● This Mobile mini note PC is designed to be used with the JVC BN-LS11E/LL21E battery packs and, to recharge them or to supply power to the Mobile mini note PC from an AC outlet, use the provided AC Adapter and Power Cord. (An appropriate conversion adapter may be necessary to accommodate different designs of AC outlets in different countries.)

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.)

Do not allow the Mobile mini note PC or AC adapter to operate with the base resting directly on anyone’s lap. Allowing sustained contact may cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, as with any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections

between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your

equipment.

DO be careful with the LCD panel on equipment. DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for

unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of

road safety. It is illegal to watch the LCD panel while driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating

will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case —

this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

2. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

3. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may

cause a fire or explosion. WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire. Caution! Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the Mobile mini note PC. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

CAUTIONS

General Battery Precautions

Use only the following batteries:

Please make note of the following rules for battery use. When misused, the batteries can leak or explode.

1. When replacing batteries, refer to page ••.

2. Do not use any different size of batteries from

those specified.

3. Be sure to install batteries in the correct

direction.

4. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat

as they can leak or explode.

5. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. To avoid hazards . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals. When

transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

Terminals

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding

60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

.... use only specified chargers.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where temperatures are

within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high

temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery

every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period of time.

.... remove from charger or power unit when not in use,

as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

●

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ............. 10°C to 35°C

Operation ........... 0°C to 40°C

Storage ............... –10°C to 30°C

●

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

Unknown partition on hard disk

IMPORTANT!!

This PC reserves the image data required for recovery as a “recovery area” in the hard disk. If you accidentally delete a partition of the recovery area, you cannot recover it. The important points to keep in mind are:

• DO NOT attempt to delete a hard disk area shown as an “Unknown partition” using the Windows XP “Administrative Tools”, or to assign it as another drive name.

• DO NOT attempt to delete the recovery area using specific software available in the market by initializing or changing any partition in the hard disk.

Should you delete the recovery area and ask us to re-setup your PC, you will be liable for the cost.

PC RECOVERY (REPEATED PC SETUP)

Setting Up Your PC Again

Before starting Repeated PC Setup

1. What is the Recovery?

When you return your PC to the original state during shipment, it is called "PC recovery."

You can recover your PC in one of the following two ways. (1) Initialize the hard disk and restore all files. (2) Restore the first partition of the hard disk only.

Cautions

Do not reduce the capacity of drive C below 11G bytes. For details, see "Selecting the recovery method (disk partitioning)" on Page 67.

2. Before starting Repeated Setup

The following explains the preparation required befor system recovery.

• You may not solve the problem even if you have recovered your PC. If the problem

continues, consult our PC Technical Support Centre.

• You can use System Recovery on your PC only. You cannot use this software for the PC of

another manufacturer.

Cautions

1) File backup

• If you have recovered your PC, it will have been returned to the status before shipment. All files you have created, applications you have added, and various parameters you have set will have been cleared and lost.

Before starting system recovery, back up any important files you have created on CD-R disk or hard disk drive D of your PC.

• If you have backed up the important information in drive D, you must select the option in Step 2 "Select the recovery method (disk partitioning)" on Page 67 and you must recover drive C only.

2) When starting System Recovery

Detach all peripherals from your PC. If not, the recovery may stop or the required operations may differ from those written in the manual.

3. Repeated setup

Execute the Recovery program to restore the information on the hard disk. The Recovery program returns both your PC and all applications back to the original state before shipment. If you wish to set up the application software separately, upload them from the Application CD-ROM one at a time. (See "To Set Up the Standard Applications Again" on Page 28.)

EN 67

System Recovery Procedure

1. Hold down the Alt and F8 keys and press the Power button to start up your PC.

When message "Do you wish to continue? (Y/N)" appears, respond with Y.

Tips

If you respond with N, the recovery is canceled. The PC will restart and the Windows OS will start up.

2. Read the License Agreement when displayed.

If you accept the Agreement, type Y.

Tips

If you respond with N, the recovery is canceled. The PC will restart and the Windows OS will start up.

3. Select the recovery method (disk partitioning).

When message "Select the recovery method (A (Recommended)/C)" appears, respond with the 1 or 2 key as follows.

1 If you respond with A:

All disk partitions and files of the hard disk are recovered, and the entire PC system is initialized to its original state.

2 If you respond with C:

The files of drive C are recovered and initialized. (Usually, all data of drive D remains unaltered, as they are, and only the data of drive C is initialized. If drive D has already been removed, the PC only has drive C.)

4. The system recovery starts, and its progress is shown on the screen.

68 EN

5. After the system recovery has been completed, the message "Turn Power switch off and restart the PC." appears. Restart your PC.

Your PC has been returned to the original state before shipment.

6. Set up the Windows OS by following the "Initial Setup of Windows OS " procedure on Page 18.
