Chapter 2
This chapter provides information about the use of the computer.
If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating
basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read only the parts
containing information unique to your computer.
CAUTION:
Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it
in a very hot or cold environment.
The computer can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in
high temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a
circumstance, do not place the computer on your lap or touch
it with your bare hands for extended periods of time.
Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially
a burn.
19
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.
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.
NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen
that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you
type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or
horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
20
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.
NOTE:
When the numeric keypad is activated and you need to type
the English letter in the keypad area, you can turn Num Lock
off or you can press Fn and then the letter without turning
Num Lock off.
Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on
the computer. If so, use the numeric keypad on an external
keyboard instead.
The Num Lock key can be disabled. (See “Main Menu” in Chapter
5.)
21
Key
Description

Function Keys
On the top row of the keys are the function keys: F1 to F12. Function keys are
multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual programs.
Fn Key
The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another key to
perform the alternative function of a key. To perform a desired function, first press
and hold Fn, 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.
22
Key
Description

The Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs softwarespecific functions when used in combination with other keys. The Application
key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click.
23
Term
Action
Point
Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the
selection on the screen.
Using the Touchpad
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad.
Doing so may damage the touchpad surface.
NOTE:
Press Fn+F9 to toggle the touchpad on or off.
For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers
and the pads clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap
lightly. Do not use excessive force.
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:
24

scrolling, two-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, rotating, and others. For detailed
information, go to Settings Devices Mouse & touchpad Additional mouse
options Device Settings Settings.
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 Settings Devices Mouse & touchpad.

Using the Fingerprint Scanner
(Optional)
CAUTION:
For optimal performance, both the scanning surface and the
finger should be clean and dry. Clean the scanning surface
when needed. You can use adhesive tape to remove dirt and
oil from the scanner surface.
It is not recommended that you use the fingerprint scanner
in a belowfreezing temperature. The moisture on your finger can freeze
to the scanner’s metal surface when you touch it, resulting
in a failed operation. Besides, touching freezing metal with
your finger can cause frostbite.
The fingerprint scanner (if your model has the feature) provides a strong
authentication mechanism based on fingerprint recognition. You can log on to
Windows and dismiss the lock screen with an enrolled fingerprint instead of a
password.
Enrolling a Fingerprint
NOTE: You can enroll a fingerprint only after creating a
password for the Windows user account.
1. Click Settings Accounts Sign-in options.
2. On the right side under Fingerprint, click Set up.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete.
34
Fingerprint Login
NOTE: The fingerprint login process can take a while. This is
because the system has to check hardware devices and security
configuration before initiating the fingerprint scanner.
With an enrolled fingerprint, the user can log on by tapping the Fingerprint option in
Windows login screen and then placing the finger on the scanner. The user can
also dismiss the lock screen with the fingerprint.
The fingerprint scanner has 360-degree readability. You can place your finger in
any orientation for the scanner to recognize an enrolled fingerprint.
If fingerprint login attempts fail three times, you will be switched to password login.
35
Chapter 3
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.
36
AC Adapter
CAUTION:
The AC adapter is designed for use with your Computer only.
Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the
adapter.
The AC power cord supplied with your Computer is for use in
the country where you purchased your Computer. If you plan
to go overseas with the Computer, consult your dealer for
the appropriate power cord.
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the
electrical outlet first and then from the Computer. A reverse
procedure may damage the AC adapter or Computer.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head.
Never pull on the cord.
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.
37
Battery Pack
Your computer has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power
source for the computer. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is
provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter
7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is
outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and
50 C (122 F). Once the temperature meets the requirements,
charging automatically resumes.
During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the
battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a
prematurely charged battery.
The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism
which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its
total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions.
In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully
charged at 80% capacity.
The battery level may automatically lessen due to the
self-discharge process (0.21% per day), even when the
battery pack is fully charged (100%). This happens no matter
if the battery pack is installed in the computer.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the computer glows amber
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 glows green.
The two battery packs are charged in parallel. It takes approximately 5 hours to
fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately 6 hours
when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures).
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not
immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge
it again. Doing so may damage the battery.
38
Push-button
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when
the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing
is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several
hours.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the
G-Manager program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The
actual operating time can be different from the estimated time,
depending on how you are using the computer.
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.
The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.
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 push-button to see the
number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge.

Chapter 7
Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and
reduce the risk of damage to your computer.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing,
cleaning, and traveling.
66
Protecting the Computer
To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself,
you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section.
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could
damage your files.
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft.
The cable lock is available in computer stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table.
Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock.
Store the key in a safe place.
67
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C (131 F). (Actual operating
temperature depends on product specifications.)
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using in
extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and
a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the computer
on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping
or hitting may damage the computer.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example,
do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.
As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away from
objects that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances
that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or
a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may cause condensation
inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage the
display.
Do not move the computer simply by grasping the display screen.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object.
68
LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for
a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount
of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen
saver or turn off the display when it is not in use.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the computer with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the computer.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad by
using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when
possible. Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the computer
wet when you can dry it.
If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.
Battery Pack Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging,
make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to
the battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will
shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its
useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently
increase its internal temperature.
69
Charge the battery pack between 10 C ~ 30 C (50 F ~ 86 F) temperature
range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle
and in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is
not within the allowed temperature range.
It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a
day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the computer’s
power off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark
place removed from the computer and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is in
Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of
data or the computer may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect
the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
computer in Sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you
may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading.
This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The
appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 C ~ 50 C (14 F ~
122 F).
Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without
recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines
Use your finger or the stylus (if purchased) on the display. Using a sharp or
metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and
damage the display, thereby causing errors.
70
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a
special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft
cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen
surface.
Turn off the computer power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display
with the power on may cause improper operation.
Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the
display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display.
Using the touchscreen during low temperature (below 5
o
C / 41 F) may cause
a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be
restored upon returning to room temperature.
When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen
function (wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution),
refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the
touchscreen display.
71
When Traveling
Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data
into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along
an extra copy of your important data.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed.
Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the
waterproof integrity.
Do not leave objects in between the keyboard and closed display.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you. Use the
AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage.
If you need to leave the computer in the car, put it in the trunk of the car to
avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.
When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the
computer and flash disks through the X-ray machine (the device you set your
bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the
magnetic wand (the handheld device used by security personnel).
If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer for the
appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.

74
Solving Common Problems
Battery Problems
The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light amber).
Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected.
Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery
pack to return to room temperature.
If the battery doesn't charge after it has been stored in very low temperatures,
try disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the problem.
Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly.
Make sure that the battery terminals are clean.
The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter.
If you often partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be charged
to its full potential. Initialize the battery to solve the problem.
The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the
actual operating time.
The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending
on how you are using the computer. If the actual operating time is much less
than the estimated time, initialize the battery.
BT Problems
I cannot connect to another device with BT wireless technology.
Make sure that both devices have activated BT feature.
Make sure that the distance between the two devices is within the limit and
that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices.

As a protection, the display brightness will be fixed at a low level when the
surrounding temperature is too high or too low. It is not a malfunction in this
situation.
Bad dots appear on the display at all times.
A small number of missing, discolored, or bright dots on the screen are an
intrinsic characteristic of TFT LCD technology. It is not regarded as a LCD
defect.
Clouding (or called “mura”) happens on the screen when you exert forces on
the left or right side of the LCD frame.
This is a normal phenomenon, not a defect.
Hardware Device Problems
The computer does not recognize a newly installed device.
The device may not be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program. Run
the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type.
