Chapter 1 Getting Started
This chapter describes the way to install battery pack and AC adapter or how to make best use of the
Power Saving Mode will be illustrated in this section.
1 Using of the Battery Pack
2 Connecting of the AC Adapter
3 Power ON/OFF
4 Power Saving Mode
6
1 Using of the Battery Pack
Your eNOTE can be powered by the supplied AC adapter or by a charged battery pack. The battery
pack will be charged automatically when the AC adaptor is connected.
Note
You should use the AC adapter whenever it is possible, relying on the battery pack only when AC
power is unavailable. Since the battery pack is expendable equipment, continuous use will shorten
its life and usable time.
Before you use your eNOTE, install and recharge the battery pack first. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery
pack allows you to operate the eNOTE without an external power source. When you connect the AC power
adapter, the battery immediately starts to recharge. For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the
battery before recharging it the first time. To do so, unplug the AC adapter, turn off power management
features, and turn on the system. Once the battery is fully discharged, plug in the AC adapter and recharge
the battery.
If you do not discharge the battery completely, it fails to accept a full recharge.
Attention
Li-Ion battery is vulnerable, do not charge it with other power adapter, or it may cause fire or
explosion.
Installation of the Battery Pack
1 Turn the eNOTE upside down
2 Slide the battery pack for installation in the direction of the arrow. Slide it towards the battery
pack slot until the slide switch clicks into place.
3 Slide the battery pack lock switch to the end of the left side. Make sure the battery pack is

eNOTE User Guide
securely locked.
Replacement of the Battery Pack
When your eNOTE estimates that the battery only has enough charge to continue for a few minutes, it
will alert you with a battery low warning. If you are consuming a lot of power by using the audio system,
and the hard disk drives, your eNOTE might run out of charge much sooner than you expect. You
should always respond to the battery low indication by connecting to AC power or turning off your
eNOTE, or suspending your eNOTE to disk. If you do not do so, the eNOTE will automatically
suspend to disk and turn off. The contents of the memory will store in the hard disk drive. You will be
unable to restart the eNOTE until you have connected to the AC adapter or installed a charged battery.
Please refer to the below illustration for replacing of the battery pack.
1 Switch off the power of the machine.
2 Turn the machine upside down.
3 Slide the battery pack lock switch to the end of the right side.

Battery Pack”.

5 How to Use VGA D-Sub 15 Port
Your eNOTE has a VGA D-Sub 15port for supporting any external CRT or LCD color monitor. You need a
display signal cable (usually provided with the monitor). One end of the cable must have a 15-pin
connector for the system. All you have to do is plug the cable from the monitor into the left of the system
with a VGA D-Sub 15 Socket.
To connect an external monitor:
Turn off your computer and make sure the monitor power switch is turned off.
The eNOTE must be powered off or suspended while the monitor is being connected. Although you can
connect the external Monitor without power off the eNOTE and the external monitor, however, it is harmful
to both devices and it shortens the life of these devices.
Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the DVI port at the left of your eNOTE. If
connector cable is VGA port, please make sure with using the DVI-VGA Adapter (not included
in shipment). Secure the cable connection with the screws provided.
Most monitors use a VGA cable to connect to a PC. In this case, you can connect the VGA cable from the
monitor to the VGA D-Sub 15 Socket on the right of your eNOTE via a VGA D-Sub 15 Adapter (not
included in shipment). Or you can connect directly to the monitor with VGA D-Sub 15 socket.
To connect an external monitor:
1. Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet.
2. Turn on the power of the monitor.
3. Turn on your eNOTE. Both the LCD panel and the monitor screen will show the display.
Your computer is set at default to run at simultaneous display mode.
4. If you only want to show the display on the external monitor and shut off the LCD display,
you can use the <Fn> + <Esc> hot-key to switch display type between LCD and external
monitor. Keep pressing the hot-key until you get the display to external monitor only.

1 Caring for Your eNOTE
Your eNOTE is the latest features in ultra-mobile personal computing and multimedia technology. If
properly cared for and maintained, the performance and reliability of the eNOTE can be greatly prolonged.
Important Safety Instructions
This section gives you detailed information about how to maintain a safe working environment while using
the eNOTE. You can maintain its condition and performance by following these guidelines. Please read it
carefully to ensure maximum safety.
• Before cleaning the eNOTE, make sure it is disconnected from any external power
supplies (i.e. AC adapter, car adapter and so on).
• When cleaning, do not use liquid or sprayed detergent for cleaning. Instead, use
moisture sheet or a cloth for cleaning.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the eNOTE and shall be easily accessible.
• Please keep the eNOTE from humidity.
• Lay the eNOTE on a reliable surface when installing. A drop or fall may cause injury.
• The openings on the enclosure are for air convection hence the eNOTE can be protected
from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
• Be careful of using power supply. The eNOTE has specific power requirements.
• Use only a power adapter approved for use with this eNOTE.
• The power adapter may have a 2-prong plug. This is an important safety feature. A
compatible outlet is required. If it is not available, find a qualified electrician to install one.
• While unplugging the power cord, disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cords you may use can support the total current
load of all the connected devices.
• Though your AC adapter is suitable for universal international voltage, it still requires a
stable and continual power supply. Make sure the voltage of the power source when
connect the eNOTE to the power outlet. If you are unsure of your local power
specifications, consult your dealer or local power company.
• Place the power cord in such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything
over the power cord.
• All cautions and warnings on the eNOTE should be-noted.
51
eNOTE User Guide
• If the eNOTE is not in use for a long time, disconnect it from mains to avoid possible
damage by transient over-voltage.
• Never pour any liquid into openings as this may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Never open the body of eNOTE. For safety reason, the eNOTE should only be opened by
qualified service personnel.
• If one of the following situations arises, have the eNOTE checked by service personnel:
➟ The power cord or plug is damaged.
➟ Liquid has penetrated into the eNOTE.
➟ The eNOTE has been exposed to moisture.
➟ The eNOTE has not worked well or you can not get it work according to user’s
manual.
➟ The eNOTE has dropped and damaged.
➟ The eNOTE has obvious sign of breakage.
• Do not leave this eNOTE in an environment unconditioned. Storage temperature above
60ºC (140ºF) may damage the eNOTE.
• An approved power cord has to be used for the eNOTE power supply. For a rated
current up to 6A and an equipment weight more than 3 kg, a power cord not lighter than
2
H05VV-F, 2G, 0.75mm
• To avoid any damage happened to the internal device, you should first disconnect the AC
adapter and remove the battery pack from the eNOTE when replacing any internal device.
The sound pressure level at the operator's position according to IEC 60704-1 is equal or less than

, has to be used.
Cleaning Your eNOTE
When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened
with a mild detergent solution or use the contents of any commercially available eNOTE cleaning kit.
Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the eNOTE. Also never spray
any liquids directly on the eNOTE case, keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has
become smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a soft, clean, lint-free
cloth, and gently wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use
paper towels to clean the display screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.
Maintaining the LCD Quality
52
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a significant role. After a typical working session, users
routinely close the eNOTE the cover. The display surface - no matter what type it is - and the
components inside the eNOTE radiate heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the
screen. To help prolong the life of your eNOTE, leave the cover open for ten minutes while the heat
disperses.
You should also enable the power management of your eNOTE to turn off the LCD power and display
when the system is inactive for some time. Adding a screen saver also helps prolong the life of your
eNOTE screen.
Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your eNOTE.
Maintaining Your Hard Disk
Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users must make it a habit of
doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is some maintenance you could do:
• Always back up your data files from your hard disk.
• Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper your files.
• Use SCANDISK occasionally to correct any errors found in the directory and File
Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused sectors.
• Never move or raise the eNOTE while the hard disk is being accessed, most especially
don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
• Use hard disk maintenance programs like Disk Defragmenter of Windows. These
reorganize your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation and improving your hard disk
access time.
• Install a system password in your eNOTE so others won't be able to use the hard disk.
Battery Care Guidelines
The battery pack furnished with the eNOTE requires reasonable care and handling to ensure efficient
operation and maximum life. There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if the battery pack is handled
improperly.
To ensure that the battery pack endures normal life cycle, always observe the following precautions when
handling the battery pack:
• Handle batteries carefully. Do not try to disassemble, crush, puncture, open, drop,
mutilate, short external contacts, disposed of in water or fire, or expose it to temperatures
higher than 60 C.
• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. Never
use an external charger other than the one supplied with your eNOTE.
53
