The market is flooded with hundreds of AC power line surge suppressors advertising high performance surge protection; only a few of them actually provide adequate protection.

This section provides guidelines for selecting a quality surge suppressor to be used with your GoBook XR-1, and it helps identify a few sources for products with acceptable performance.

Selecting the Right Surge Protection

Consider the level of quality you need when selecting a surge suppressor. This depends on factors such as surge environment, the type of equipment to be protected, and the quality of the electrical wiring and service.

Surge Environment

Surge environment refers to the damage potential from electrical surges in a particular geographical area. A high quality suppressor should be used if there is frequent lightning activity in the area and the location service is fed by overhead utility poles.

Type of Equipment to be Protected

If the computer is equipped with a modem, the modem should also be surge protected. Protecting the

ower line without protecting the modem line provides only partial protection.

Quality of Electrical Wiring and Service

Wiring should be up to current NEC standards and have verified good AC grounds. It is important that your computer system be plugged into a grounded AC outlet when charging and that all peripherals connected to

our system reference the same AC ground.

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 75 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

Selecting the Right Equipment

There are a number of companies that sell quality surge suppressors such as Sutton Designs, APC, and Panamax. When you are looking for a surge suppressor, consider these things.

Expect to pay at least $50 for a good quality surge suppressor

The surge suppressor should be a UL 1449, 497, and 1283 listed for surge suppression, modem surge protection, and RFI/EMI noise filtering respectively

The surge suppressor should have diagnostic LEDs that verify good AC ground, proper wiring, and proper surge operation. On/off switches that light are not recommended since they can produce electrical noise

The Joule ratings should be a minimum of 480 Joules for the AC surge circuit

The Joule ratings should be a minimum of 240 Joules for the modem

The modem surge circuit should present low capacitance to the modem line or it will slow the transmission rate. Capacitance should be specified at less than 50 picofarads

Quality surge suppressor manufacturers generally offer a lifetime warranty

Consider obtaining a protected equipment coverage policy which insures the equipment in the event of surge damage

The devices that will be attached to the computer also need to be surge protected.

Vehicle Adapter

The Vehicle Adapter is an optional device that supplies power from the vehicle battery to operate the computer and charge the battery installed in the unit. It typically connects to the vehicle battery using the cigarette lighter socket.

CAUTION The Vehicle Adapter is only designed for temporary use. Use the optional Vehicle Dock

ower and secure the GoBook XR-1 for frequent or long term vehicle installations.

To prevent possible damage to the battery, the system will not allow the battery to charge at extreme temperatures. Be aware of the following charging characteristics, especially if the computer is left unattended in a closed vehicle.

Vehicle Dock

The vehicle dock is designed to safely secure the computer in a vehicle. It includes a key lock for security. You can use the vehicle dock to:

•

Charge batteries

•

Communicate with other devices

•

Automatically connect to an external antenna

PRECAUTIONS

•

There are no user-replaceable parts within the vehicle dock, so do not open the dock case. The

vehicle dock is internally protected; it resets automatically if there is a power fault.

•

Do not use the vehicle dock to charge the computer battery overnight. Turn off the vehicle dock

at the end of each work day to prevent draining the voltage in your vehicle’s battery below startin

levels.

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 77 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

Charging Batteries

The vehicle dock is designed to charge the computer’s battery with voltage from the vehicle battery while you are traveling. Follow the procedure below to charge a battery.

To charge a battery installed in the computer

1. Place the computer onto the vehicle dock, making sure it is securely latched.

2. If charging is required it begins automatically. The Battery Power Indicator lights.

3. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Power Indicator turns off.

Important

•

Refer to Battery Tips for charging temperature and other recommendations

•

If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to determine battery

capacity. The gas gauge may show that the battery is full, but charging continues. This happens because the charging process is trying to put a little more capacity into the battery. External power can be removed at this time since the battery is virtually full.

•

If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks, rely on the indicator light to

determine when the battery is fully charged. The gas gauge is unreliable in these cases; it may read 100%, when the actual capacity is only 10%.

Communicating with Other Devices

Connect external devices to the ports on the back of the dock, and then place the GoBook XR-1 onto the vehicle dock. You can install or remove the computer from the vehicle dock without connecting or disconnecting the cables.

External Antennas

The Vehicle Dock integrates WLAN and WWAN antennas with switching capability. FCC regulations require that users of vehicle-mounted antennas must use only antennas authorized for use with the GoBook XR-1 in order to meet FCC RF exposure limits. Itronix IX270 Vehicle Mount and Antennas are to be installed by Itronix trained professional installation teams only.

RF Antenna Placement

WARNING Improper installation and/or operating configurations of permanent and magnetic vehiclemounted antennas may cause FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. Vehicle-mounted antennas must be placed at least 20 cm from operators and bystanders and at least 92cm (36 inches) from any existing roof mounted antennas.

Placement of a vehicle-mounted antenna

8/3/2006file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh2D1C.htm

Page 78 of 92GoBook XR-1 Hel

1. Measure and identify an area 20 cm (8 inches) in from the edges of the vehicle roof.

2. Place the antenna within that area.

To maximize RF performance, position the antenna in the center of the vehicle roof.

CAUTION Do not place any metal objects on top of the dock that might make contact with the metal

ins of the contact connector. Doing so may cause an electrical short and subsequent damage to the

dock.

Backup Utility to run automatically.

► Save Important System Information (WinXP only)

By default, your computer is set up to automatically save certain critical information, such as the registry, on a regular basis. This information is saved as a Restore Point. You can also create Restore Points manually by using the System Restore utility. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Then, follow the instructions on the Wizard.

► Backup your Files

You can backup files in case they are accidentally erased or corrupted. To do this, use the Windows Backup Utility. From the Start Menu, select All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup. You can schedule backups to run automatically on a regular basis. To set this up, talk to your help desk or IT department.

► Backup Drive C:

You can make an exact copy of drive C: and save the backup image on the Recovery Partition of your hard disk (usually drive D:). In the future, you can restore drive C: to its previous state should it become corrupted. To make a backup copy of drive C:, use the Hard Disk Backup and Recovery Utility. Select Start, All Programs, Mobile Computer Tools, Hard Disk Backup and Recovery. You will be prompted for additional information.

Data Recovery

There are several methods to restore your data. It is best to start with the least destructive and fastest recovery options.

► Try this first: Restore System Information (WinXP only)

If you are having problems with your system, restore system information to an earlier state, or Restore Point. To restore to an earlier state, select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Then, follow the instructions on the Wizard.

► Try this next: Restore a Backup

You can restore files and folders that you have backed-up with the Windows Backup Utility. To do this, use the Windows Backup utility. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup.

► Try this last: Restore Entire Contents of Drive C:

If none of the above steps restore your disk image to a stable state, you may need to restore your disk to its original factory image or an image you saved using the Hard Disk Backup and Recovery Utility. Restoring a previously saved disk image overwrites the entire contents of drive C:. Before running this

rocess, save your data to another location, such as a USB flash drive. Select Start, All Programs,
