Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect you and prevent damage to your netbook.

When Using Your T1000 Netbook

CAUTION: Notebooks generate heat while in use and this

can build up in the base of the notebook. When using the notebook please be careful and do not rest the notebook on exposed skin as contact with the base can cause serious discomfort or a serious skin rash or burn.

• Do not attempt to service the netbook yourself. Always follow

installation instructions carefully.

• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container

where metal objects (such as car keys) could come into contact with and short-circuit battery terminals. The resulting excessive flow of current would cause extreme temperatures and result in excessive burns or a possible fire or explosion.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and

that the cable is not placed where it can be tripped over or can be stepped on and damaged.

• While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the

AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor while it is charging as this may prevent ventilation and cause the adapter to overheat. Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.

• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your netbook computer.

Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or electrical shock. This will also hamper vantilation.

• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your

netbook manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC adapter may heighten the risk of fire or explosion.

• Incorrectly inserted batteries may result in an explosion.

• Replace only with the same or compatible battery recommended by

the manufacturer.

• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

• Before you connect your netbook to a power source, ensure that

the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source.

- 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea.

- 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.

- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle & Far East and Africa.

•If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed its total capacity.

• When removing battery from your netbook, first turn off the system,

disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then remove the battery.

• To avoid risk of an electrical shock, do not connect or disconnect

any cables, or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during a thunderstorm.

• When unplugging the power cord, please make sure that you pull

on its connector or on its strain relief loop, and not on the power cord itself. As you pull out the connector, please ensure that it is pulled out evenly in order not to bend its connecting pins. Also, before you connect the power cord, make sure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Before you clean your netbook, turn it off first, unplug it from its

power source, and remove the battery.

• Handle interior components with care. When removing a component, please hold it by the edge and not on the connecting pins (such as the memory module).

When using your telephone equipments, safety instructions

should always be followed in order to prevent re, electrical

shock or injuries, these instructions include:

• Do not use this product near water, for example, near a

bathtub, washing basins, kitchen/laundry sinks, wet basements or swimming pools.

• Avoid using cordless phones during an electrical storm as

lightening may cause electrical shocks and damange.

WARNING: Voiding the Warranty

Chapter 2 Battery

English

2.1 Battery Pack

Your T1000 is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration , produc t model, applications loaded on the product, power management settings of the product, and the product features used by the customer. As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and usage.

2.2 Recharging The Battery Pack

Your T1000 supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to recharge battery:

Make sure the battery pack is installed in the T1000. Connect the AC adapter to the T1000 and to an electrical outlet. When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (refer

to 1.6 Status Indicators) should be lit.

2.3 Questions And Answers

I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is it normal?

Th e battery wil l genera te heat dur ing rechar ging and

discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the T1000 to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry.

My battery operation time is not as long as it should be.

Why?

The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its

maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature

remain within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature

deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for th e ba tte ry to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again.

I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though

it was fully recharged, there wasn’t as much power left as a newly charged one. Why?

The batteries will self-discharge when they are not being

recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the T1000 and have the AC adapter connect ed whe never possible.

English

T1000 SERIES USER’S MANUAL

I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it.

If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more than three

months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes its normal Fast Charge.

2.4 Battery Maintenance

To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the T1000 deplete its battery power completely before recharging.

To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your T1000 consume the remaining battery power.

To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as much as possible.

When the battery is empt y, wait for the T1000 to coo l do wn (especially the battery). The temperature should be within 15-25°C

(59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery.

The Introduction of GIGABYTE Smart Charge function

The GIGABYTE Smart Charge allows you to charge your digital devices through USB ports while the computer is in the sleep mode. When your computer is powered through an AC adapter by direct AC power supply, you will be able to use Smart Charge when the

computer is in Off/Sleep/Hibernation mode. However, if the battery

pack is the sole power supply for your computer, Smart Charge only

works in Off/Hibernation mode.

To ensure sufficient power supply for system operation, you can set the computer (via GIGABYTE Smart Manager) to automatically

cease this function at 50/40/30% of power level. (Note: Smart

Charge function is available in selected models.)

and I have to constantly hit a key or move the mouse to bring back the screen. What can I do?

This is part of Windows Power Management. Access Power

Management by clicking on Start / Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Power Options, and change the time next to

the “Turn off monitor” option to the time you want. You have the

choice of either adjusting time for the power supply or for the battery.

I’ve heard that cleaning and rearranging les on the hard drive

will improve program’s launch speed, how do I do that?

Good disk mai nt ena nc es can impr ov e pr og ram lau nc h

speed. This normally includes deleting unnecessary files, and defragmenting hard disk so that files can be more efficiently grouped. Windows contains maintenance utilities for these tasks; run Disk Cleanup to remove unnecessary files, and Di sk Defragmen te r to defrag me nt file block s. Fo r more information about these utilities, please refer to your Windows documentation.

What kind of external microphone can I use with my notebook

computer?

You will need to use a self-amplifying microphone.

There are echoes coming from my speakers. What can I do?

Double click on the Speaker icon on the task bar. Then, under

Microphone Balance, check the Mute box.

Be cause of a software prob lem, I was unable to shut the

power off?

Make sure you press the power button for at least 4 seconds.

Normally, this will force the computer to shut off.

Why can’t I charge the battery of my portable computer after it

was out of use for some time?

After your portable computer has not been used for a long time

(say, more than a month), the battery will enter into low voltage protection mode. Under this circumstance, restoring to normal voltage will require the battery to be slowly charged for several hours. Once the battery has been fully charged, your computer will resume to normal operation.

English

T1000 SERIES USER’S MANUAL

My computer says: “CMOS Battery Low”, what should I do?

If your computer is without power (i.e. unplug the computer

power source from the power outlet and remove the battery

pack from it) for over 45 days, you would lose the information

stored in CMOS.

Pleas e follow the steps below to recon figure your CMOS

settings:

1. Press F2 to enter into the BIOS setup utility.

2. Se le ct “L oa d Opt ional Defaults?”. When you see the

following prompt, choose <OK> and then press <Enter>.

3. Select “Save Changes and Exit”, select <OK> and press

<Enter> to restart your computer.

How to unplug or eject devices

1. In the notication area next to your task bar, double-click the

Safe Removal icon. Safe Removal displays a list of Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that are currently attached to the system. If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device does not support safe removal, and you cannot unplug or eject your device using Safe Removal.

2. In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select the

device that you want to unplug or eject, and then click Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or ejecting the device.

3. In Stop a Hardware device, click OK. A notication appears stating that it is now safe to unplug or

eject the device.

Caution

• Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe removal without first using the Safe Removal application to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your system to become unstable. For example, if you use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system before you unplug or eject a device, preventing possible loss of data.

Note

• For removable storage devices that can safely be removed while the system is on, the system disables write caching by default. It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data. When write caching is disabled, however, the system will likely experience slower performance, so be sure to enable write

caching when you have nished removing the device.

Does T1000 provide a hardware switch or function button to

enable/disable the Bluetooth function?

T1000 provides a combined function button to enable/disable

the 3G (Fn+F10) and Bluetooth (Fn+F11) functions.

(3G is optional)

English

What are the considerations for the use of the touch control

screen?

In acco rd an ce with the principle of p an el st ru ct ur e, th e

surroundings of the touch control panel are highly sensitive.

Hence, drawing lines along the surroundings of the chassis

is strictly prohibited as this may damage the Pet/film due to extreme pressure or cause the internal liners/pads on the edges of the outer shell to displace, therefore squeezing the edges of the touch control screen and causing the screen to fail.

What is the capacity of SDHC card that T1000 can support?

The specication of SDHC that T1000 SD card reader supports

shall be in accordance with that of the SD Association. Currently, the maximum capacity announced by SD Association is 32GB http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/
