Battery Safety Tips

Replacing or handling the battery incorrectly may present a risk of fire or explosion, which could

cause serious injury.

 Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of battery.

 Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to temperatures above

+60° C (+140° F).

 Do not temper with batteries. Keep away from the reach of children.

 Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.

 Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your local solid waste

officials for details about recycling options or for proper disposal in your area.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not

managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.

To optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss, read the tips below:

 Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the suspend timer’s

time period.

 Turn off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.

 Disable unnecessary settings or remove idle peripherals.

 Connect an AC/DC adapter to the system whenever possible.

3-8

Getting Started

Charging the Battery Pack

The battery pack can be recharged while it is installed in the notebook. Please pay attention to the

following tips before recharging the battery:

 If a charged battery pack is not available, save your work and close all running programs and

shut down the system or Save-to-Disk.

 Plug in an external AC/DC adapter.

 You can use the system, suspend system operation or shut down and turn off the system

without interrupting the charging process.

 The battery pack uses Lithium-ion battery cells that have no “memory effect.” It is

unnecessary to discharge the battery before recharging. However, to optimize the life of

battery, we suggest that consuming the battery power completely once a month is necessary.

 If you do not use the notebook for a long time, it is suggested to remove the battery pack from

your notebook. This may be helpful to extend your battery life.

 The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.

purchased

Getting Started

Knowing the Touchpad

The touchpad integrated in your notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with standard

mouse, allowing you to control the notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and

making selection with its two buttons.

1. Cursor Movement Area

This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad,

allows you to place your finger on and control

the cursor on the screen by moving one of

your finger.

2. Right / Left Buttons

Acts as the mouse’s right/ left button.

3-24

Getting Started

Using the Touchpad

Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:

 Configuring the Touchpad

You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For example, if you are a

left-handed user, you may want to swap the functions of the two buttons. In addition, you can

change the size, shape, moving speed and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen.

To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver in your

Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in Control Panel allows you to change
the configuration.

 Positioning and Moving

Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act

as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the

cursor on the screen will move simultaneously to the same direction. When your finger

reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and place it on a proper location of the touchpad to

continue the movement.

 Point and Click

When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or a command that you

want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This

procedure, called as point and click is the basics of operating your notebook. Unlike the

traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so

3-25

Getting Started

that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice

more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.

 Drag and Drop

You can move files or objects in your notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the

cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in

contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the

desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the

touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold the left button when

you select an item, and then move your finger to the desired location; finally, release the left

button to finish the drag-and-drop operation.

1. Move the cursor by sliding your

fingertip.

2. Put your wrist on the desk

comfortably.
