Things you must remember before working on your computer Let your computer acclimate itself Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside.
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.
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. Hold the button down for a second or two and release.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack To Remove the Battery Pack: To Install the Battery Pack: 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.

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. • Store discs in a cool dry place not to damage the disc.
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.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status. Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function To charge the battery, while the battery pack is in the notebook, plug the AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet.
Beeping accelerates Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC adapter. When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume to save your work.

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 the audio codec mentioned in the spec 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 least 1024x768 for optimal viewing. ¾ Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Display icon.
To adjust this feature, Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel], and double-click the Keyboard icon. A dialogue box shows up with the adjustable settings for the keyboard. 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.
PC Cards do not function• • Make sure you have properly installed the driver for the card. Consult the card’s manual or contact the vendor for troubleshooting. The PC card cannot be recognized • • • • • Make sure the card is fully inserted; the outer end of the card should be even with the edge of the computer. Remove and insert the PC card again. Make sure there is no IRQ conflict with the card. See Windows on-line help for solving IRQ conflicts. Reboot the computer and see if the problem persists.
• • • This may be normal for Windows when it is processing other CPU-intensive programs in the background or when the system is accessing slow-speed devices such the floppy disk drive. You may be running too many applications. Try to close some applications or increase system memory for higher performance. The processor may have been overheated due to the system’s inability to regulate its internal heat. Make sure the computer’s ventilation grills are not blocked. USB2.
