2 Write down Product Key
CAUTION
The Product Key is necessary during the setup procedure for Windows after reinstalling ( "OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (page 11)"). Write down the (alpha)numeric
Product Key shown on the “Certificate of Authenticity” located on the bottom of the
computer, in the “Customer’s Record” section on page two of the "OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS".
Replace the "NOTE" for the following. "OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (page 10)"
NOTE
The power saving mode ([Power Schemes] in [Control Panel] - [Power Management]) is factory set, so
if there is no input from the keyboard, touch pad, touchscreen or external mouse (when one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the power to the LCD and hard disk is shut down. In addition,
when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the suspend* mode ( "Suspend/
Hibernation Functions").
The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad or the touchscreen is used, or a key or an
external mouse is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off while Windows is setting up or even when an application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog box
will be shown, do not press the Enter and Space key to attempt to resume from this
condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key unrelated to the direct
triggering of a selection, like the key.
*With Windows 98, "Suspend" is called "Standby".
