About the Modem
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information
must be provided to the telephone company.
The modem jack of this equipment complies with Sub-part F of Part 68 of FCC rules.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may
be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs contact the telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for the calling areas.
If the terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the
necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact Sharp Electronics Corp.
for repair and (or) warranty information (Refer to the end of this section). If the
trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request
you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.
The equipment cannot be used on public coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission
for information.)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any
ii
message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent
and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the
message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other
entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or
any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission
charges.) To program this information, refer to the manual of the communication
software.

incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA
approved BS 1362 fuse marked
indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the
fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the
plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed
immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A
socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with
or and of the same rating as above; which is also
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is
marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is
marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in
your three pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, Its value is the same as that removed from the
cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the
lead wires.

• if liquid has been spilled on the computer
• if the computer has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
Location
• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight.
• Try to avoid dusty environments.
• Keep the computer away from any magnetic devices and TVs.
• Keep the computer away from excessive humidity or fluids such as rain, snow,
water spray, juice, coffee, steam, etc.
• Do not move the computer from an extremely cold place to an extremely warm
place. A temperature difference of more than 10°C (18°F) will cause condensation
inside the unit, which may cause damage.
• Do not block or cover slots or openings on the cabinet. They protect the computer
from overheating.
• Do not place the computer on unstable or uneven work surfaces.
• Do not use the computer on your lap or any part of your body for an extended
period during operation or charging to avoid injury from heat exposure.
Usage
• Never push any objects of any kind into cabinet openings. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short parts that could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Turn off the computer before installing or removing a peripheral device (except
when connecting USB devices, IEEE1394 devices and PC cards).
• Check the AC power cord and power connectors periodically for damage. Replace
the power cord immediately if damage is found.
• Never subject your computer to sudden shocks or extreme vibration.
ix
• Do not drop the computer nor hit it with other equipment.
• Do not scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
• Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power cord before cleaning.

CHAPTER 2
Basic Operations
This chapter describes the basic operations of your computer.
Choosing Power Source
You can use the computer with one of the following power sources:
• AC power from a wall outlet
Use AC power whenever possible; rely on the battery only when AC power is not
available.

• Rechargeable battery
A standard battery pack is supplied with the computer. You can also use an
optional add-on battery. See Chapter 3 for the battery information.
About the Power Indicators
The following indicators show the power status of your computer.

The battery indicator is always off when the computer is turned off and not connected
to AC power source.
• When the battery is hot, the battery indicator may turn off and stay off
until the battery becomes cool.
• For more information on System standby/hibernate, see Chapter 3.
Using the AC Adapter
When connected to a wall outlet, the AC adapter provides power for operation and
charges the battery. The AC input voltage can range from 100 to 240 volts so that you
can use the computer with the appropriate plug adapter.
The AC power cord included with the computer is appropriate for the
voltage used in the area in which you purchased your computer. If you
attempt to connect the computer to a wall in other areas, check the
voltage of the outlet and use an AC power cord appropriate for the outlet.
Consult local service staff if you are not sure.
2-2
Resetting the System
You may need to restart the system if the computer becomes inoperable or after
adding new hardware or software. When the message appears after the installation,
click OK, Yes, etc. to restart Windows.
You can also restart Windows by clicking start – Turn Off Computer; then, Restart.
Warm Boot (Software Reset)
If the system is locked up because of a software problem, you can reset or reboot the
system by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously and select Users tab of
Windows Task Manager dialog box. Click Disconnect or Logoff, then, Yes.
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the resetting process only if the
normal Windows Shut Down does not work because of software
malfunction. Although resetting will not damage the system, you may
lose the data you are processing.
2
Power Switch
You can turn off the computer by pressing the power button if you encounter
hardware or software problems locking up the system. In this case, press the power
button for more than four seconds.
