Safety and Maintenance .............................................. 1
Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation
of your notebook:
•Do not allow small children to play unattended with electri-
cal equipment. Children are incapable of judging potential
risks properly.
• Do not open the case of the notebook, the battery or the
power adaptor. 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 objects through the slots and openings of the
notebook. This may lead to electric shock, electrical shortcircuit 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 otherwise.
•The notebook is not intended to be operated in a heavy
industry company. Operation under extreme environ-
mental conditions can result in damage to your notebook.
• Do not operate the notebook during a thunderstorm, in
order to avoid damage through lightning strike.
• Do not cover the slots and openings of the notebook.
Never place objects on top of the notebook 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.
• In order to avoid damage to the display, do not touch it
with your fingers or sharp objects.

•Never lift the notebook by the TFT Display; doing so could
break the hinges.
Switch off your PC 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 PC is damaged or fluids have
leaked into it. Have the PC checked by customer service
first, because the PC may not be safely operated otherwise
and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!
Data Security
• The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or dam-
age 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 notebook and all connected peripherals away
from moisture, dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to
do so can lead to notebook malfunction or damage.
• 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 typi-
cal, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will
decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend you to 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 fallen below.

Ambient Temperature
• The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature between +41° and +104° F and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensation).
• When powered off, the notebook can be stored at tempera-
tures between 32° and 140° F.
•Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make espe-
cially 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 peaks or lightning strikes through the
power network.
• Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) tem-
perature before turning it on or connecting it to the power
adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can
create condensation within the PC and may cause it to
short-circuit.
•For transporting the notebook 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 for-
ward. 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 notebook 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 notebook
and within reach of the power adapter cables.
• 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.
• Only use the notebook with a power adaptor operating at AC 115V~/60 Hz. In European countries use the notebook
at AC 100-240V~, 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.
• 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 notebook, we recommend the use of a surge pro-tector.
•Firstly remove the plug, and then the connector of the
notebook, 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
notebook. Always hold the connector firmly when removing
it. Never pull on the power cord.

Cabling
• Arrange cables so no one can walk on or trip over them.
• Do not place objects on any of the cables.
• To avoid damage to your PC, 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 or IEEE
1394 connector. Please follow the appropriate instruc-tions for each device.
• Keep the notebook at least one meter (approximately three
feet) away from high frequency and magnetic interfer-ence 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. Please use only doubly screened cables in the
case of printer cables.
• Do not replace the cables supplied. Only use the cable sup-
plied with the notebook, since that cable will have been
tested extensively in our laboratory.
• Also only use the connection cables supplied with the de-
vices to connect your peripherals.
• Make sure that all connecting cables are connected with the
respective peripheral devices, in order to avoid perturbing
radiation. Remove any cables not needed.
• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that com-
plies with EN60950 “Safety of information technology equipment” or EN60065 “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”.

In order to have the notebook recognize the keyboard,
both devices need to be matched the first time they
are used. You do this by pressing, at the same time,
both the ID Link button that you find on the bottom
left of the keyboard and the button keyboard fre-quency match (17) situated on the back of the note-
book.
The operating system is loaded from the hard disk. During the
initial set-up, 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.
