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 n u mber 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

2-1
The battery indicator is always off when your computer is turned off and not
connected to AC power source.
Using 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
2
can use your computer with the appropriate plug adapter.
• 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.
The AC power cord included with your computer is appropriate for the
voltage used in the area in which you purchased your computer. If you
attempt to connect your computer to a wall outlet 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 System
You may need to restart the system if your 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.
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the resetting process only if the
normal Windows XP Shut Down does not work because of software
malfunction. Although resetting will not damage the system, you may lose
the data you are processing.
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 Applications tab
of Windows Task Manager dialog box. Click the name of the program hanging up,
then, End Task. If this does not work, select Users tab and click Disconnect or Logoff,
then, Yes.
Power Switch
You can turn off your 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.
Reset Switch
If you cannot turn off your computer with the power button, you can use the reset
switch on the bottom of your computer. To reset the system, insert a narrow object
into the small hole to press the switch.

Using Glide Pad
Your computer is equipped with an integrated pointing device called glide pad. Using
the glide pad, you can move the pointer, select an item from a menu and perform other
tasks in the same way you would with a mouse.
2
• Do not hit or scratch the surface of the glide pad with pointed objects
(such as a ballpoint pen).
• Do not operate the glide pad with a moist finger. This may cause the
glide pad to operate incorrectly.
Using Glide Pad
Take a moment to become familiar with how the glide pad works.
Place Your Fingertip
Place your left or right hand next to the glide pad, resting your wrist naturally in a
relaxed manner. Place your thumb or a finger(s) on the glide pad.
Move Your Fingertip
The rectangular surface of the glide pad acts like a miniature duplicate of the display.
As you slide your fingertip across the surface, the pointer on the screen moves in the
same direction across the screen. The glide pad is very sensitive, so you do not have to
exert much pressure on the pad. The glide pad will respond to a light touch from your
fingertip.
Pointer
Glide Pad
2-4
Click, Double-click, and Right-click
To click or double-click, you can use the left button just like that of a mouse. Instead
of clicking the left button, you can also just tap gently anywhere on the rectangular
pad. For right-clicking, you must use the right button.
Drag and Drop
You can move icons or windows by using “drag and drop” below:
1. Position the pointer over the object.
2. Press the left button; do not release it.
3. Holding down the button, move the pointer. The object moves together with the
pointer.
4. Release the button when the object reaches its destination.
Or you can tap the pad twice instead of pressing the left button in the step 2.
Scroll
You can scroll through information in a list or in a document by using the glide pad.
To view information vertically, place your finger on the most right part of the glide
pad and slide your finger up and down. To view horizontally, place your finger on the
bottom part of the glide pad and slide your finger to the left or the right. This
procedure works only in limited applications.
Changing Configuration
In the Mouse Properties dialog box, you can change the configuration of the glide
pad, such as swapping left and right buttons, changing the pointer size, etc. Doubleclick Touch Pad icon (
) on the taskbar to open the Mouse Properties dialog box.
