You can use the provided AC adapter to supply your computer with power from an AC wall outlet.

1. Place the computer so that you have easy access to its rear panel.

2. Plug the AC adapter’s connector into the DC-IN connector on the rear panel of the

computer.

3. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to a wall outlet.

Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. An AC adapter is provided along with your Notebook. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer, and do not use the AC adapter to power other electrical devices. Try not to turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk is in use.

Turning on Your Notebook Computer

Before turning on your computer, make sure you are familiar with its features as mentioned in previous chapter. Once you have set up your notebook you are now ready to turn it on. To do this press the power button.

Operating on Battery Power

Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an external power source.

We recommend you to use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer. Try not to use the wrong battery for it would cause serious damage to your computer.

Battery Low-Power Warning

Low Battery Warning

Low battery condition occurs when battery power is reduced to 6%. The green power LED indicator blinks and the system beeps once every 16 seconds or so.

Very Low Battery Warning

Very Low battery condition occurs at 3 % power remaining. The power LED indicator blinks and the system beeps at 4-second interval. When the notebook warns you of its low battery condition, you will have about 3-5 minutes to save your current work.

Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0 degree Celsius (32 degree F) or above 60 degree C (140F). This may adversely affect the battery pack.

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer when you unpack it. If it is not inserted, follow these directions:

1. Turn off the notebook.

2. Turn the Notebook over and locate the battery compartment.

3. Insert the battery into the empty compartment. It is designed so that it only fits one

way. It should easily “click” into place.

4. Be sure that the battery release latch on the battery has clicked into place. This will

prevent the battery from sliding out of its compartment.

To remove the battery pack:

1. Turn off the Notebook.

2. Slide the battery latch into the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration.

3. Hold the battery at the finger grip and slide the battery out.

Charging the Battery and Charging Time

To charge the battery, while the battery pack is in the notebook, plug the AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet.

The charging time is approximately 2.5 hours when the notebook is turned off and approximately

4.5-6 hours when the notebook is turned on.

When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator becomes dark (off).

If system runs at heavy loading or in a high temperature environment, the battery may not be fully charged. You need to continue to charge it with the AC adapter plugged in until the charging LED turns off.

Checking the Battery Level

You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows battery status indicator, which is located at the lower right-hand corner of the task bar. (If you do not see a battery or AC-in icon on the task tray, go to Power Options Properties box and click on the Advanced tab. Check off ``Always show icon on the task bar``.)

Alternatively, you can access the power meter by clicking the Power Options icon in the Windows Control Panel.

Prolonging the Battery’s Life and Usage Cycles

There are ways you can do to prolong the use of battery.

 Use the AC adapter wherever AC wall outlet is available. This will ensure uninterrupted

computing.

 Purchase additional battery pack.  Store the battery pack in room temperature. Higher temperature tends to deplete the

battery’s power faster.

 Make good use of the power management function. Save To Disk (Hibernate) saves the

most energy by storing current system contents in a hard disk space reserved for this function.

 The life expectancy of the battery is approximately 300 recharges.  See the notices section in the beginning of the user manual on how to care for the battery

pack.

Read Section Protecting Your Notebook in the beginning of this manual for tips about how to maintain the battery pack. To achieve optimal battery performance, you may need to do a battery calibration at a 3-month interval. To do this:

 Then discharge the battery by entering the BIOS setup screen. (Press F2 key as soon as you

turn on the computer. And let it remain at the setup screen until the battery runs out.

 Fully charge the battery again.

Using Windows Power Options

Windows Power Management provides basic power saving features. In the Windows Power Options Properties [Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options] dialogue box, you may enter time-out values for display and hard disk drive. Windows power manager saves power by turning off hard drive after 1 minute of inactivity, for example.

Windows’ Power Schemes

The power management control panel in Windows XP, known as Power Schemes, is designed to provide the user with an easy-to-use interface. The Power Schemes tab can be found in the Power Options Properties panel that is accessible via the control panel window.

Schemes are easy to understand, based on notebook usage scenarios, and control not only processor power usage but other system peripherals as well.

Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Power Options icon.

Always on mode puts the processor into maximum performance mode, which provides no power saving. The other schemes control processor performance based on demand. For example, Max Battery mode lowers the processor’s speed and voltage to conserve power as much as possible.

In this dialog box, you can manually set the LCD and hard drive’s time-out values in the Plugged in column and in the Running on batteries column. Lower time-out values will save more battery power.

Also consult Windows user guide for more information on how to use Windows power management functions. Actual dialogue box shown above may appear slightly different.

Suspend Mode

Standby Suspend

The system automatically enters this mode after a period of inactivity, which is set in the Power Schemes dialog box. In Standby mode, hardware devices, such as display panel and hard disk, are turned off to conserve energy.

Hibernate Suspend

In this mode, all system data are saved in the hard disk before powering down. When this mode is activated, all system state and contents are saved to the hard disk drive after a period of inactivity defined by the user. No power or very little power is drawn from the battery module under this mode.

However, depending on how much RAM that have been installed on your computer, the amount of time the system requires to restore all its previous contents can range from 5 to 20 seconds.

For Windows 2000 / XP users, hibernation is handled by the operating system; therefore, no special disk partition or disk file is necessary. If you wish to activate Hibernate mode, you need enable Hibernate Support in the Hibernate tab of the Power Options menu.

Do not install or remove the memory module when the system is in the suspend mode. Actual dialogue box shown above may appear slightly different.

Power Button Action

The notebook PC’s power button turns the notebook on and off the system.

Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options] and click on the Advanced tab. In the pull-down menu, select how you wish the power button to work as.

The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It runs and maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is a menu-driven software, which allows you to easily configure and change the settings.

The BIOS contains manufacture’s default settings for the computer’s standard operations. However, there are occasions when you may be required to modify the default settings in the BIOS. For example, you may need to configure the BIOS power management (APM) settings if you are using DOS, or non-Windows operating system.

The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users. This is an important feature because a great deal of vital information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will learn how to use this security feature.

Entering the BIOS Setup Screen

First turn on the power. When the BIOS perform the POST (Power-On Self Test), press F2 key quickly to activate the AMI BIOS Setup Utility.

You may need to press F2 key fairly quickly. Once the system begins to load Windows, you may have to retry by cycle-power on again

In this chapter, you will learn how to upgrade the DRAM, hard disk drive, and to install the optional wireless LAN mini PCI card.

Warning: We strongly recommend you sending your notebook back to your dealer or

agent for the specification upgrading.

When you upgrade your system, please turn off the power, disconnect the LAN and

Modem cable first for your safety.

After system upgrade, please screw all the screws before turn on.

Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive

Replacing the original drive with one of larger capacity can increase the hard drive capacity of your computer. The computer uses a 9.5 mm (height), 2.5-inch Serial ATA type hard disk.

Be sure to make a backup copy of all your data before attempting this operation.

Hard drive upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty. Apply care when handling the hard disk.

 Do not drop or apply any shock.

 Do not press on the cover.

 Do not touch the connector with your fingertips.

 Mishandling of the hard drive can result in permanent loss of data. Make a backup copy of

the drive s content before you remove it.

To replace the hard disk drive, do the following:

1. Turn OFF the computer. Unhook the AC cord and all cables/devices attached to the

notebook.

2. Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to discharge any static electricity.

3. Un-screw the two screw that lock the HDD compartment.

4. Slide the HDD into the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration.

5. Pull up the HDD away from the compartment.

Upgrading the System Memory

Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer provides two DDRII memory sockets, located underneath the keyboard. You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as DIMM) of a higher capacity.

Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty.Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving mode may cause permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off the power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.

Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations and/or mishandling may cause problems.

This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting common hardware and software problems that you may encounter.

When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through the recommendations in this chapter. Instead of returning the computer and waiting for repair, you may easily solve the problems by considering the following scenarios and possible solutions. If the error continues, contact your reseller for service information.

Before taking further actions, consider the following suggestions:

 Check to see if the problem persists when all the external devices are removed.  Check to see that the green light indicator on the AC adapter is lit.  Check to see the power cord is properly plugged to the wall outlet and to the computer.  Check to see the power indicator of the computer is on.  Check to see if your keyboard is operational by pressing and holding any key.  Check for any incorrect or loose cable connections. Make sure the latches on the connectors

latch securely on to the receptor end.

 Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the hardware devices in the BIOS

Setup utility. A faulty setting may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults.

 Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For example, without the audio driver

properly installed, the speakers and microphone will not work.

 If external devices such as USB camera, scanner, printer do not function correctly when

connected to the system, it is usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s manufacturer first.

 Some software programs, which have not gone through rigorous coding and testing, may

cause problems during your routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving.

 Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need to restart the system with these

devices powered up and connected first.

 Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING after BIOS re-flash.  Be sure the Quick Key Lockout Switch on the bottom of the computer is not engaged;

otherwise the quick keys will not work.
