Warning: For better ventilation of heat generated and gathered inside the system unit,
you are advised not to block the ventilation holes. For notebook with
ventilation holes on the system chassis, please avoid putting system unit on
fabric surfaces when it is powered on. Fabric surfaces not only tend to
block the ventilation holes located on the system chassis, fabric threads
(especially from carpets and rugs) would invariably come off and get inside
the system unit which in turn would deteriorate the overall performance of
the system’s ventilation.

User's Guide Battery
Chapter 2 Battery
2.1 Battery Pack
Your notebook is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery
pack. Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration, product 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 notebook supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to
recharge battery:
• Make sure the battery pack is installed in the notebook.
• Connect the AC adapter to the notebook and to an electrical outlet.
When a battery pack is being recharged, the battery LED (located near the front side of the
system unit) would be lit. For details on the LED, please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the
notebook is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge.
Page 2-1
Battery User's Guide
2.3 Questions And Answers
Q: I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack during recharge. Is it normal?
A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a
protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to
worry.
Q: My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. Why?
A: 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
the battery 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.
Q: 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?
A: The batteries will self-discharge (1% per day for Li-Ion) when they are not being
recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use.
Always keep the battery inside the notebook and have the AC adapter connected
whenever possible.
Q: I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it.
A: 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. Pre-
Charge may take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
Page 2-2
User's Guide Battery
2.4 Battery Maintenance
To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the
notebook deplete its battery power completely before recharging.
To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your
notebook consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD
as much as possible, and the LCD should be set as bright as possible. When the battery is
empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should
be within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery.
2.5 Power Consumption
The Windows™ operating system has incorporated the latest state-of-the-art ACPI
(
Advanced Configuration Power Interface) power management methodology. In order to
fully utilize the power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to spend
sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power management concept from your
operating system.
In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power Options of the Control
Panel according to the version of Windows™ Operating System the notebook applies.
We shall not describe them in details.
Page 2-3
Battery User's Guide
2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power
conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:
• Use the AC power whenever possible.
• Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher
power usage.
• Try to use the HDD to read and write files, instead of using the external USB
FDD.
Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure the battery pack is
installed in the battery pack compartment.
2.7 Removing The Battery Pack
This battery pack can easily be removed and replaced. Make sure that the computer is
properly shutdown before changing the battery pack. If you would like to change the
battery pack while power is on, make sure this battery pack is not the only electrical source
to the system unit. Follow the steps below to remove the battery pack.
To insert the battery pack, reverse the steps above.
• Make sure the system is properly
shutdown.
• Flip the system upside down as
shown.
• Push the battery latch to unlock
position as shown by #1.
• Push the battery latch to unlock
position as shown by #2.
• Maintain the battery latches in unlock
positions.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
• This equipment complies FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.
• If this device is going to be operated in 5.15 ~5.25GHz frequency range, then it is
restricted in indoor environment only.
USA and Canada Safety Requirements And Notices
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified
equipment. The Intel PRO/Wireless LAN MiniPCI Adapter products meet the Human
Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper
operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in
exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
• Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or
touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if
not, the radio may be damaged.
Use in specific environments:
• The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed
by the safety directors of such environments.
• The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
• The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each
hospital.
Antenna use:
• In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should
be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all
persons.
• High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally
installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more
from body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna
manufacturer for proper installation requirements.

Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near
unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been
modified to be qualified for such use.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency
wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
