Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be

turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless

Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of

devices that provide wireless communication.

Regulatory Compliance Statements v

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is

harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be

restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas

laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may

be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of

the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for

authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since

your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between

countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities

prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in

the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do

not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and

the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way.

Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please

contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See

the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical

Support for additional information.

The settings you choose are stored in battery-maintained CMOS memory that saves the information even when the computer’s power is turned off. When your computer is turned back on, it is configured with the values found in this memory.

Run System Setup if you get a message prompting you to run the program. You may also want to run System Setup, particularly the first time you use your computer, to set the time and date, use security or power-management features, or alter the settings of other features.

BIOS Caution:

If you are not familiar with BIOS setup and what the parameters mean, seek help from a person who is knowledgeable. Incorrect settings may cause your system to “Crash”.

Your computer’s version of System Setup may not include all the fields listed here or may include additional fields. Field names and order of appearance can vary according to the version of the BIOS (basic input/output system) on your computer.

System Management

Using Power Management Options

Your computer includes Power Management options that can help the battery charge last longer and extend the life of the battery. Power-management options will slow down or shut off system components when the components are not being used.

Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs fastest with the power cord attached, when power management is disabled.

In the next sections, basic and advanced methods of power management will be discussed.

Basic Power Management Schemes

This section discusses the basic schemes of power management when the computer is operating on battery power or using AC power.

Standby vs. Hibernation

Hibernation is a state where the contents of memory are stored in a special file on the hard disk, and Standby simply keeps a small holding current through the memory to keep the data. You are more likely to sustain loss of data in Standby mode so it is recommended to save all open files before entering Standby.

To enter the power management window complete the following:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.

2. Click icon to display the Power Options Properties window.

62 Users Manual

Changing Devices:

Do not change PC Cards while in standby or hibernate modes.

3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.

Power Schemes Tab

4. Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and AC power mode.

• Turn off monitor

• Turn off hard disks

• System standby

• System hibernates

Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial battery power, therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.

a Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again, everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD, and the monitor and hard disk get turned off.

System Management 63

If You Reinstall Windows:

You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power

Options Properties window and click on the Hibernate tab then click “Enable Hibernation”.

Hibernate Tab

Frequent Interruptions:

If you experience frequent interruptions, you might also consider putting your computer into automatic hibernation after a specified number of minutes using the power management options.

a Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

Standby is used mainly for conserving battery power in your notebook computer. It also gives you the benefit of getting right back to your work without waiting for the computer to restart. Standby turns off your monitor and hard disks, placing your entire system in a low-power state. When you return to your computer, restores your desktop exactly as you left it. It is recommended that you do not enter standby mode with less than 20% battery power.

5. Click OK to set your power management options and close the window.

64 Users Manual

Rest Key:

The manual <Fn+Esc> key combination will not activate Standby or Hibernate modes while you are playing a multimedia program or have an active USB device connected.

Advanced Power Management Schemes

This section discusses the advanced power management schemes. There are two buttons that you can use to manually conserve power.

To enter the power management window complete the following:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.

2. Click icon to display the Power Options Properties window.

3. Click the Advanced tab to display the advanced power management options.

Advanced Tab

Power & Sleep Button Programming Windows

4. Select the mode (Do nothing/Ask me what to do/Standby/Hibernate/Shut down) assigned to the Power button and/or Rest <Esc> key. Also select the action (Do nothing/Standby/Hibernate) associated with closing the computer lid.

The “Rest” key is assigned to the <Fn+Esc> key combination. See ”Basic Power Management Schemes” on page 62 for a better understanding of Standby and Hibernate modes.

Using the Battery

Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery.

Charging the Battery

Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to the computer and to an electrical outlet.

Approximate charging time for the Li-Ion battery is 2 hours. While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is amber. When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.

When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long period of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes after a few discharge-recharge cycles.

Follow these rules for charging your battery:

• A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time.

Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use.

• Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the battery.

This can help extend the life of the battery.

• Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 5

C or over 45oC

Tips for Using Your Computer

The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.

• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.

• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent

damage, avoid touching the screen.

• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other

options.

• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around

components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer. Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.

• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a

car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.

• Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a

memory module when the computer is on. (For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory Module” on page 74.)

• Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back

straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.

• Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and

stretch your muscles.

• Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your

files.

System Management 77

Travelling with Your Computer

Air Travel

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

• Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer

with your baggage.

• Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not

hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.

• Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible.

You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.

• Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

Locking your Computer

As a precaution when you are travelling or using your computer in an unsecured area, you should keep your computer as safe as possible. An option to do this is the Security Lock System. Follow the Security Lock System manufacturers instructions for specific installation and use. The following figure shows generally how to use the lock.

78 Users Manual

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:

• If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the

keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.

• If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as

much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.

Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.

• If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and

denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.

Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the battery fully charged.

If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the battery from the unit.

Modem Related

Q1 I cannot hear the modem sound.

A1 Check that the telephone line is properly connected to the modem.

A2 Check that the modem driver is installed properly.

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System.

2. Select Hardware tab > Device Manager > Modems in the System Properties

window, and check if there is a yellow exclamation mark on the installed modem icon. If there is, delete the modem device driver and reinstall the driver, because the yellow exclamation mark represents a not properly installed driver.

3. If there is no yellow exclamation mark, double-click the installed modem, and

click Diagnostics tab > Query Modem in the Modem Properties window to diagnose the modem.

No message in either of Command and Response in the Diagnostics tab means that the modem is not operating properly.

Diagnose the modem again after restarting the system or reinstalling the driver.

(You have to exit all programs using modem in the advance of diagnostics of the modem).

A3 Although I can make a connection with the modem, I cannot hear the dial tone

and modem connection sound. In this case check the following list:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Control.

2. Clear the Mute check box in the Telephone Line item.

(Depending on the sound driver, it may be displayed as another name such as Modem, Phone, Mono. If there is no corresponding item, click Options > Properties > Volume Control, select 'Playback', and select the 'Telephone Line' under the 'Display the following volume controls'. Click OK.)

Q2 I cannot make a call using an extension line.

A In general, the dial tone of a PBX or a digital phone switching system is not a

86 Users Manual

continuous one, unlike that of trunk line.

Therefore, the modem may not make a call because the modem mistakes the dial tone from a PBX or a digital phone switching system as a busy tone.

In this case, complete the following procedures.

- Using an AT command

As an initialization command, use the command, ATX3.

Otherwise, enter the ATX3 command manually before making a call.

It can correct this problem by skipping the dial tone check step.

- Configuring the Modem through the Control Panel

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections.

2. Under See Also, click Phone and Modem Options.

3. In the Modems tab, select the installed modem, and click Properties.

4. In the Modem tab of the Modem Properties window, clear the 'Wait for dial tone

before dialing' check box.

5. When the configuration is completed, click OK.

Q3 How do I use my modem when dialing from overseas?

A1 Check that the modem is correctly configured according to the current country.

Because the values for communication may differ according to the country, you may not be able to connect via the modem due to an incorrect modem configuration.

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections.

2. Under See Also, click Phone and Modem Options.

3. In the Dialing Rules tab, click Edit.

4. In the General tab in the Edit Location window, select the current country from

the Country/region radio box, specify the Area code, and click OK.

A2 Because the shape of the telephone plug may differ according to the country, you

have to purchase and use the appropriate telephone plug for that particular country.

Q4 How do I receive a fax while the system is in power saving mode (Rest mode)

(For Windows XP and 2000)?

A To receive a fax when the system is in power saving mode, and the operating

system is Windows XP or 2000, configure the system as follows:

1. The automatic fax reception function of the fax program needs to be activated.
