3 Getting Started

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook
PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke,
burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek
servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery
pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.

NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.

WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.

TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.

With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an
AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC�

Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet rst allows you to test the AC outlet’s power

and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power
to the Notebook PC� The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is
within accepted ranges�

Power System

Using AC Power

The Notebook PC power is comprised of
two parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system� The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power
required by the Notebook PC� Your Notebook
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter�
That means that you may connect the power
cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V
outlets without setting switches or using power
converters� Different countries may require that
an adapter be used to connect the provided
US-standard AC power cord to a different
standard� Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well
as voltages� It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when
bringing power adapters to another country�

PC or specically approved by the manufacturer or retailer for use with this model or

else damage may occur to the Notebook PC.

To install the battery pack:

To remove the battery pack:

WARNING! For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in re, DO NOT

short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is
any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact,
turn OFF the Notebook PC and contact an authorized service center.

Battery Care

The Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times
it can be recharged� The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature,
humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used� It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature

range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook

PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature� Any temperatures above or
below this range will shorten the life of the battery� But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time
will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer
for this Notebook PC� Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy
extras for storing�

Using Battery Power

The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack� The battery pack consists
of a set of battery cells housed together� A fully charged pack will provide several hours of
battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the
BIOS setup� Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a
Notebook PC retailer�

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Your Notebook PC may or may not have its battery pack installed� If your Notebook PC does
not have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack�

22

3 Getting Started

IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk
checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use
may result in data loss.

IMPORTANT! To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds after
turning OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON.

NOTE: Before bootup, the display panel ashes when the power is turned ON. This is

part of the Notebook PC’s test routine and is not a problem with the display.

WARNING! DO NOT carry or cover a Notebook PC that is powered ON with any materials
that will reduce air circulation such as a carrying bag.

Powering ON the Notebook PC

The Notebook PC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON� If necessary,
you may adjust the brightness by using the hot keys� If you need to run the BIOS Setup to set

or modify the system conguration, press [F2] upon bootup to enter the BIOS Setup. If you
press [Tab] during the splash screen, standard boot information such as the BIOS version can
be seen. Press [ESC] and you will be presented with a boot menu with selections to boot from

your available drives�

The Power-On Self Test (POST)

When you turn ON the Notebook PC, it will rst run through a series of software-controlled

diagnostic tests called the Power-On Self Test (POST)� The software that controls the POST is
installed as a permanent part of the Notebook PC’s architecture� The POST includes a record

of the Notebook PC’s hardware conguration, which is used to make a diagnostic check of

the system� This record is created by using the BIOS Setup program� If the POST discovers
a difference between the record and the existing hardware, it will display a message on the

screen prompting you to correct the conict by running BIOS Setup. In most cases the record
should be correct when you receive the Notebook PC. When the test is nished, you may

get a message reporting “No operating system found” if the hard disk was not preloaded with
an operating system� This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected and ready for the
installation of a new operating system�

Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology

The S�M�A�R�T� (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) checks the
hard disk drive during POST and gives a warning message if the hard
disk drive requires servicing� If any critical hard disk drive warning is
given during bootup, backup your data immediately and run Windows disk
checking program� To run Window’s disk checking program: click Start >
select Computer > right-click a hard disk drive icon > choose Properties
> click the Tools tab > click Check Now > click Start� You can also select
“Scan ��� sectors” for more effective scan and repair but the process will
run slower�

23

Getting Started 3

NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the
low battery warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows
default uses STR).

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is
depleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small
amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion
or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

NOTE: Screen captures
shown here are examples

only and may not reect what

you see in your system.

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment,
which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery� A fully­charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power� But the actual

gure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits,

the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel�

Left-click the battery icon

Cursor over the battery icon without

WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge
over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three
months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.

NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage
is too high.

Charging the Battery Pack

Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack� The
battery pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power

using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the rst time. A new

battery pack must completely charge before the Notebook PC is disconnected from external
power� It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the Notebook PC is turned OFF
and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned ON� The battery status indicator
on the Notebook PC turns OFF when the battery pack is charged�

IMPORTANT! To protect the hard drive, wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your
Notebook PC before turning it back ON.

IMPORTANT! Do not use emergency shutdown while data is being written; doing so
can result in loss or destruction of your data.

Emergency Shutdown

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there is a manual way to
shutdown your Notebook PC:

Power Options

The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into sleep
or hibernation modes� Actual behavior of the power switch can be customized in Windows
Control Panel “Power Options�”

For other options, such as “Switch User, Restart, Sleep, or Shut Down,” click the arrowhead
next to the lock icon�

Restarting or Rebooting

After making changes to your operating system, you may be
prompted to restart the system� Some installation processes will
provide a dialog box to allow restart� To restart the system manually,

Hold the power button over 4 seconds

25

Getting Started 3

Sleep and Hibernate

Power management settings can be found in the Windows > Control

Panel > Power Options. In System Settings, you can dene “Sleep/

Hibernate” or “Shut Down” for closing the display panel or pressing
the power button� “Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves power when your
Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components�
When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document
scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as
if you never left� “Shut Down” will close all applications and ask if
you want to save your work if any are not saved�

Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status
on the hard disk drive� By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and
power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up
components like LAN needs to remain powered� “Hibernate” saves more power compared to
“Sleep”� Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option� Recover
by pressing the power button� (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode�)

Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR)� This function stores
your current data and status in RAM while many components are
turned OFF� Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep
(refresh) the data� Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the
lock icon to see this option� You can also use the keyboard shortcut

[Fn F1] to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key
except [Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)

Power Management Modes

The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can
use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)� You can control some of
these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup� ACPI power management settings
are made through the operating system� The power management features are designed to save
as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as
often as possible but also allow full operation on demand�

Thermal Power Control

There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state� These

methods cannot be congured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should

enter these states� The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU)�

• The fan turns ON for active cooling when temperature reaches the safe upper

limit�

• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds

the safe upper limit�

• The system shuts down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe

upper limit�

Using the Touchpad

Light pressure with the tip of your nger is all that

is required to operate the touchpad� Because
the touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects

cannot be used in place of your ngers. The

touchpad’s primary function is to move the
cursor around or select items displayed on the

screen with the use of your ngertip instead

of a standard desktop mouse� The following
illustrations demonstrate proper use of the
touchpad�

NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap
the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the
touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.

Caring for the Touchpad

The touchpad is pressure sensitive� If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged� Take
note of the following precautions�

• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.

• Do not touch the touchpad if your ngers are dirty or wet.

• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.

• Do not scratch the touchpad with your nger nails or any hard objects.

Storage Devices

Storage devices allow the Notebook PC to read or write documents, pictures, and other les to

various data storage devices� This Notebook PC has the following storage devices:

• Hard Disk Drive

• Memory (RAM)

• Optical Drive

• Flash Memory Card Reader

• ExpressCard

Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds

than oppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a

replaceable hard disk drive� Current hard drives support S�M�A�R�T� (Self
Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures
before they happen�

IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.
Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong
vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely

be the rst or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.

Memory (RAM)

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the component in a computer where
the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are
kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer’s processor�
Upon startup the BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the

system and congures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-

Self-Test) process�

This is only
an example�

Optical Drive

Inserting an optical disc

NOTE: It is normal to hear as well as feel the disc spinning with great intensity in the
optical drive while data is read.

1� While the Notebook PC’s power is ON,

press the drive’s eject button and the tray
will eject out partially�

2� Gently pull on the drive’s front panel and

slide the tray completely out� Be care­ful not to touch the drive lens and other
mechanisms� Make sure there are no
obstructions that may get jammed under
the drive’s tray�

3� Hold the disc by the edge and face the

disc’s printed side up� Push down on
both sides of the disc’s center until the
disc snaps onto the hub� The hub should
be higher than the disc when correctly
mounted�

4� Slowly push the drive’s tray back in� The

drive will begin reading the table of con­tents (TOC) on the disc� When the drive
stops, the disc is ready to be used�

37

Using the Notebook PC 4

An optical drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a disc in the drive� After the disc
is properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be
written to or changed on the disc� Using the proper software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive
can allow CD-RW discs to be used like a hard drive with writing, deleting, and editing capabilities�

Vibration is normal for high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced discs or prints� To decrease
vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the disc�

Listening to Audio CDs

The optical drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio� Insert
the audio CD and Windows automatically opens an audio player and begins playing� Depending on
the DVD audio disc and installed software, it may require that you open a DVD player to listen to
DVD audio� You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows speaker icon on the taskbar�

WARNING! If the disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the disc can be
damaged when the tray is closed. Always watch the disc closely while closing the
tray slowly to prevent damage.

Using the Optical Drive

Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics
involved� Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your disc suppliers� Unlike desktop
optical drives, the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the disc in place regardless of the angle�
When inserting a disc, it is important that the disc be pressed onto the center hub or else the
optical drive tray will scratch the disc�

Emergency eject

Eject the tray and gently pry the edge of the
disc upwards at an angle to remove the disc
from the hub�

Removing an optical disc

The emergency eject is located in a hole on the
optical drive and is used to eject the optical drive
tray in case the electronic eject does not work�
Do not use the emergency eject in place of the
electronic eject� Note: Make sure not to stab the
activity indicator located in the same area�

Actual location will

vary by model�

Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in
Ethernet controller�

Network Connection

Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the
Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch� For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds,
your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring� If
you plan on running the interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX
/ 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4 hub)� For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair
wiring� 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to
a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled� The software default is to use the fastest setting
so no user-intervention is required�

1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.

Twisted-Pair Cable

The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or
Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE)� The end
connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11
telephone connectors� If connecting two computers together without a hub in
between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model)� (Gigabit
models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional�)
