Safety Instructions
Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation of your netbook:
• Do not allow small children to play unattended with electrical equipment.
Children are incapable of judging potential risks properly.
• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of
suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
• Do not open the case of the netbook, the battery or the power adaptor.
When the case is open there is a danger of severe electric shock.
• Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the netbook. This
may lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage
your netbook.
• Slots and openings in the netbook serve to ventilate it. Do not cover up
these openings, because the netbook could overheat.
• The netbook is not intended to be operated in a heavy industry company.
Operation under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to
your netbook.
• Do not operate the netbook during a thunderstorm, in order to avoid
damage through lightning strike.
• Never place objects on top of the netbook that would exert any pressure on
the display. There is a danger that even slight pressure may break the TFT
display.
• There is a risk of injury if the TFT display breaks. Use protective gloves to
pack up the broken pieces and contact customer service to arrange for
proper disposal. It is important to thoroughly wash your hands after
handling a broken TFT display. There is a chance that chemicals may have
been released.
• To avoid damage to the TFT Display, never open it more than 120º. Do not
forcibly open it.
• In order to avoid damage to the display, do not touch it with your fingers or
sharp objects.
• Never lift the netbook by the TFT Display; doing so could break the hinges.

Switch off your Netbook immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact
customer service …
• … 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.
• ... if the housing of the Netbook is damaged or fluids have leaked into it.
Have the Netbook checked by customer service first, because the Netbook
may not be safely operated otherwise and there may be a life-threatening
risk of electrocution!
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 can be accepted for
damages resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.
Set-Up Location
• Keep your netbook and all connected peripherals away from moisture, dust,
heat and direct sunlight. Failure to do so can lead to Netbook malfunction or
damage.
• It is highly recommended you do not use the netbook outdoors.
• Operate the netbook and all peripherals on a stable, balanced and vibration-
free surface.
• Do not leave the base of your netbook on your lap or any part of your body
for a long period of time. The netbook 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. During the development of this
product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly lowered.
UK/ N. IRELAND HELPLINE 0871 37 61 020
REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508
-4-
Ambient Temperature
• The netbook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between
+41° (5° C) and +104° F (40° C) and at a relative humidity between 20% and
70% (without condensation).
• When powered off, the netbook can be stored at temperatures between 32°
and 140° F (0° and 60° C).
• Unplug the cable 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 netbook from being damaged
by power peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.
• Wait until the netbook 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 Netbook and
may cause it to short-circuit.
• For transporting the netbook keep the original packing.

Working in Comfort
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the
potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper
posture.
• Back – While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported
by the chair’s backrest in erect 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 trunk twisted.
• Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid
fatigue.

Connecting
Pay attention to the following information, in order to connect your netbook
correctly:
Power supply
• Do not open the power adapter housing. When the housing is open there is
a danger of severe electric shock. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
• The electric outlet must be in the vicinity of the netbook and within reach of
the power adapter cables.
• To disconnect your netbook from the power source, or set the netbook to
battery operation, remove the power cord from the netbook’s power socket.
• Only use the netbook with a power adaptor operating at
AC 110-240V~/50-60 Hz. For details on power consumption, please refer to
the rating plate on the rear of your netbook. 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.
• If using an extension cord, make certain that it meets your local safety
requirements. If in doubt, consult an electrician.
• To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges,
lightning strikes, or other electrical damage to your netbook, we
recommend the use of a surge protector.
• Firstly remove the plug, and then the connector of the netbook, from the
power source, if you want to detach the network adapter from the mains
power supply. A reverse sequence could damage the network adapter or the
netbook. Always hold the connector firmly when removing it. Never pull on
the power cord.

Power Adapter
Your netbook is supplied with a universal AC power adapter, which automatically
adjusts to the available power source. The following levels are supported:
AC 100-240V~/ 50-60 Hz. Please follow the power supply safety
instructions found on page 5.
The power adapter is connected via a power cord to an AC outlet. The DC power
lead from the power adapter is connected to the left side of the netbook (9).
The adapter has an on and off switch. No electricity will be used and the netbook
will not be supplied with electricity if the switch is set to OFF (0).
The adapter provides the netbook with power in the ON setting (1) and also
charges the battery. The power supply indicators of the netbook provide details on
the operating state. The battery is also being charged when you are working on
your netbook with the power adapter. The power adapter is still live if the netbook
is not connected with it. You should therefore unplug the power adapter from the
outlet if it is not connected to the netbook or set the adapter to OFF (0).
Warning!
Use only the power adapter and power cord supplied with your
netbook.

Power Management
Your netbook offers automatic and modifiable power saving functions that you can
use to maximize battery life and reduce overall operating costs. The power saving
modes are known as sleep mode and hibernate mode.
Sleep Mode
When in sleep mode, the contents of the RAM of your netbook are preserved while
practically all other components of your netbook are shut down, reducing your
power consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the keypad, you can
bring your netbook back to the fully operational state. You will restart at precisely
the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The computer takes
less time to go into and come out of sleep mode, but uses more power than
hibernate mode.
Hibernate Mode
The hibernate mode is an alternative to a complete shutdown of the netbook. In
this mode all data from RAM (system and graphic data) are copied to the hard disk
as a file. As soon as the data has been safely saved, the netbook powers down.
When the netbook is switched on again, this file is written back to RAM by the BIOS.
In a few moments the netbook is in the exact state as when it was last used. If while
working on a document the netbook is closed (assuming the correct ACPI setting),
the netbook saves the data in RAM for you automatically. You will restart at
precisely the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The
computer uses no power while it is in hibernate mode, but it takes a little longer for
the computer to go into and come out of hibernation compared to sleep.

The Network
What is a network?
A network means connecting your netbook to one or several other computers.
Users can transfer data between computers and share resources such as printers,
modems and hard disk drives.
Here are some practical examples:
• You can exchange E-mail and manage appointments in an
office.
• Users can share a printer in a network and save their data on a central server.
• Users can share one modem among computers for Internet access.
• Two or more computers can be connected to play network games or share
data.
Ethernet-Network
If your netbook has an Ethernet connection, you can use this to connect to a
network.
The following explanation refers to netbooks with a network connector.
Connect one end to the RJ45 connection (Western plug) at the network interface of
your netbook (16) and the other to another PC or a hub/switch.
The Windows Help and Support Centre offer extensive information about
networking your Netbook. You can access this information by clicking on Start,

Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless
network link with an access point or directly with another wireless-enabled PC.
Using the key combination Fn + F11 you can enable or disable the wireless LAN
function. A corresponding LED will light.
Warning!
Make sure the Wireless LAN option is switched OFF in any
environment where it might interfere with critical and sensitive
devices, e.g., on aircraft, in hospitals and other medical centres, etc.
Conditions
An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your netbook and
controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband
connection such as DSL). Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports,
universities or Internet cafés. They offer access to networks or to the Internet.
Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a
public access point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and
printers at home, you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or
cable) modem. Some access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband
modem. Check with your retailer or Internet Service Provider to find the best
solution for your needs. A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality
can also be created without an access point. This will allow you to share files,
but you will need an access point and a router to share an Internet connection. The
wireless network connection works in accordance with the
IEEE 802.11n Standard (compatible with the 802.11b/g Standard). The 802.11a
Standard is not supported. If encrypted transmission is used, this must operate
according to the same principle on all devices. Encryption is a method of
protecting the network from unauthorized access. The transmission speed (max.
300 Mbp/s
*
) can vary according to the distance and loading of the partner.
Safety Handling
Components
Aid Appendix
*
300 Mbit/s is a gross value. A maximum of 75 Mbit/s will be achieved on the
application level. A WLAN router in accordance with the 801.11 standard will be
necessary, in order to be able to exploit the complete performance.

Troubleshooting within the Network
Why does an error message appear when I click on the network
environment?
The computer name must be unique on the network and may
not be the same as the task group.
It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What
might be the problem?
Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different
speed (e. g. 10 instead 100 Mbit/s) and your network computer
is unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to
the compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable,
otherwise use a patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the
problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the
problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of
interference.

USB ports provide an easy way to connect many peripheral devices to your
Netbook (11). You can use any USB device with any USB port. Your netbook will
have 3 USB 2.0 connection sockets (USB 1.1 compatible).
Some USB devices require that you reinstall software drivers when you connect the
device to a different USB port than the one originally used. This can be avoided by
always using the device with the same USB port.
Devices connected directly to the USB bus should not draw more than 500 mA.
Should the devices need more power than this, it will be necessary to provide a
powered hub. The data transfer speed is 1.5 Mbit/s or 12 Mbit/s, depending on the
device connected.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still have to install the enclosed discs?
No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The discs are
only intended as backup copies.
What is the Windows activation?
Your operating instructions include a chapter about this subject.
When do I have to activate Windows?
Your software has been preactivated in the factory. An activation
will only be required, if ...
... several components are replaced by others.
... you installed a new motherboard.
... a different BIOS version has been installed.
... you install the software on to another computer.
When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter
“System Restore” concerning the possible alternatives.
Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/
application disc?
The first partition is formatted with the file system NTFS.
Compared to FAT32 this file system offers more security and a
more efficient access. However, NTFS partitions can only be read
from operating systems supporting this. This is not the case in the
aforementioned disc.

System Restore
Windows XP® provides a useful function (System Restore) enabling the storage of
the so-called Recovery points.
The system remembers the current configuration as a snapshot and returns to this,
if necessary. The advantage is that an unsuccessful installation can be cancelled.
Recovery points are created automatically by the system, but they can also be set
manually.
You can determine and configure yourself the maximum memory taken up by this.
You find this program in the program file under accessories, system programs.
We recommend setting a recovery point before installing a new software or
driver. If the system does not run stable any longer this enables you usually to
return to a workable configuration without deleting newly created documents. In
the next paragraph read your options for a repair of an incorrect installation.
Correction
Windows XP® includes various functions ensuring that the Netbook as well as the
installed applications and devices work correctly.
These functions assist you in solving the problems which might occur by adding,
deleting or replacing files required for the functionality of the operating system, the
applications and devices. The recovery function or functions you use depend on the
type of occurring problem or error. For detailed information refer to the Windows
help.
Enter the search word “Overview over the repair” in order to evaluate which of
the following functions is the safest way to
correct your problem:
• Backup
• Recreation of device drivers
• Deactivation of the device
• System recreation
• Last configuration known to function
• Protected Mode and system recreation
• Recreation console
• Windows installation disk

Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional components, please observe the Guidelines on
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Please note that only shielded cables shorter than
3 meters (9.84 ft) should be used for the LPT, COM, USB, IEEE 1394, audio,
video and network interfaces with this netbook.
• Keep the netbook at least one meter (approximately three 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.
ISO 13406-2 Class II
Active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixel (WXGA), which are
in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about
1.8 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors
and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or
incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur.
There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of
defective pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different
manufacturers.
We, therefore, adhere to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406-2,
class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. These requirements
are summarized below.
Within ISO-standard 13406-2 the general requirements regarding pixel defects are
defined. Pixel defects are classified into three failure types and four failure classes.
Each individual pixel is made up of three sub-pixels in the primary colours (red,
green, blue).

Pixel structure

Red
Types of Pixel Failures:
• Type 1:
A constantly lit pixel (a bright, white spot), even though it is not addressed.
A white pixel is caused when all three sub-pixel are lit.
• Type 2:
A pixel that does not light up (dark, black spot), although it is addressed
• Type 3:
Abnormal or defective red, green or blue sub-pixels.
(E.g. constantly lit with half the brightness, one colour is not shining,
blinking or flickering, but not belonging to Type 1 or 2 Pixel Failures)
In addition: A cluster of type 3 (= 2 or more defective sub-pixels in an array of
5 x 5 pixel). A cluster is an array of 5 x 5 pixel (15 x 5 sub-pixel).

1280 x 1024 3 3 7 0 3
1400 x 1050 3 3 8 0 3
Example:
A 17” - SXGA-display consists of 1280 horizontal and 1024 vertical picture dots
(pixel), which amounts to a total of 1,31 million pixels. Based on one million pixels
this translates into a factor of about 1.31.
Class II type failure consequently allows for three defects each of type 1 and type 2
and 7 defects of type 3 and 3 cluster of type 3.
These cases are normally not covered by warranty.
If the number of failures exceeds the figures of any category mentioned above then
this may be covered by the warranty.
