As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has
determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for
energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STAR® qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than
computers without enabled power management features.
Earning the ENERGY STAR®
When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the
ENERGY STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of
greenhouse gases out of the air.
If left inactive, ENERGY STAR
mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power
management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than
even just a few years ago.
®
qualified computers enter a low-power
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves
energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
Businesses that use ENERGY STAR
®
enabled office equipment may
realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR
®
qualified equipment in a single home
office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough
electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.
Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can
result in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power
management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way
to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower
consumers’ utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.

Using the Internal Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus an Fn key added for specific functions.
The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:
Typewriter keys
Cursor-control keys
Numeric keys
Function keys
Typewriter Keys
Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. When the
lock keys ( aps Lock and Num Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators
light up.
The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with
other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually
used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a
command. The function depends on the program you are using.
Cursor-Control Keys
Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.
They are Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down. When used with Fn key, they
become Left, Right, Up, and Down arrow keys.
Numeric Keypad
A 15-key numeric keypad is embedded in the typewriter keys as shown next:
Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num
Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you can use these keys
to enter numerals.
Fn
Key
Description
Switches the keyboard backlight on and off (optional).
Switches the wireless LAN radio on and off.
NOTE: This function works only if an optional mini PCI-E
wireless LAN card is installed.
Decreases the sound volume.
Increases the sound volume.
Function Keys
On the top row of the keys are the function keys: to . Function keys
are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual
programs.
Fn Key
The key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another
key to perform the alternative function of a key. The letter “Fn” and the
alternative functions are identified by the color of blue on the keytop. To
perform a desired function, first press and hold , then press the other key.
Hot Keys
Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to
activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic
way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the corresponding
function to the other or next choice.
You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the keytop.
The hot keys are described next.
Key
Description
Decreases the LCD brightness (20 levels).
Increases the LCD brightness (20 levels).
Switches the system sound output off (mute) and on.
Switches LCD backlight on and off.
Switches the display output when external devices are
connected.
NOTE: This function only applies to Plug & Play display
devices.
Serves as the sleep button that you can define with
Windows’ Power Options. (See the “Power Management”
in Chapter 3.)
Windows Keys
The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions:
Windows Logo key and Application key.
The Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs
software-specific functions when used in combination with other keys. The
Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click. (See
your Windows manual for more information.)
Using the Software Keyboard
When using the computer in Tablet mode, you can use the software
keyboard.
1. Press the software keyboard button ( ) and the software keyboard
will appear onscreen.
(The above is for reference only. The actual one depends on your
Windows version.)
2. Enter the characters with the stylus.
NOTE:
Using the Touchpad
The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the
computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and
making selection with the buttons.
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and
right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the
pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As
you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the
screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad,
simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side
of the pad.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the
touchpad:
Term
Action
Point
Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the
selection on the screen.
Click
Press and release the left button.
–or–
Tap gently anywhere on the pad.
Double-click
Press and release the left button twice in quick succession.
–or–
Tap twice on the pad rapidly.
Drag and
drop
Press and hold the left button, then move your finger until
you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release the
button (drop) when you finish dragging your selection to
the destination. The object will drop into the new location.
–or–
Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap, keep
your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your
finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your
destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the
selected object will drop into place.
Scroll
To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the
working area on the screen.
To move vertically, place your finger on the right or left
edge of the pad and slide your finger up and down along
the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger on the
top or bottom edge of the pad and slide your finger left
and right.
This function works only after you install the touchpad
driver supplied with the computer and it may not work for
all applications.
TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the
touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer
be valid.
Configuring the Touchpad
You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if
you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can
use the right button as the left button and vice versa. You can also change
the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on.
To configure the touchpad, go to Control Panel Mouse Properties.
Navigating on the Screen
The screen of your computer is touch-sensitive. You can control the location
of the cursor/pointer on the screen using your finger or the included stylus
or digitizer pen to communicate with the computer.

Chapter 3
Managing Power
Your computer operates either on external AC power or on internal battery
power.
This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain
optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the
proper way.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an
electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack
when connected to AC power.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are
using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you
will experience a shorter operating time.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the
“Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
z Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0°C (32°F)
or above 40°C (104°F).
z The charging process will stop and the Battery Charge Indicator flashes
green and yellow by turns when the battery’s temperature gets above
60°C (140°F). If this happens, the battery pack may be damaged. Please
contact your dealer.
z During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery
has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged
battery.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator (
yellow to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the
computer power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is
fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator is off.
) on the computer glows
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack when
the computer is off, and approximately 6 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion
battery pack when the computer is on.
Managing Power 3-3
Switch
Checking the Battery Level
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click
the battery icon on the taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the
estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the
computer and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the
switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator
segment that light green.
The value of the corresponding green segment indicates the relative
percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when
you see no segment glowing green.
Replacing the Battery Pack
If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling,
you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your
dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on or connected to AC
power.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the right side of the computer.
3. Open the compartment cover by pressing on both sides of the release
latch using your thumb and index fingers.
4. Pull on the ribbon strip to remove the battery pack.
5. Slide the new battery pack all the way into the slot. Make sure to
observe the correct orientation (the ribbon strip must face outward for
future battery back removal).
6. Close the compartment cover to secure the battery pack.
Battery Low Signals and Actions
When the battery is low, Windows gives warning messages and the Battery
Charge Indicator ( ) blinks yellow to alert you.
Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating
time depends on how you are using the computer. If you are using the audio
subsystem, PC card, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out of
charge very quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by connecting the AC adapter, turning off
the computer, or placing your computer in Hibernation mode. If you do not
take any action, the computer will automatically hibernate and turn off.

Power Management
Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows
you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, power supply to
different computer components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This
allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time.
In general, Windows’ power management works in this way:
* Depends on your settings in Windows.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
Hibernation
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many
applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these
applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed
before the computer can be turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the
applications. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the
hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your computer,
you return to exactly where you left off.
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your computer’s power saving mode (see previous
section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by
following these suggestions.
Do not disable Power Management.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB
mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the
touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using
it.
If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the application
when you finish using it.
If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC cards
drain power even while they are inactive.
Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module.
Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
