Suitable place to work Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system. A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling.

Getting Started Connecting to a Power Source Connecting the AC Adapter A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country. To connect the computer to an external power source: Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own AC adapter.
Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery. Never turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk is in use and the CD-ROM status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry. Turning On Your Notebook Computer Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions or local laws. Explisionsgefahr bei unsachgernazen Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einem vom Hersteller empfohlenem ahnlichen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien navh Angaben des Herstellers.
Charging the Battery Pack The installed battery pack charges automatically any time the computer is connected to the AC adapter and an external power source. It is a good idea to occasionally discharge the battery pack fully to preserve its operating performance.
Using the Notebook Computer Adjusting the LCD Screen Display The LCD screen display can be adjusted by the following key combinations. KEYS Fn + F9 Fn + F8 Fn + F10 FUNCTIONS Increases the brightness level. Decreases the brightness level. Changes Display Mode: LCD-only, CRT-only and LCD&CRT.

Low power consumption 12.7mm height Precautions for Handling CD Discs • • • • • • Always hold the disc by the edges, avoid touching the surface. Use a clean, dry, cloth to remove dust, smudges, or fingerprints. Wipe from the center outward. Do not write or place objects on the surface of the disc.
The CD disk tray should eject immediately. This procedure can also be used to remove a CD from the drive when the Notebook is powered off. Power Saving Modes This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power. The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use (Battery Calibration) Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC within the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery life status. To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below: 1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the Notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the next step.
Battery Status Windows Vista has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery. Battery Low Warning When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 7 ~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
If the Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses power.

Troubleshooting 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.
• • • • • • 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.
After Click OK button, the recording volume control panel will appear. Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Multimedia icon (or Sounds and Audio Devices icon). In the Volume or Audio page, make sure that Realtek AC97 Audio is the default recording device.
The hard disk takes longer to read a file • • If you have been using the drive for a period, the files may be fragmented. Go to [Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter] to perform a disk defragmentation. This operation may take a while. Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the system performance. The files are corrupted • Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD.
Display Problems The display panel is blank when the system is turned on • Make sure the computer is not in the Standby or Hibernate suspend modes. The display is turned off to conserve energy in these modes. The screen is difficult to read • The display resolution should at least be set to at least1024x768 for optimal viewing. ¾ Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Display icon. ¾ Under the Settings page, set screen resolution to at least 1024x800 and choose at least 256 colors.

CMOS Battery Problem A message “CMOS Checksum Failure” displays during the booting process or the time (clock) resets when booting • • Try to reboot the system. If the message “CMOS Checksum Failure” appears during the booting procedure even after rebooting, it may indicate failure of the CMOS battery. If so, you need to replace the battery. This battery normally lasts two to five years. The battery is of type CR2032 (3V).
• Consult the card’s manual or contact the vendor for troubleshooting. The PC card cannot be recognized • • • • • • Windows NT4.0 does not support PCMCIA (PC Card) function.
