2.2 Preparing The NETBOOK PRO For Use

2.2.1 Power Management

The NETBOOK PRO is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack. The NETBOOK PRO will warn you when the main battery charge is low.

Note: How long your batteries last will depend upon how you use your NETBOOK PRO. The NETBOOK PRO will use considerably more battery power when you have the brightness turned up, are using files stored on a memory card, or are using infrared or a communications card.

You can take steps to help prolong your battery’s life:

•Turn the screen brightness down.

•Set automatic switch-off in the Power control panel.

•Use files on the internal storage instead of a memory card, as the NETBOOK PRO requires more power to write to the memory card.

The NETBOOK PRO can be powered from AC when connected to the AC adapter. When the NETBOOK PRO is powered from AC, it will also charge the battery pack.

Fitting The Battery

Before you can use the NETBOOK PRO you must fit the battery. Slide it into place until it clicks, as shown on page 10.

Psion Teklogix NETBOOK PRO Win CE Quick Start Guide 9

12 Psion Teklogix NETBOOK PRO Win CE Quick Start Guide

cally switch on when ActiveSync on the PC is searching for a connection.

To switch off:

press and hold the Fn key, then press the Esc/On key. You can switch off at any time. You do not have to save your information first, as it is automatically saved for you.

Note: If you do not use the NETBOOK PRO, it will automatically switch off after a few minutes to save battery power. To continue using the NETBOOK PRO where you left off, switch the NETBOOK PRO on again using the On key. Power saving options are available via the Windows CE Control Panel. The automatic switch-off time may have different settings, depending on whether the NETBOOK PRO is connected to an external electrical supply.

The NETBOOK PRO can be configured to turn on when:

•The On key is pressed (default)

•The case is opened

•The screen is touched

•There is activity on the RS232 or USB port

The NETBOOK PRO can be configured to turn off when:

•The Fn key, then the On key are pressed (default)

•The case is closed

•The user selects Start, Suspend

To reach these settings:

1.Select Start, Control Panel. The Control Panel appears.

2.Double-click on the Power icon.

2.4Finding And Using The Stylus

The stylus is located in a holder at the right. To remove it, push the square button next to the stylus. The stylus pops out. To replace it, push it back in.

		Stylus
Stylus	Release	Button

Tap lightly on the screen using the stylus. You can use your fingers to tap on the screen, though it is best to use the stylus to avoid fingerprints or smudges on the screen. Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove. See “Caring For The NETBOOK PRO” on page 6 for instructions on how to clean the screen.

You can usually tap on (“click on”) an item with the stylus to select or change it. For example, you can:

•Double-tap (or click) a program icon, to open a program.

Psion Teklogix NETBOOK PRO Win CE Quick Start Guide 13

• Press the Alt key, then tap, to right-click.

Note: If the screen doesn’t respond to your taps, you may need to re-calibrate it. You can do this by holding down the On/Off button for 3 seconds.

2.5 How To Reset The NETBOOK PRO

If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, Alt-tap on the taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu. Select the task that appears to be unresponsive and click on the End Task button.

If this does not work, or if your NETBOOK PRO appears to have “locked up”, you can always perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your NETBOOK PRO while preserving most of your information. It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the NETBOOK PRO do not appear to respond, or if the NETBOOK PRO appears to switch on and you are sure that the batteries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.

It is possible, though unlikely, that performing a soft reset after a program failure would cause the NETBOOK PRO to lose the information in its internal storage; it could even prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will have to perform a hard reset.

Important: A hard reset resets the NETBOOK PRO completely, and all information in internal storage will be lost.

To perform a soft reset:

Insert a short wire, such as an unfolded paper clip, into the hole to the right of the right Shift key. Press down to press the NETBOOK PRO’s reset switch.

It is also possible to perform a soft reset by holding down the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys for three seconds.

Reset Switch

Figure 2.11 Location Of Soft Reset Switch

After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost. Your other files on the internal disk will almost always be safe.

To perform a hard reset:

Remove all batteries and AC power.

Note: Hard resetting the NETBOOK PRO will delete the ActiveSync partnership on the NETBOOK PRO. You may delete and re-create the partnership on the PC, or create another partnership with a new name. Refer to ActiveSync’s online help for more detail on this operation.

mands marked with a	or press the right arrow
key to see further commands.

A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will display a “dialogue” where you enter more information (see “Using Dialogues”, on page 16).

If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently available; e.g. you cannot Copy unless you have first selected something to copy.

2.6.6 Using Dialogues

A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further information. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following elements:

Textbox:

where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, you will need to open the on-screen keyboard to enter text.

Dropdown:

where you select from a number of options. You will see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the option you want.

Checkbox:

where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove a checkmark.

Radio buttons:

where you make one choice from a number of options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.

If an item is grey, it is currently not available.

Some dialogues comprise a number of “pages”, each page has a “tab” at the top. Tap on the tab, or move the highlight to the tab name, to go to that page. You can also move a dialogue around the screen by holding the stylus on the dialogue title bar and dragging it across the screen.

Dialogue Buttons

Dialogues usually include standard buttons such as Ok and X. Some buttons have a standard keypress equivalent:

•Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if you want to save information and remove the dialogue.

•Tap the Cancel button, the X button, or press the Esc key if you want to close the dialogue without saving the information.

•For dialogues that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button or press the Y key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the N key, or press the Esc key for ‘no’.

2.6.7 Copying Information Between Programs

You can insert information created in one program into a different program. For example, you may want to compose text in Wordpad before copying it into an e-mail message in the Inbox. If you try to insert an object into a program that is not

designed to handle that type of object, you will be unable to Paste. Trying to copy a file from Windows Explorer into a Wordpad document will not work because Wordpad will keep the Paste option greyed out until it detects that text is ready to be pasted.
