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.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery. Never turn off or reset your notebook while the hard disk is in use 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.
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.

The TouchPad The touchpad is a rectangular electronic panel located just below your keyboard. You can use the static-sensitive panel of the touchpad and slit it to move the cursor. You can use the buttons below the touchpad as left and right mouse buttons. TouchPad Precautions The TouchPad is a pressure sensitive device. Please take note of the following precautions. Make sure the TouchPad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease. Do not touch the TouchPad if your fingers are dirty.
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.
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. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode. 2. Turn the notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged. 3.
Battery Low Warning When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 7 ~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left. You will hear an audible beep signal every 15 seconds alerting you to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate. Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data.
Resetting the System After installing a software application package, you may be prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating environment. To reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.” This key combination acts as “software” reset switch when you encounter hardware or software problems, which lock up the notebook.
Desktop Desktop may vary differently on the software installed in your notebook with different or additional shortcuts. Recycle Bin Used for storing deleted files in case you want to recover and save it in your system. The files will only be deleted from the Recycle Bin permanently only if you empty it by right clicking your mouse and select the “Empty Recycle Bin”. Start Button Allows easy access to all Windows programs.
The Start menu allows you to adapt and show the programs used most frequently. If you wish to keep an item, right click the item and click Pin to Start menu. Log Off will enable the current user to log off and allows a new user to log on. Turn Off Computer allows you to shut down, restart, and Stand by modes for power saving purposes. Taskbar When you open a program, its icon is displayed at the taskbar for you to conveniently move between programs by clicking the relevant button.

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.
Select Recording and click the OK button. 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 the audio codec mentioned in the spec is the default recording device.
Many browsers store files in the hard drive as a cache to speed up the performance. Check the program’s Online Help for instructions on decreasing the cache size or on removing temporary Internet files. Empty the Recycle Bin to create more disk space. When you delete files, Windows saves them to the Recycle Bin. The hard disk takes longer to read a file If you have been using the drive for a period, the files may be fragmented.
down or powering up. Keyboard and Mouse Problems The built-in touch pad performs erratically Make sure there is no excess perspiration or humidity on your hand when using the touch pad. Keep the surface of the touch pad clean and dry. Do not rest your palm or wrist on the surface of the touchpad while typing or using the touch pad. The built-in keyboard accepts no input Please try to make sure the system doesn’t hang up and is still working.
Memory Problems The POST does not show an increased memory capacity when you have already installed additional memory Certain brands of memory module may not be compatible with your system. You should ask your vendor for a list of compatible DIMM. The memory module may be defective. The O/S issues an insufficient memory error message during operation This is often a software or Windows-related problem. A program is draining the memory resources.
Windows crashes or freezes when you remove the PC card Make sure you have the PC card before removing it. Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon at the lower right corner of the task bar and select the card you wish to stop. When you click , in few seconds Windows will prompt you to remove the card. Performance Problems The computer becomes hot In a 35oC environment, the certain areas of the computer’s back case are expected to reach 50 degrees. Make sure the air vents are not blocked.
USB2.0 Problems The USB device does not work Check the settings in the Windows Control Panel. Make sure you have installed the necessary device drivers. Contact the device vendor for additional support. Unable to use the External USB Device Detach the external device; insert it into the Enhanced USB port. Separate the cable with the equipment; first insert the wire into the port, then connect the device with the cable that is inserted into the Enhanced USB port.
