NNGGLLIISSH

POWER ADAPTER

Your Notebook 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 14. 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 rear of the Notebook (see page 24).

The adapter provides the Notebook with power and also charges the battery. The power supply indicators of the Notebook (see page 26) provide details on the operating state. The battery is also being charged when you are working on your Notebook with the power adapter.

The power adapter is still live if the Notebook is not connected with it. You should therefore unplug the power adapter from the outlet if it is not connected to the Notebook.

WARNING! Use only the power adapter and power cord supplied with your Notebook.

BATTERY OPERATION

In order to extend the life and power of your battery, and to guarantee reliable operation, it is essential that the safety instructions on page 15 are followed.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Slide the battery, contacts first, into the battery compartment.

REMOVING THE BATTERY

Slide the battery locks to remove the battery.

WARNING! Do not remove the battery while

the Notebook is running on battery power. You increase the possibility of losing data.

NNGGLLIISSH

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The battery is charged via the power adapter. If the power adapter is connected, it charges the battery automatically, whether the Notebook is turned on or not.

When the Notebook is switched off, full charging takes a few hours. If the Notebook is switched on, the charging process takes a significantly shorter time. However, it is recommended that from time to time you discharge the battery completely and recharge it afterwards with the Notebook switched off. You can discharge the battery without losing data, if you turn your notebook on without using any application and no power adapter. As soon as the battery is empty your notebook will enter the hibernate mode. We recommend doing this procedure every time you think the battery power is losing efficiency.

A fully charged Li-Ion battery will provide power for around 2 hours of operation. However, the battery life will vary according to how the power saving functions are set, the way you work, the size of the main memory and the display type.

When working in Windows an audible warning signal will be given off as soon as the battery level drops below a set minimum value. When this happens, the processing power is reduced in order to save power.

NOTE: Battery warning signals and "LowBattery" mode will be heard immediately when the power pack is first connected.

CHECKING THE BATTERY LEVEL

In order to check the current level of the battery, move the cursor over the power symbol in the taskbar.

OOWWEERR

UUPPPPLLY

When in battery mode, a battery symbol is displayed and when the power adapter is in use a power connector is displayed. If the battery is being charged the power connector has a lightning symbol superimposed over it. Further information on power settings can be obtained by double clicking on the symbol.

WARNING! If the battery is empty, your data

NOTE: If you ignore the warning signal when the battery level is low, your Notebook goes into suspend mode. (Depending on the BIOS/OS setting this will be Save-to-Disk or Save-to-RAM).

will not be retained for long in Standby/Save-toRAM mode.

WARNING! Never remove the battery while the Notebook is switched on or if the Notebook has not yet gone into suspend mode, as this may lead to loss of data.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Your Notebook 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 standby mode and suspend (hibernate) mode.

STANDBY MODE

When in standby mode, the contents of the RAM of your Notebook are preserved while practically all other components of your Notebook are shut down, reducing your power consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the keypad, you can bring your Notebook 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 standby mode, but uses more power than suspend (hibernate) mode.

NNGGLLIISSH

SUSPEND (HIBERNATE) MODE

The hibernate mode is an alternative to a complete shutdown of the Notebook. 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 Notebook powers down. When the Notebook is switched on again, this file is written back to RAM by the BIOS. In a few moments the Notebook is in the exact state as when it was last used. If while working on a document the Notebook is closed (assuming the correct ACPI setting), the Notebook 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 suspend (hibernate) mode, but it takes a little longer for the computer to go into and come out of hibernation compared to standby.

THE HARD DRIVE

The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid data access.

The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive, which means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS displays and what the operating system displays.

The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application programs and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your Notebook, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken.

Whenever the computer is accessing the hard disk, the corresponding LED illuminates (see page 22.)

If you are looking for a file on the hard drive and you know the name, go to Search on the Start menu to find the file. Following is some general information on where you might find some common files.

Usually your hard drive is divided into one partition, as shown below. The partitions of your hard drive may vary from what is shown here.

WARNING! Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may result in loss of data.

HANDLING DISCS

To maintain the life of CD and DVD discs, observe these guidelines.

• Avoid radiation by direct sunlight (UVA/UVB).

• Avoid scratches and damage to the disc surface.

• Avoid extreme temperatures.

• Do not attach labels or paper to DVD discs.

• Do not use record-cleaning or anti-static agents to clean

your discs.

We also recommend that you avoid specially shaped discs such as hearts or polygons, or discs that are not standard size. Do not use warped or cracked discs as they may cause damage to your drive.

AAIINN CCOOMMPPOONNEENNTTS

Â Tip: Do not place protective foils or other stick-

ers on your CD’s. To avoid damage to your drive, do not use deformed of damaged CD’s. Attention: Do not use scratched or dirty disks, discs with pieces broken off or disks of poor quality. Because of the high speeds in the drive the disks might break and damage your data as well as your drive. Examine the disks before you enter them. If damage or dirt is visible, you should not use them. Damage caused by faulty media is excluded from warranty and their repair must be charged.

Â ATTENTION! If the disc is not positioned cor-

rectly on the holder, it might be damaged when the tray is closed.

LOADING A DISC

1. Press the eject button on the front of the drive to open the tray.

2. Place the disc on the tray so that it lays flat with the label facing upward.

3. Gently push the tray in to close it.

Many discs automatically start when they are loaded and launch a playback software program. In some cases you might need to start a program (for example, a DVD player program).

REMOVING A DISC

Press the eject button on the front of the drive to open the tray.

WARNING! While the Notebook is accessing the CD-ROM drive the media activity indicator is lit. Do not try to remove the CD from the drive while this LED is lit.

PLAYING MUSIC CDS

Windows Media Player and MusicMatch Jukebox can be used to play music CDs. Please refer to the documentation for these programs to decide which program you would like to use.

PLAYING DVD MOVIES

To play DVD movies on your Notebook, you need a DVD playback software program, such as CyberLink’s awardwinning PowerDVD. To play DVD movies using this software, insert a movie DVD into the DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive, then click Start, then All Programs and select PowerDVD.

In spite of the high storage capability of the DVD, the data must be extremely compressed in order for a complete feature film to be stored. This extreme compression combined with exceptional picture quality is provided by the MPEG2 image coding method on the DVD. This places high demands on the Notebook’s processor, so when playing a DVD please close all other applications. To increase Notebook performance, you may also wish to purchase a plug-in MPEG2 decoder card, which has its own decompression processor and will thus free the Notebook’s processor.

NOTE: The decoding software included with your Notebook may be changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered.

AAIINN CCOOMMPPOONNEENNTTS

WRITING CDS

If included with your Notebook, you can use your CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW drive to write ("burn") data and music CDs.

A data CD is a compact disc (CD) used to store PC data (for example, files and folders you have on your hard disk).

A music, or audio, CD is a compact disc (CD) used to record music that you can play on your home or car stereo CD player. Using a CD-R instead of a CD-RW for music CDs will help ensure a greater level of compatibility with conventional CD-players.

There are several different options for burning CDs. The first step for using any of these options is to insert a blank recordable CD into your CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW drive.

Nero Burning ROM can create different types of audio, video, and data CDs quickly and easily. Click Start, then All Pro- grams, then Ahead Nero to access Nero Burning ROM. Follow the step-by-step instructions given by the software wizard to create a CD.

Windows XP includes functionality for quickly and easily creating data CDs:

1. Select the files or folders you would like to write to your CD. To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want.

2. In the File and Folder Tasks menu on the left (Picture Tasks if the files are located in My Pictures), click Copy

this file, Copy this folder, or Copy the selected items. If you do not see the File and Folder Tasks menu,

select Tools on the main menu, then Folder Options. Under Tasks on the General tab, select Show common tasks in folders.

3. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD-RW, and then click Copy.

NNGGLLIISSH

4. Double-click My Computer, then the CD-RW. Windows displays a temporary area where the files are held before they are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders that you intend to copy to the CD appear under Files Ready to be Written to the CD.

5. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write these files to CD. Windows displays the CD Writing Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

Music jukebox and media player programs (such as Windows Media Player) often offer alternatives for burning audio CDs. Refer to the help within the program for more information. You can also purchase third-party CD burning software for writing files to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

More information about copying CDs reliably can be found in the “Technical Reference” section of this manual under “CD Facts.”

WARNING! Unless you own the copyright or

the permission of the owner of the copyright, unapproved copying of copyrighted CDs or DVDs violates national and/or international laws and can result in serious punishment.

WRITING DVDS

A DVD-RW drive can not record to a DVD+RW disc, and vice versa. The media (discs) that you can use with your PC

depend on the drive that it uses. Please double-check the inside front cover of this manual to determine the type and speed of drive that comes with your PC.

A DVD-RW drive can record to DVD-RW discs. It can also record to DVD-R General discs, but not to DVD-R Authoring discs.

A DVD+RW drive can record to DVD+R or DVD+RW discs.

Both DVD-RW and DVD+RW drives can record to CD-R or CD-RW.

Not all DVD formats are compatible with all DVD players.

Do not use media that exceeds the speed of your drive. For example, do not use 4x DVD-R discs in a 2x DVD-RW drive. Please note that the speed at which your drive records depends on both the speed of the drive and the speed of the media. For example, a 4x DVD-R drive will record at 2x speed if a 2x DVD-R is used in the drive.

If included with your PC, you can use your DVD-RW drive to write to DVDs. Nero Burning ROM allows you to burn data to DVDs. The process is very similar to burning CDs.

Video editing and/or DVD authoring programs often include options for burning your movies to DVD. Please refer to the documentation for your software programs for more information.

THE NETWORK

WHAT IS A NETWORK?

A network means connecting your Notebook 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 or one ISDN card among computers for Internet access.

• Two or more computers can be connected to play network games or share data.

FAST ETHERNET-NETWORK

Your PC has a Fast Ethernet Network connection. You can use this to connect to a network.

The Windows XP Help and Support Center offers extensive information about networking your PC. You can access this information by clicking on Start, then Help

AAIINN CCOOMMPPOONNEENNTTS

WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR NETWORKING?

Some requirements have to be fulfilled to successfully network computers:

1. The Notebook must have a network card that supports the same network technology as the other computers on the network. Unless otherwise quoted, your Notebook will support the current Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit) standard.

2. The network cards must be connected. You need a Shielded Twisted Pair-cable (CAT5) that has an RJ-45- connector.

- If you want to directly connect two PCs you need a

Cross-Link cable.

- If more PCs must be connected you need a supple-

mentary distributor (Hub or Switch) and a Patch cable.

3. All connected PCs need a network operating system. Windows

can act as a network operating system.

4. All networked PCs must speak the same “language” to understand one another. They use protocols for this purpose. The setting of protocols, therefore, must be the same for all networked PCs.

NNGGLLIISSH

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) 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 configu-

ration.

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.

For further hints on troubleshooting search for “network errors” in Windows Help and Support.

WIRELESS LAN

Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless network link with a partner.

CONDITIONS

The partner used can be a wireless access point. An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your notebook 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 enterprise services and networks or to the Internet. Access authoriza- tions 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 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 link works according to standard IEEE

802.11b. Other standards (802.11a, 802.11g etc.) are 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. 11 Mbps) can vary according to distance and other factors.

THE PC CARD SLOTS

The PC card slots on the left side (see page 22) of the Notebook can be used to operate credit card-sized PC cards. Most PC cards are communications or interface devices such as ISDN-, Faxmodem-, Network- or SCSI-adapters.

Some PC cards contain memory chips or hard disks for data storage. If you use such cards with your Notebook, the system assigns the card a drive name, so that you may access the resources. The PC card drive in your Notebook supports PCMCIA 2.1 - (Type II), and CardBus (Type I) cards. Cards of Type I are 3.3 mm, and Type II 5 mm thick.

32-BIT CARDBUS PORT

CardBus cards have a 32-bit architecture with which high data transfer speeds of up to 132 MB can be achieved, similar to PCI. In this way your Notebook can also support data intensive devices such as 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, Fast SCSI peripherals and video conferencing devices.

The CardBus port is backward compatible with 16-bit PC cards with a 5V power supply, though the CardBus only requires a power-saving 3.3V.

USE OF PC-CARDS

In order to run a PC card, special software is needed (drivers, etc.). The card manufacturer usually supplies this software. Support for the card port is a component of Windows and at present represents the optimum in operational smoothness. You should consider this point when choosing between alternative operating systems.

CONNECTION OPTIONS

The Notebook has a number of input and output interfaces for connection of peripheral devices such as a printer, scanner, keyboard, and so on. This section presents the individual ports. For further information, refer to page 24, where the positions of the respective ports are described.

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) PORT

USB ports provide an easy way to connect many peripheral devices to your PC. You can use any USB device with any USB port. USB ports are located on both the front and back panels of the PC for your convenience. 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 hub (distributor / booster). The data transfer speed is 1.5 Mbit or 12 Mbit, depending on the device connected.

PARALLEL INTERFACE

You can connect a printer or a device such as a scanner or ZIP drive to this 25-pin parallel interface. The parallel interface supports Standard/EPP/ECP. You can set the desired mode in the computer’s BIOS, though this parameter will already be correctly preset.

IEEE 1394 (FIREWIRE®)

IEEE 1394 (also known as iLink® or FireWire®) ports provide an easy and high-performance way of connecting high-speed storage, imaging, and many new types of audio/video devices easily. FireWire devices (not included) are either 6-pin or 4-pin. Identify which of the connections your device requires and use the corresponding FireWire port on your Notebook.

NNGGLLIISSH

INFRARED INTERFACE

The infrared port is located on the left side of the Notebook. The IR port corresponds to the "IrDA Serial Infrared Data Link Version 1.1" standard. It is used for wireless point-to-point communication.

You can use SIR/FIR applications in order to exchange files with other devices which are IR-aware. If the mode setting does not match that of the communicating device, you must set the necessary mode in the BIOS. FIR (Fast Infrared) supports up to 4 Mbps and SIR (Serial Infrared) up to 115.2Kbps.

At present, the interface can be used to link up with other computers, peripherals and a number of PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants). The Notebook identifies the infrared port as a serial port.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE IR PORT

When using IR be sure to follow these instructions:

• Make sure that the desired IR mode has been set in the BIOS set-up.

• The angle between the two IR ports should not be greater than ±15°.

• Align the devices in such a way that the two infrared interfaces are at the same height and exactly opposite each other.

• Distance between devices should not be more than 1 meter.

• Do not move either of the devices during IR data transfer.

• In environments with a lot of noise or vibration, data trans-

fer may be defective.

• Keep a safe distance from direct sunlight, lightning, incandescent and fluorescent light and other infrared devices such as remote controllers.

IMPORTANT: If you do not require the infrared for long periods, please deactivate the infrared function in the control panel in order to save on Windows resources.

3. Under File Signature Verification, select one of the following:

NNGGLLIISSH

Ignore allows all device drivers and software to be installed on this PC regardless of whether they have a digital signature.

Warn displays a warning message when you attempt to install a software program or device driver without a digital signature.

Block prevents installation programs from installing device drivers without a digital signature.

If you are logged on to your PC as an administrator, you can click Apply setting as system default to apply the selected setting as the default for all users of your PC.

WARNING! During software installation important files can be changed or deleted. To avoid problems in using older files after installation, make sure to safeguard your hard disk.

WINDOWS ACTIVATION

Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the reduction of software piracy. Windows XP contains software-based product activation technology. Your copy of Windows XP has already been activated for your Notebook. However, product activation is needed if some components of your Notebook have been replaced or you use non-authorized BIOS. If necessary, you can activate Windows XP as often as needed.

You will probably need to activate Windows XP by telephone even if Internet Activation is available. This is due to the preactivated SLP version that runs with a special Product-ID. However, activation needs your unique Product ID that can be found on the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your Notebook housing. When you call, please inform the agent that you are running an OEM (SLP) version of the software.

DATA AND SYSTEM SECURITY

The programs described below are part of your Windows operating system. You will find additional information on these programs in the Windows Help file.

DATA SECURITY

Back up data regularly on external media such as a CD-R or CD-RW. Windows offers both a Backup program and a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

Both programs are found in Accessories/System Tools within the Start menu. You should make a backup disk with all your passwords and the operating system’s original configuration.

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

You can avoid some hardware and software errors with disk maintenance programs such as Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup. The program System Information can also be helpful since it gives you detailed information about your system configuration. You will find these programs in Acces-

sories/System Tools.

WINDOWS

To keep your notebook up to date to the latest version, we recommend to regularly run Windows Update from the Internet. To select this option go to Start Ö Programs Ö Windows Update.

Â The update can only be executed via the Inter-

FAQ – Questions frequently asked

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.

... your installed a new motherboard.

... a different BIOS version has been installed.

... you install the software to another computer.

What is the Windows activation?

Your operating instructions include a chapter about this subject.

How do I perform a data backup?

Use the program Backup for this.

It is important that you follow the operating instructions of these programs.

Make a backup and another backup of selected data to an external medium (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVDRW, SD card, etc.), to familiarize yourself with the technique.

A backup is unsuitable if you are not able to recover the data, the medium (floppy disk, CD-R, etc.) is defective or no longer available.

NNGGLLIISSH

Do I still have to install the enclosed CDs/DVDs?

No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The disks are only intended as backup copies.

When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?

This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter “System recovery” on page 69 concerning the alternatives possible.

Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/ application CD?

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 CD.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOCALIZE THE CAUSE

Errors can have simple causes, but sometimes they are caused by faulty equipment. We would like to give you some tips to help solve common problems. Should these instructions not lead to success, please feel free to call us.

CHECK CABLES AND CONNECTIONS

Visibly check all cables and connections. Should all lights be off, check whether all equipment is supplied with power.

¾ In battery mode, connect the Notebook to the power

adapter and ensure that the battery is charged up.

¾ If you are operating the Notebook with the power

adapter, check the electrical socket, power cord and all switches in the circuit of the electrical socket.

¾ Switch off the Notebook and check all cable connections.

Check the connections to peripherals. Do not exchange cables, even though they may look similar. The polarity in the cables may be different. When it is confirmed that the Notebook has power and all connections are correct, turn the Notebook on again.

THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST)

The Power On Self Test (POST) is executed during each boot process to test the memory, motherboard, display, keyboard and other components. If the Notebook does not pass the POST but beeps several times, or if the screen remains blank, call your Notebook support technician.

NNGGLLIISSH

ERRORS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

The display is blank:

- Confirm that the system is not in stand-by mode. Press any key on the keyboard to test this.

Wrong Date and Time:

- Double-click the clock on the taskbar and correct the date and time.

An error message appears during boot-up:

- You may have a floppy disk in the disk drive so the system is looking for an operating system on that floppy. Remove the disk and press any key.

No data can be accessed from the optical Drive:

- Check whether the CD is inserted correctly.

- Is the CD-ROM displayed in Windows Explorer? If so, test

another CD.

The Printer does not work:

- Check the printer cable.

- Do a Printer Self Test.

- Should several pieces of equipment be operating from the

same port, check all peripherals and reinstall the drivers.

- If you have access to the Internet, download and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s Web site.

The mouse does not work.

- Check the cable connection.

- Check to see if the mouse works in another application

program and if there is a problem of compatibility between the mouse (e.g. Microsoft Intellimouse) and the touch pad.
