Basic Care and Handling Tips

Protect the computer from extremely low or high temperatures. Let the computer warm (or cool) to room temperature before using it.

Keep the computer away from magnetised areas (some airline tray tables are magnetic; do not set your computer on top of them). Doing so may damage the data on your hard drive.

Keep the computer dry. Do not wipe the computer with a wet cloth or pour fluid onto it.

Protect the computer from strong physical contact, such as being bumped or dropped.

Check the computer for condensation. If condensation is present, allow it to evaporate before switching on the computer.

Keep the computer away from dust, sand and dirt.

CAUTION

Immediately turn off and unplug the computer under the following conditions:

• The power cord has been damaged or frayed.

• Liquid has spilled on or into the computer.

• The computer has been dropped or its casing has been damaged.

- 4 -

Storage Requirements

Store the computer and AC adaptor in an environment that meets the following conditions:

Should the temperature of the computer suddenly rise or fall (for example, when you move the computer from a cold place to a warm place), vapour may condense inside the computer. Turning on the computer under such conditions can damage the internal computer components.

Before turning on the computer, wait until the computer's internal temperature stabilises with the new environment and any internal moisture has evaporated.

• Operate and store your computer within the recommended temperatures and humidity levels (refer to the section on “Product Storage Environment Guidelines” for more information).

• Keep the storage area free from vibration and magnetic fields.

• Keep the computer and its components away from organic solvents or corrosive gases.

Connector

The Optical Drive

If your computer is equipped with a CD or a CD-writer drive, then you will only be able to play CD-type discs. Some discs vibrate when playing. This does not affect the optical disc drive.

Precautions

To avoid malfunctions or damage to your optical drive, please observe the following tips:

• Insert the disc into the drive before you start a program.

• Do not eject the disc without first closing the program that is using the disc. This could

potentially cause your computer to stop responding.

• Periodically clean the disc to remove any dust or fingerprints. Use a soft, scratch-free cloth

or a commercial disc cleaner. (For a commercial disc cleaner, make sure you check with the sales representative before you purchase it to confirm its suitability for your disc)

• To keep the disc free of fingerprints, hold the disc with your fingers on the outer edge or

with a finger in the inner circle and a finger on the outer edge.

• Always return the disc to its protective case or sleeve when you have finished using it.

• This optical drive only supports the standard 5 ¼ inch (12-cm diameter) optical disc. Using

non-standard sized media will cause it to get stuck and may damage the drive. Therefore, inserting a non-standard disc may affect the validity of your optical drive’s warranty.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPTICAL DISCS

Disc Care

When handling optical discs, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Hold optical discs by the outer edge and the inner hub to avoid damaging the surface.

Avoid direct contact with the disc's surface.

• Avoid scratching or soiling both sides of the disc.

• Do not write on or apply labels to either side of the disc. Never write with a ballpoint on the

surface of the disc.

• Do not use stickers, labels or write on both sides of a disc. Unless you use specific label

kits, never use a tape or sticky material to label optical discs. Since the data layer of a disc is right beneath the printed label, writing with a pen can scratch the thin reflective aluminium coating. Use soft-tip pens especially for re-writable discs that are even more sensitive.

• Do not scratch or polish the label side. The pits and lands (microscopic holes and flat

areas) that encode the information in the CD are on the label side, and not on the surface read by the lens. Large scratches on the underside, however, can often be repaired using special polishing kits. Most of the time, the laser, which focuses on a layer within the clear base, is able to see past small scratches, in much the same way the human eye can focus on objects outside when looking through a window.

• Keep the disc away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.

• Keep optical discs away from high temperatures. Don't subject discs at temperature levels

exceeding 37°C. Exposure to direct sunlight over long periods easily warps a disc. Low temperatures are not a hazard, but wait for a stable temperature before loading a disk. Discs burned using CD-writer drives are more sensitive and should be stored at room temperature whenever possible.

• Moisture does not affect other types of discs, but avoid exposing re-writable discs to

liquids. In case of accidental spills on discs, rinse it off with lukewarm water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Be careful with sticky or oily substances that trap dirt and dust.

• Proper cleaning is important to achieve optimal performance. Using a soft, slightly damp

cloth, wipe the disc from inside the disc and rub outwards. Do not wipe in circles but clean in the same outward direction. Wiping the label side in circles can scratch a section of the data track. Slightly dipping the cloth in warm water is enough. Using cleaners and solvents can do damage.

• Since discs are coated with thin layers of aluminium and plastic, avoid using benzene, paint

thinner, record cleaner, static repellent, or any other chemical to clean the disc. Chemicals and cleaners can damage the disc.

Optical Disc Drive Care

To get the most from your optical disc drive, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Never forcibly pry open a drive whenever a disc gets stuck. If this happens use the eject

button. If that fails, ask for professional help.

• Avoid excessive dirt and dust build-up on optical discs. Optical discs can tolerate

accumulated dirt and dust much better than floppy disks since CDs are not read by direct contact with the read lens. Excessive dirt, however, will eventually affect the drive's performance. Thoroughly clean the discs whenever necessary.

The Hard Disk Drive

Commonly referred to as the “hard disk” or “hard drive”, the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a magnetic and non-volatile storage device, and is the primary storage device on your computer. It stores important files needed to boot your system, as well as program files that allow you to run software and application.

Introducing BIOS Setup for Windows Vista®

BIOS Setup allows you to view and set system parameters. BIOS Setup also allows you to

set password features that protect your system from unauthorised use.

Use BIOS Setup to:

• set the current time and date;

• customise your operating system to reflect your computer hardware;

• secure your system with a password; and

• balance your performance needs with power conservation.

Entering BIOS Setup

The BIOS Setup can be accessed during the startup or booting of your system. Just press <F2> when the following prompt appears.

“Press <F2> to run CMOS Setup or <F12> to Boot on Network”

When you press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup, the system interrupts the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and displays the current complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM settings.

If the system detects an error during POST, it prompts you with a double beep and the message: "Press <F1> to resume." If you press <F2>, the system enters BIOS Setup automatically. If you want to fix the error, carefully read the error message that appears above the prompt (taking notes if you want), and press <F2>. You will see this message if your system’s CMOS battery (which provides power to maintain system configuration settings) has become fully discharged.

BIOS Setup Menus

The BIOS Setup features five menus, which are listed on the menu bar at the top of the screen.

• Main - use this menu for basic system configuration.

• Advanced - use this menu to control system ports and components.

• Security - use this menu to establish system passwords and protect the boot sector of the

hard disk drive against infection by certain virus types.

• Boot - use this menu to set the boot sequence.

• Exit - use this menu to exit BIOS Setup with various save or discard options.

Use the keys listed in the legend bar on the bottom of the Setup menu to make the selections or exit the current menu.

The exact menu may be different from the system you purchase depending on the mainboard type.

- 70 -

Updating the BIOS

Please note that these settings are rarely changed by the common user as factory settings are usually updated, and should only be accessed or changed by an experienced user.

The BIOS is the code transmitted onto your system's Flash ROM. As indicated in this chapter, you use the BIOS Setup utility to configure your system's software and hardware features. Only update your system’s BIOS using the update files specific to your computer’s model.

CAUTION

You only need to update the BIOS if significant improvements or fixes have been made to the current system BIOS. Your authorised dealer or Support Services representative can help you determine this.

Arrange Your Equipment

You will find below explanations on how to set up your computer to fit your physical needs. This information is based on ergonomics - the science of making the workplace fit the needs of the worker.

WARNING

Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner described below. Please note that some people are more susceptible to developing these disorders due to pre-existing conditions or psychosocial factors (see section on “Pre-existing Conditions and Psychosocial Factors”), and that precautions can be taken in order to prevent physical discomfort (see section on “Reducing the Risk of Injuries”).

Note

To increase your comfort and safety when using your computer as your primary computer system at your home or office, note the following recommendations:

• use a separate, external keyboard attached to your computer.

Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation set-up to the proper height (as described below) by lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising the seat height of your chair. Position your computer directly in front of you for increased safety and comfort.

Your Chair

Your chair should be adjustable and stable. Vary your posture throughout the day.

Check the following:

• Keep your body in a relaxed yet upright position. The

backrest of Use the entire seat and backrest to support your body. Tilt the backrest slightly (90° to 105°). The angle formed by your thighs and back should be 90° or more.

• Your seat depth should allow your lower back to comfortably

contact the backrest. Make sure that the backs of your lower legs do not press against the front of the chair.

• Extend your lower legs slightly so that the angle between

your thighs and lower legs is 90° or more.

• Place your feet flat on the floor. Only use a footrest when

attempts to adjust your chair and workstation fail to keep your feet flat.

• Be sure that you have adequate clearance between the top of your thighs and the

underside of your workstation.

• Use armrests or forearm supports to support your forearms. If adjustable, the armrests

or forearm supports should initially be lowered while all the other adjustments discussed in this section are made. Once all these adjustments are completed, raise the armrests or adjust the forearm supports until they touch the forearms and allow the shoulder muscles to relax.

- 86 -

Your Desk

There is no specific height recommended for your desk. This can vary between 60 and 70 cm, depending upon your size. The standard workaround is that it should be at approximately your elbow height.

The computer should be clean and organised in such a way that frequently used objects are close enough without excessive reaching. If you use a document holder, it should be placed at approximately the same height as the screen and at the same distance from the eyes to prevent frequent eye shifts.

The area underneath the desk should be clean to accommodate your legs and allow for stretching.

Your Input Devices

Note the following points when positioning your computer or any external input devices.

• Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid reaching when using your keyboard or mouse.

• If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely.

• Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near your body and your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in the manner described previously. If you do not have armrests or forearm supports, your upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides.

• Adjust the keyboard slope so that your wrists are straight while you are typing.

• Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard. Use a wrist pad only to rest

your wrists between typing. Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.

• Type with your wrists straight. Instead of twisting your wrists sideways to press hard-toreach keys, move your whole arm. Keep from bending your wrists, hands, or fingers sideways.

• Press the keys gently; do not bang them. Keep your shoulders, arms, hands and fingers relaxed.

Your Screen

Correct placement and adjustment of the screen can reduce eye, shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when you position the screen.

• Adjust the height of your screen so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

• Position your screen no closer than 30 cm and no further away than 75 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is between 35 cm and 45 cm.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 metres away. Blink often.

• Position the screen at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimise glare and

reflections.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to view your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean your screen regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-alcohol, neutral,

non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimise dust.

• Adjust the screen brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

- 87 -

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimise turning your head while you are typing.

• Get regular eye check-ups.

Reducing The Risk of Injuries

Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner described in the section on “Arrange Your Equipment”. Please note that some people are more susceptible to developing these disorders due to pre-existing conditions or psychosocial factors (see the section on “Pre-existing Conditions and Psychosocial Factors”).

The precautions described below can however be taken in order to prevent physical discomfort.

Vary Your Workday

If you use your computer for prolonged periods, follow these instructions.

• Vary your tasks throughout the day.

• Take frequent short breaks that involve walking, standing, and stretching. During these

breaks, stretch muscles and joints that were in one position for an extended period of time (refer to the section on “Stretching Exercises”). Relax muscles and joints that were active.

• Use a timer or reminder software to remind you to take breaks.

• To enhance blood circulation, alter your sitting posture periodically and keep your hands

and wrists warm.

Practise Some Stretching Exercises

The daily exercises described below can be very effective in stopping Repetitive Strain Injury development or in minimising its effects. They can easily be carried out behind your computer.

• Bend wrists, stretch and close fingers - stretch your arms and wrists with closed fingers; keep this pose for 8 seconds. Repeat the exercise 3 times. You can repeat the same exercise with your finger stretched.

• Lift shoulders - lift your shoulders straight up, hold that pose for 8 seconds and repeat the exercise 3 times.

• Rotate shoulders - rotate both your shoulders clockwise and counter-clockwise for 8 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3 times.

• Stretch neck and shoulders - bend your head to the left, right, front and back. Keep each position for 8 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3 times.

• Stretch the flexors - fold your hands into a praying position; palms flat against each other in front of your chest. Pull your hands gently downwards along your chest towards the stomach, keeping the elbows in the same position. Repeat the exercise 3 times and keep the pose for 8 seconds.

• Stretch the extensors - stretch your arm straight forward. Rotate your wrist 90 degrees up towards you and keep your thumb down, so that your other fingers are all pointing upwards (your hand should look like it is held out, telling someone to stop). Grab your four fingers pointing upwards with your other hand, and gently pull them towards you, while keeping your arm straightened. Hold this pose for 8 seconds and repeat this exercise 3 times.

Potential Medical Conditions

Computers are used everywhere. More and more people sit in front of computers for longer periods of time. Some nerve, tendon and muscle disorders (musculoskeletal disorders) may be associated with repetitive activities, improper work environments, and incorrect working habits. Examples of musculoskeletal disorders that may be associated with certain forms of repetitive activities include: carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, de Quervain's tenosynovitis and trigger finger, as well as other nerve, tendon and muscle disorders.

WARNING

Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner described in the section on “Arrange your Equipment”. Please note that precautions can be taken in order to prevent physical discomfort (see section on “Reducing the Risk of Injuries”).

Although some studies have shown an association between increasing hours of keyboard use and the development of some musculoskeletal disorders, it is still unclear whether working at a computer causes such disorders. Some doctors believe that using the keyboard and mouse may aggravate existing musculoskeletal disorders.

Note

Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back and/or legs.

Repetitive Strain Injury

Repetitive Strain Injury is caused by a constant tension of the muscles in your arms and by making the same repetitive movements with fingers, wrist and elbow when controlling the mouse. The symptoms of RSI are pain and stiffness in neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands. Other symptoms are cramps, tingling and exhaustion in these areas.

The Three Stages of Repetitive Strain Injury

Real RSI-pain implies that the problems have persisted for a longer period of time, normally for a minimum of three months. The development can be divided into three stages:

• Stiffness, numbness, irritation, sometimes in combination with light or sharp pains. These problems disappear, but return when similar work is done.

• The problems do not disappear overnight. Continuous light pain, also after a period of rest. After a longer period of rest (holidays) the pain does go away, but returns easily when similar work is done.

• Continuous pain often combined with reduced strength and less accurate control. At work, the pain intensifies. When rested, the pain remains.

Pre-Existing Conditions and Psychosocial Factors

Pre-existing conditions that may cause or make some people more susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders include the following: hereditary factors, vascular disorders, obesity, nutritional deficiencies such as Vitamin B deficiency, endocrine disorders such as diabetes, hormonal imbalances, connective tissue disorders such as arthritis, prior trauma to the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, or legs, prior musculoskeletal disorders, aging, fluid retention due to pregnancy, poor physical conditioning, dietary habits and other conditions.

Psychosocial factors associated with these disorders include: workplace stress, poor job satisfaction, lack of support by management and/or lack of control over one's work.

- 89 -

Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramp, stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, and/or legs.

Epilepsy Warning

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in daily life. Such people may have a seizure while watching television images or playing certain games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.

If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing games with such features. We advise that parents monitor the use of games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms such as : dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion while playing a game, IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Safety Guidelines for Battery Usage

Button Batteries

(If applicable)

These are built-in on the motherboard.

Alkaline Manganese Batteries

(If applicable)

These are used in optional devices such as the wireless keyboard and wireless

mouse.

----Æ = Discharging Circuit

Storing batteries together can cause short circuits or discharging circuits when terminals come into mutual contact. It will generate heat, leading to possible combustion, explosion and personal injury and/or damage to property.

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your property and your environment from potential damage.

General Guidelines

• Batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power.

• Improper handling and installing of batteries or inconsistent use may lead to battery

leakage, heating or even explosion, leading to battery failure, fires and even risk of injury or damage to property.

• It may pose several threats to personnel and property. Some hazards associate with

batteries include but not are limited to :

- Caustic and/or acid burns;

- Hydrogen gas accumulation and explosion;

- Electric shock;

- Potential high currents and explosions.

• Precautions must be noted and followed to prevent accidents. Make sure that you are using

the battery in an appropriate application as specified by the manufacturer.

Battery Use

• There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

• Any enclosure that houses batteries MUST be adequately ventilated. The amount of

ventilation required depends on the size and voltage of the batteries, temperature and the amount of current used to charge them. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for handling and venting.

• Battery placement in any enclosure should ensure that there is minimal chance of

accidental shorting during routine maintenance and use. It is recommended that insulated tools be used to reduce the risk of any short circuit or short to ground.

- 98 -

Do not install any spark-producing components in the same enclosures or in close

•

proximity to the batteries.

General Precautions

• Always insert batteries correctly, observing positive (+) and negative (-) polarity, marked

on the battery and the equipment.

• Do not short-circuit batteries. When the positive and negative terminals of a battery are in

direct contact with each other, the battery becomes short-circuited.

• Do not replace batteries with batteries which are not the same or equivalent to the type

recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Do not heat batteries or expose them to heat. Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your batteries.

• Avoid storing the batteries under high temperature, high humidity, direct sunlight or in

contact with water.

• Do not modify or tamper with batteries.

• Do not directly solder batteries.

• Do not disassemble batteries.

• Do not drop, crush, puncture or damage batteries in any way.

• Do not pile up or jumble up the batteries.

• In certain devices, battery terminals may come into contact with metallic parts of the

devices at the battery mounting point. Careful attention is necessary to avoid short-circuit when a battery is mounted into the device.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to replace batteries

without adult supervision.

• Do not mix batteries. When replacing batteries, replace all of them at the same time with

new batteries of the same brand and type.

• Remove exhausted batteries immediately from its equipment and dispose of them properly.

• Store unused batteries in their original sealed packaging until ready to use and keep them

away from metal objects or any combustible or explosive objects which may cause shortcircuit or any explosion.

• In case of eye contact with the battery electrolyte, immediately flush eyes thoroughly with

water, and consult a doctor. In case of electrolyte contact in mouth, immediately gargle with water. Quickly seek medical advice and/or intervention in case of battery or electrolyte ingestion. There needs to be eyewash and possibly a shower nearby in case of

accidental contact.

Additional Precautions for Alkaline Manganese Batteries (If applicable)

These are used in optional devices such as the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse.

• Take care not to touch the chemicals and electrolyte in batteries directly. If contact is

necessary, wear proper protection such as gloves, masks and goggles to protect your skin, face and eyes. Since caustic alkaline solution is used in this battery system, there are potential risks of damage to cloth, property and personal injury due to adhesion of the solution. It may also cause loss of eyesight if the solution gets into the eyes.

• Avoid rough handling of battery cartons. Do not throw the cartons around, push or pull

them roughly, or subject them to excessive stress and pressure. Transport the cartons gently and use sufficient padding where necessary.

• Do not pile up battery cartons in several layers or should not exceed a specified height.

Generally, this height should not exceed 1.5 m for cardboard packs.

- 99 -
