Safety Instructions
Dangers for children and people with reduced ability to
operate machinery
• Do not allow small children to play unattended with electrical equipment. Children
are incapable of judging potential risks properly.
• Keep the appliance and its accessories out of reach of children.
DANGER!
Keep plastic packaging out of reach of children. There is a
risk of suffocation.
Operational Safety
Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation of your notebook:
• Do not open the case of the notebook, the battery or the power adapter. When the
case is open there is a danger of severe electric shock.
• CD-ROM-/CDRW-/DVD-drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must remain in
their sealed casing. DO NOT remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers may be
harmful.
• Do not insert foreign objects through the slots and openings of the notebook. This
may lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your
notebook.
• Slots and openings in the notebook serve to ventilate it. Do not cover up these
openings, because the notebook could overheat.
• Operation under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to your
notebook.
• Do not operate the notebook during a thunderstorm, in order to avoid damage
through lightning strike.
• Never place objects on top of the notebook that would exert any pressure on the LCD
display. There is a danger that even slight pressure may break the LCD display.
• An injury hazard exists when the LCD display breaks. Wear protective gloves when
handling any broken parts. Wash your hands with soap.
After Sales Support TEL: 1300 884 987 WEB Support: www.medion.com.au
12
• To avoid damage to the LCD display, never open it more than 120º. Always hold the
display firmly in the centre when opening up or positioning it. Do not forcibly open it.
• In order to avoid damage to the LCD display, do not touch it with your fingers or
sharp objects.
• Never lift the notebook by the LCD display; doing so could break the hinges.
• The charging pin inside the notebook is connected to the motherboard. When the
notebook is being charged, be careful not to pull the charger pin connection.
Switch off your notebook immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact the
MEDION Help Desk if
• …the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged. Replace the
defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no circumstances may a
defective power cord be repaired.
• ...the housing of the notebook is damaged or fluids have leaked into it. Have the
notebook checked by customer service first as the notebook may not be safely
operated and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!
Never carry out repairs yourself
CAUTION!
Never try to open or repair the appliance yourself. There
is a risk of electric shock!
• If there is a fault, contact the MEDION Help Desk or other suitable specialist workshop.
Data Security
ATTENTION!
Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an
external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability
for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no claims will
be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or
consequential losses.
After Sales Support TEL: 1300 884 987 WEB Support: www.medion.com.au
Setup Location
• Do not keep or use your notebook and all connected equipment in damp
environments and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to prevent operational
problems.
• It is highly recommended you do not use the notebook outdoors.
• Operate the notebook and all peripherals on a stable, balanced and vibration-free
surface.
• Do not leave the base of your notebook on your lap or any part of your body for a
long period of time. The notebook can become very warm while it is turned on or
charging and can cause discomfort or injury from heat exposure.
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but
completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We
recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the
formation of the smell.
13
Ambient Temperature
• The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between
5° C (+41° F) and 30° C (+86° F) and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80%
(without condensation).
• When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between
0° C and 60° C (+32° F and 140° F).
• Unplug the power during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the
antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector for additional
safety, in order to protect your notebook from being damaged by power surges or
lightning strikes through the power network.
• Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before turning it on
or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity
can create condensation within the notebook and may cause it to short-circuit.
• For transporting the notebook keep the original packing.

14
Working in Comfort
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimise the potential
for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.
• Back – While sitting at your work station, make sure your back is supported by the
chair’s backrest in an upright position or angled slightly backwards.
• Arms – Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with
forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
• Wrists – Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard,
mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up
or down.
• Legs – Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower
legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the
floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height
adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
• Head – Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with
your head or torso twisted.
• Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
After Sales Support TEL: 1300 884 987 WEB Support: www.medion.com.au
Connecting
Pay attention to the following information in order to connect your notebook correctly:
Power Supply
DANGER !
Do not open the power adapter housing. When
the housing is open there is a danger of severe
electric shock. There is a risk of electric shock.
It contains no user-serviceable parts.
• The electric outlet must be in the vicinity of the notebook and within reach of the
power adapter cords.
• To disconnect your notebook from the power source, or set the notebook to battery
operation, remove the power cord from the notebook’s power socket.
15
• Only use the notebook with a power adapter operating at AC 110-240V~/50-60 Hz.
For details on power consumption, please refer to the rating plate on the rear of your
notebook. If you are unsure of the type of power supply available at the point of use,
ask your local power company.
• Use only the supplied power cord and power adapter.
• To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges, lightning
strikes, or other electrical damage to your notebook, we recommend the use of a
surge protector.
• To detach the power adapter from the mains power supply remove the plug from the
power source first and then remove the connector from the notebook. A reverse
sequence could damage the power adapter or the notebook. Always hold the
connector firmly when removing it. Never pull on the power cord.
After Sales Support TEL: 1300 884 987 WEB Support: www.medion.com.au
16
Cabling
• Arrange cables so that no one can walk on or trip over them.
• Do not place objects on any of the cables.
• To avoid damage to your notebook, connect your peripherals (e.g. keyboard, mouse
and monitor) whilst your notebook is powered off. Some devices can be connected
whilst your notebook is in use. These devices usually have a USB connector. Please
follow the appropriate instructions for each device.
• Keep the notebook at least 1 metre (approximately 3 feet) away from high frequency
and magnetic interference sources (e.g. televisions, loudspeaker cabinets, mobile
telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of data.
• Please note that only shielded cables shorter than 3 metres (9.84 ft) should be used
for the LPT, COM, USB, IEEE 1394, audio, video and network interfaces with this
notebook. When connecting a printer to your notebook, please only use a printer
cable with double shielding.
• Only use power cables/connection cables supplied with the notebook and its devices
as the cables have been extensively tested.
• It is recommended to disconnect any cables from your notebook that are not
connected to a peripheral device or are not in use.
• Only devices complying with the following safety requirements should be connected
to your notebook: "AS/NZS 60960 Safety of information technology equipment" or "
AS/NZS 60065 Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus".
Touchpad
• Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the
touchpad. Because the touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in
place of your fingers. Using a pen or other object can damage the touchpad or cause
the notebook to malfunction.
After Sales Support TEL: 1300 884 987 WEB Support: www.medion.com.au
17
Battery Operation
To extend the life and power of your battery and guarantee secure operation, the
instructions below should be followed:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or heat for long periods.
• Do not dispose of the battery by fire.
• Disregarding these instructions will lead to damage and under some circumstances
may even cause the battery to explode.
• Do not open the battery housing; it contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Keep the battery away from electrically conductive materials, chemical substances and
cleaning agents.
• Only use the originally supplied power adapter to charge the battery.
• Ensure (through the display or the signalling sound of the notebook) that the battery
is completely discharged before recharging it.
• Replace the battery only with the same type or an equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Charge the battery only until the battery charging light goes out. Also, refer to the
instructions under “Charging the Battery” on page 33 for instructions on checking the
battery level.
• Only change the battery when the unit is switched off.

important section on Safety. This notebook comes with software fully pre-installed. You
do not have to install software from any of the discs supplied.
How to Start:
Step 1
► Insert the battery before bringing the notebook into operation by sliding the
battery pack into the compartment. The battery should remain locked in order to
avoid it falling out.
23
► Connect the supplied power adapter to the notebook at the notebook power
socket (21). Connect the power adapter via a power cord to a free AC power
outlet. Set the switch on the power adapter to the I setting, in order to supply the
notebook with electricity and to charge the battery.
(Set the switch to 0 to interrupt the electricity supply.).

► Push the display latch to the right with your thumb and then open the display to
the desired position with your thumb and index finger.
NOTICE!
Please ensure that the battery is inserted and the power adapter
is connected when operating the notebook for the first time. If
you fail to do this, Windows ® 7 will not be able to calculate the
performance index correctly.
► Switch the notebook on by operating the On/Off Switch (7). The notebook starts
and now goes through a number of phases.
NOTICE!
Make sure there is no bootable disc (e.g. the Recovery disc) in the
optical drive. Such discs will prevent the operating system from
loading from the hard drive.

The operating system is loaded from the hard drive. During the initial setup, the loading
process takes slightly longer than normal to register the operating system and the
individual components completely. Your operating system is finished loading when a
welcome screen is shown on your display.
NOTICE!
The initial installation may take up to 30 minutes to complete. Do
no unplug the notebook from the mains or switch it off during the
initial installation. This may adversely affect the installation. Only
switch the notebook off after installation has been completed
successfully and the Windows desktop appears.
Step 2
The greeting procedure will guide you through a series of dialogue boxes. The information
in each dialogue box will explain the steps that need to be taken.
Should you have any questions just click on
.
• License Agreement
The greeting procedure also displays the license agreement. Please read this carefully.
It contains important legal information on the use of your software. In order to see the
full text, use the mouse and the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to move
downwards until you have reached the end of the document. You accept the
agreement by clicking on the “I accept the agreement” option field. Only by doing
so will you be entitled to use the product under lawful terms and conditions.

Step 3
After the login procedure the Windows® desktop appears on your screen. This can be
adjusted so that the screen of your computer looks different, however basic operation is
guaranteed. You will find a brief overview on the following pages.
NOTICE!
Windows might update and configure data (e.g. by means of
new updates) in the first days after the initial installation. This
could lead to delays during shutting down and starting up the
notebook computer. Do not switch off the laptop/notebook
prematurely for this reason. This could have a negative effect on
the installation.
Short Description of the Windows® Desktop
Start Button
Clicking the Start button brings up a menu where you can access help, software
programs, files, and settings
All Programs
All of the software programs installed on your notebook are ordinarily listed here. Click All
Programs to reveal an extensive menu.
Taskbar
You can start programs and switch between already active programs using the taskbar
beneath the screen. You can place every program in the taskbar under Windows® 7, so
that you can always open it with a single click. Furthermore, you can rearrange the
symbols on the taskbar by clicking on them and dragging them to the desired position.
Move the cursor over the symbols, and the system will display a miniature of every file or
window open in the program. When you move your cursor over the miniature, the system
will display a full-screen preview of the particular window. If you move the cursor away
from the miniature, the full-screen preview will close.
Windows Search
Windows Search helps you find almost all data located on the notebook, quickly and
easily. With Windows® 7, you get search results with greater relevance, and they are easier
to understand.
Program Bar
The most commonly used software programs are listed here. The operating system
recognises all this automatically. Clicking on an entry with the right mouse key enables
you to decide which entry on the list to keep or to remove. The program linked to the
input is not erased.

27
System Tray
System tray on the current time. When certain events occur, for example, upon receipt of
an e-mail message or upon opening the task manager, it may happen that too many
notification symbols are displayed in this field. Windows® displays a notification symbol
when an event occurs. After a short time, Windows® places the symbol in the background,
in order to maintain the straightforwardness of the field. You can access the symbols
placed in the background by clicking on a button in the system tray.
