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 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.

Using The 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.

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.

Glide Pad

Using the 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 rectangul ar pad of the gli de pad acts like a miniature dupli cate of the disp l ay. 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

2-4

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.

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 step 2.

Scroll

You can scrol l through informatio n 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 left or right. This procedure works only in limited applications.

Standard Battery Pack

When not connected to an external power source, your computer operates with the rechargeable standard battery pack. The duration of the battery life may be longer if the computer’s Power Management is active. See the next section for power management.

To keep the battery life long:

•

Initialize the battery pack if the actual remaining power in your battery is less

than what Windows Power Meter indicates.

•

Turn off your computer when you are not usi ng it.

The duration of the battery will depe nd on the computer usage.

•

Applications which heavily use the peripherals will experience shorter power duration. When the battery has not been charged, your computer may not

•

operate properly. Connect the AC power to charge the battery. When using the computer for several hours with battery packs, enable

•

charged. This is because the battery pack is hot, and the charging stops temporarily. When the battery becomes cool, the charging will start and the battery indicator turn on again. The battery pack may not be installed correctly if the battery indicator

•

blinks orange. In this case, turn off the computer, remove the AC

adapter and the battery pack; then, install the battery pack and connect the AC adapter again. If the battery indicator still blinks orange, ask your local dealer for assistance. When the battery pack is hot(for example, after a long usage), it may

•

take longer to fully charge the battery pack.
