2-1
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
can use your computer with the appropriate plug adapter.
2
• 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 other than in this area,
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 hangs up or a new hardware or
software is installed. When a 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 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 program name that hangs up, then,
End Task. If this does not solve the problem, select User tab click Disconnect or
Logoff of Windows Task Manager dialog box, then Yes.
Power Switch
You can turn off your computer with the power button if you encounter hardware or
software problems that lock up the system. In this case, press the power button for
more than four seconds.
Removing AC Adapter and Battery Pack
If pressing the power button fails to turn off your computer, remove the AC adapter,
then, the battery pack. Ten seconds later, reinstall the battery pack, connect the AC
adapter and then, turn on your computer.
Before removing the AC adapter and the battery pack, confirm the hard
disk indicator is not lit.
2
2-3
Using Glide Pad
Your computer is equipped with an integrated pointing device called a 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.
Enabling Glide Pad
When a USB mouse is connected to one of the USB ports of your computer, the glide
pad is disabled, which means that your computer does not respond to any tapping on
the pad. Therefore, confliction with the mouse and/or unexpected move of the pointer
on the screen can be avoided.
To enable the glide pad, use one of the following ways.
Glide Pad
• Disconnect the connected USB mouse. (No mouse must be connected.)
• With a USB mouse connected, open Mouse Properties dialog box, click Device
Settings tab, then, Enable button. (This operation allows your computer to always
respond to the glide pad, while the connected USB mouse also works.)
When the glide pad is disabled, the Touch Pad icon ( ) on the taskbar is
crossed ( ).
2-4
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 finger on the glide pad.
Move Your Fingertip
The rectangular pad of the glide pad is used to move the pointer around the display.
As you slide your fingertip across the pad, 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.
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.
If the interval between clicks is too long, the double-click will not
function.
Drag and Drop
You can move the items by using “drag and drop” below:
1. Position the pointer over the item you wish to move.
2. Press the left button; do not release it.
3. Move the pointer while holding the left button. The item moves together with the
pointer.
4. Release the button when the item reaches its destination.
Or you can tap the pad twice and hold it 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
2
2-5
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
icon on the taskbar.
