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 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 Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The PowerOn Self Test (POST) runs automatically.
Explisionsgefahr bei unsachgernazen Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einem vom Hersteller empfohlenem ahnlichen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien navh Angaben des Herstellers.
To Remove 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.

TouchPad Precautions The TouchPad is a pressure sensitive device. Please take note of the following precautions. ¾ Make sure the TouchPad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease. ¾ Do not touch the TouchPad if your fingers are dirty. ¾ Do not rest heavy objects on the TouchPad or the TouchPad buttons. You can use the TouchPad with Microsoft Windows as well as nonWindows applications.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery completely. If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a single month alone, we recommend you to perform the “Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the battery life.
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. The charging time is approximately 2.5 hours when the notebook is turned off and approximately 3.
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.

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.
¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ 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 ¾ ¾ 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 ¾ Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD.
¾ 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 ¾ Please try to make sure the system doesn’t hang up and is still working. The characters on the screen repeat while I type ¾ ¾ ¾ You may be holding the keys down too long while you’re typing. Keep the keyboard clean. Dust and dirt under the keys could cause them to stick. Configure the keyboard to wait longer before the auto repeat feature starts.
The O/S issues an insufficient memory error message during operation ¾ ¾ This is often a software or Windows-related problem. A program is draining the memory resources. Close the application programs you’re not using and restart the system. PC Card Problems Some system may not have the PC Card Slot option. PC Cards do not function ¾ ¾ Make sure you have properly installed the driver for the card. Consult the card’s manual or contact the vendor for troubleshooting.
Performance Problems The computer becomes hot ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ 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. If the fan does not seem to be working at high temperature (50 degrees Celsius and up), contact the service center. Certain programs that are processor-intensive may increase the computer temperature to a degree where the computer automatically slows down its CPU clock to protect itself from thermal damage.
