Troubleshooting
I am having trouble connecting to the Internet.
• Be sure WiFi is enabled. Press the F3 special function key to toggle on/off.
• If you are using a wireless connection, check the placement of your router/
modem to ensure the best wireless signal.
• Call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance.
My PC is powering off when I don’t want it to.
• If the exhaust vents near the hinge are obstructed, the PC may overheat and
shut down to prevent damage. Ensure these vents are never blocked. It is
best to place your PC on a hard surface when using.
Can I manually reset the laptop?
• Yes. If your PC is not responding, you can perform a reset by inserting a
paper clip into the RESET hole on the bottom of the PC and holding for 10
seconds.
I can’t connect my Bluetooth device.
• Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your PC. Go to the system tray in the lower
right corner of your screen and click the Bluetooth icon. Turn Bluetooth on.
• Follow the instructions on p22 along with the instructions that came with your
Bluetooth device.
Most issues with the Windows operating system can be resolved using the built-in help
system, but if you need additional assistance, call Microsoft Technical Support:
For US and Canada: (877) 274-1140
For Mexico: (800) 563-0602
Technical support provided by Microsoft for fi rst 90 days.

I am having trouble with my PC. How do I perform a system restore?
Sometimes installing a program or driver can make Windows run slowly or
unpredictably. System Restore can return your PC’s system files and programs
to a time when everything was working fine, potentially preventing hours of
troubleshooting. It won’t affect your documents, pictures, or other data.
1. Before you start System Restore, save any open files and close all programs.
System Restore will restart your PC.
2. Open System Restore by selecting the Search button. In the search box, type
System Restore, and then, in the list of results, click System Restore. If you’re
prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password
or provide confirmation.
3. Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your
computer.
There is no sound from my PC’s speakers.
• Increase the volume using the function keys (F8 and F9).
• Ensure the volume is not muted. Press F7 to toggle the mute function.
• Increase the volume conrol in Windows.
• If you are using external speakers or headphones, ensure they are securely
connected to the PC. If they have a manual volume control, increase the
volume using that control.

Due to pre-installed software, media content, etc., the HDD
capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than
the size stated in the product specifications, documentation
or on the packaging. The storage capacity of the HDD is
as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Wireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the
level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such
as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless
equipment in such a manner that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized.

ENERGY STAR®
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR®
program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers
to promote energy-efcient products. Any VIZIO product
bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during
a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA
ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.
The Power Management feature enables the computer
to enter a low-power (or “sleep”) mode after a period of
inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the
Power Management feature has been preset to power
down the computer and monitor after the following
specified periods of inactivity:
Greener Methods
Operating
System
Computer Monitor
On Battery Windows 7 10 minutes 2 minutes
Plugged In Windows 7 15 minutes 5 minutes
Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep
mode through user interaction with any of the computer
input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help
reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer
when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as
at night and on weekends. For more information on the
ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.
Screen Savers and Power Settings
Screen savers may prevent your computer from going to
sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also
reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number
of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your
computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining
optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends
that you do not disable the power settings.
Reduced Paper Use
For some products, VIZIO provides online-only user manuals.
This enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and cut
down on paper waste. It also allows us to make frequent
product updates, and ensures that you always have the
most recent product information. Products with an onlineonly user manual are packaged with a printed Quick Start
Guide to help you get up and running quickly.

Caution: To reduce the risk of damage to
the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of
data, remove the data from a drive before
removing the drive from a drive bay and
before shipping, storing or traveling with
that drive.
When traveling by airplane, bring the computer as
carry-on luggage and do not check the computer in
with your checked-in luggage.
Caution: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fi elds. Security devices with magnetic
fi elds may include airport walk-through
devices and security wands. Airport conveyor belts or similar security devices that
check carry-on luggage generally use
X-rays and should not cause magnetic
damage to drives.
If you are traveling internationally, check the customs
regulations for computer use for each country you will
visit, and check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the
computer as voltage, frequency and plug confi gurations may vary.
Warning: To reduce risk of electric shock,
fi re or damage to your computer or other
property, do not attempt to power the
computer with a voltage converter kit sold
for appliances.
If the computer will be unused and disconnected from
external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the bat-
tery and store separately. If shipping the computer, use
appropriate protective packaging and label the pack-
age “FRAGILE.”
Battery Disposal
Caution: Battery cells may explode. Do not
dispose of the battery in a fi re or with ordinary household waste. Dispose of batteries promptly. Replace the battery only with

need to replace it, the procedure must be
performed by an authorized service technician.
