Introduction

Innovative technology and ergonomic design make this notebook the ideal user-friendly and reliable travel companion. Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your notebook for the first time.

The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to use the battery capacity of your notebook effectively. By using an additional battery instead of the disk drive, you can double the notebook’s mobile operation time.

Your notebook has 32 - 192 MB of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Data is saved on an Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive. Your notebook is also equipped with a 3 1/2" floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive. In addition, your notebook can be equipped with a DVD drive or with a 2 hard disk drive. Two PC card slots (CardBus or PCMCIA) enable the notebook to operate two type II PC cards or one type III PC card.

For mouse control the notebook provides a touchpad. A double-touch directly on the touchpad is all that is needed, for example, to open an application.

Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as, e.g. external monitor, printer and mouse. The parallel port (which supports ECP and EPP modes) is designed to accommodate bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripherals such as, e. g. scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard or mouse via the USB interface.

The notebook disposes of a infrared interface for wireless data transfer. In addition, the notebook has a connection port for a MobiDock or a QuickPort. An audio controller, two loudspeakers, a microphone, an audio input and output and a loudspeaker

output provide your notebook with an audio capability. You can thus incorporate voice, noise effects and music into your notebook environment. You can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker.

The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, power-management functions) can be modified via various key combinations while you are using the notebook.

Your notebook has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorized persons can access your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security functions in the

This device contains a light-emitting diode, classified according to IEC 825-1:1993: LASER

You may use both 8-cm and 12-cm CDs. When using CDs/DVDs of minor quality vibrations and reading errors may occur.

CLASS 1 (LUOKAN 1 LASERLAITE, KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT), and must not be opened. There is an invisible laser radiation when the cover is open. Avoid exposure to the beam. Avoid touching the surface of a CD. Handle CDs only by their edges!

Always store CDs/DVDs in their cases. You avoid dust contamination, scratches, bending or other damage.

Protect your CDs/DVDs from dust, mechanical vibration and direct sunlight! Avoid storing a CD/DVD in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.

1 = Power-on indicator 2 = Insert/Eject button

Power-on indicator

The power-on indicator (1) flashes when a CD/DVD is inserted. It goes out when the drive is ready for reading. It lights up when the drive is accessed.

If the power-on indicator does not go out after the CD/DVD is inserted, and continues to

Suspend mode

In suspend mode, all current data (active programs, files) is saved to the hard disk or buffered in the memory, and the notebook is switched off.

Suspend to Disk

The active data can only be saved if sufficient space is available on the hard disk (at least the main memory size + 2 Mbytes). If the operating system Windows NT or OS/2 Warp is used, a FAT partition with this space must be created as a drive on the hard disk (see manual for respective operating system).

Suspend to DRAM

The current data is buffered in the memory (DRAM). The data is stored for as long as the notebook is supplied with energy. If the battery is full, the data is stored for a matter of days. Without a battery and without a power supply the data is stored for only around 5 minutes. Without a battery and without a power supply the current data is lost.

The parallel interface supports three transfer modes: SPP, EPP and ECP. SPP mode (standard parallel port) is the mode traditionally used to drive a printer. EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) modes are transfer modes that allow transfer rates of 2 and 2.4 Mbytes/s. These modes will only work in connection with peripheral devices which specifically support them. Cases where these transfer modes are used are, for example, interface conversions between Parallel and SCSI or Parallel and IDE. The pinouts are different in all three modes.
