(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels. The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 0.
Important Note FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter. CE Products with the CE Marking comply with both the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European Community.

Getting Started GETTING STARTED Unpacking The following components come with your computer. If anything is missing or damaged, please notify the dealer immediately.
Getting Started Quick Check - Insert the battery into compartment; fix the screw till battery is in position. - Attach the AC adapter and charge battery for at least 10 minutes. Turn ON the computer by pressing the power button momentarily. Notice: - When ambient temperature is under 0℃, the system may not boot up immediately. System will beep with charge light flashing while heater working.
Getting Started Controls and Indicators Note: Some of the functions are optional.
Getting Started : Battery charge/heater activity indicator ON: Charging OFF: Battery full (when no battery installed it’s off, too) Flash: Heater active (heater is an optional device) : HDD (Hard Disk Drive) activity indicator : Power indicator Rear 1 1.

Components and Operations COMPONENTS AND OPERATIONS Location A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Avoid areas with: - Sudden or extreme changes in temperature. - Extreme heat. - Strong electromagnetic fields (near television set, motor rotation area, etc.). - Dust or high humidity. If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain your computer by cleaning dust, water, etc. and keep it in optimal condition.
Components and Operations AC Adapter The AC adapter performs two functions: - It powers the computer from an external AC source. - It charges the computer battery. The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and adjusts accordingly. The following are recommended when using the AC adapter: - Use a properly grounded AC outlet. - Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other appliances on the same line may cause interference.
Components and Operations - Shut down the computer when it will not be in use for longer period of time. Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer gives the following “Battery Low” warnings: - Windows battery low warning. - The power LED flashes. Once the “Battery Low” warning occurs, please: - Save and close the files you are currently working on then shut down the computer. - Plug in AC or vehicle adapter to recharge the battery.
Components and Operations Charging the Battery Plug in the AC adapter or vehicle adapter to start the battery charging. If the battery is already full, the sense circuitry will stop high current charge within several minutes. The LED Indicator turns ON when the battery is charging and turns OFF when the battery charge is completed. To charge the Secondary Battery, simply install it into the computer and attach the AC adapter.
Components and Operations Shutdown The following procedure is recommended in shutting down the computer: 1. Save any work you want to keep. 2. Make sure none of the disk drives are active (HDD and CD-ROM drive). 3. Remove any diskettes, CD-ROMs, or other media. 4. Follow the shut down procedure of your Operating System. Failure to shut down the computer properly may result in loss of data or hardware damages. Automatic shut down is activated at battery exhaust.
Components and Operations Replacing Modules Caution! Turn OFF the power before replacing any module. To remove the modules: 1. Turn OFF the computer. (“Hibernate” or “suspend to disk” are not recommended as the parameters may change when modules are changed.) 2. Disconnect all cables from the computer. 3. Use a coin to turn loose the screws on the modules. 4. Remove the battery from the compartment. 5. Remove the HDD from the computer. To re-install the modules: Gently push the module into the slot.
Components and Operations Note: NEVER drops your HDD module or exposes it to high temperature, high humidity, or any hazardous environment. NEVER try to disassemble the module. Static discharge may destroy your device and data. Always pick up the modules by touching the case only. Touch Screen Touch screen facilitates direct finger touch or pen input on the screen instead of mouse or touch pad. PCMCIA Card The computer supports 1x type-II PCMCIA card. To remove the card, push the eject button.
Components and Operations Docklight (optional) Docklight acts as docking unit or port enhancer. It contains more ports that are not available on system unit. Mount Docklight 1. Open the rubber cap on the docking connector. 2. Align the docking connector. 3. Attach Docklight. 4. Fix the screws.
Components and Operations Docklight ports Top 1. Docking connector Bottom and Left: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Components and Operations Stand Unit (optional) Stand unit can hold the system unit and Docklight with adjustable view angle. It can be used in office or in vehicle. There are 2 configuration options: - Stand unit only to accept system unit. - Stand unit with Docklight hooked to accept system unit. Mount Stand Unit 1. Open the rubber cap on the docking connector. 2. Align the computer into stand unit. 3. Push the lever to engage and fix. 4. Lock the computer.
