Operating Information Chapter Two - Operating Information Workplace A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Remember to avoid areas from: 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 notebook computer by cleaning dust, water, and etc.
Operating Information Operating System This notebook computer is compatible with most operating systems (OS). However, not all functions are 100% compatible. For example, ACPI, Smart Battery, and etc. are not available on DOS, and other non-Microsoft OS. Consequently “Standby”, “Hibernation”, “Battery Gauge”, and etc. would not work under such operating systems.
Operating Information Shut down Before shutting down, please always remember to save the unfinished works and close the application for preventing from any possible data loss or HDD damage. “Shut down” will totally turn OFF the power of your notebook computer. If you want to start your notebook computer again, you need to press the power switch. Sleep/ Hibernate Sleep Under “Sleep” mode, the system will temporarily save your work into RAM.
Operating Information Rapid Start Technology Your computer can operate Intel® Rapid Start Technology when SSD is installed. This technology enables your system resume time not only to be as fast as wake-up time from S3 (Sleep) mode, but also to be more energy saving.
Operating Information Keyboard The keyboard is functionally equivalent to a full size desktop keyboard. A sample layout is shown below. The Numeric Keypad The numeric keypad functions are the same as an electronic calculator. It is embedded in the main keyboard, with the numeric figures printed on the upper right of their respective keys. There are keys for the digits 0~9, the decimal point ( . ), addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), and division ( / ) in the keypad.
Operating Information Hard Disk Drive (HDD) The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a 2.5” type/ 9.5mm height standard SATAII interface data storage device. HDD and ODD (Optical Disk Drive) are removable. This design provides convenience and security. They can ONLY be removed when the power is OFF. Note: NEVER drop your HDD, ODD or expose them to high temperature, high humidity, or any hazardous environment. NEVER try to disassemble the module. Static discharge may destroy your device and data.
Operating Information Read from the ODD The ODD may be designated as drive D: or higher depending on your configuration. You may access to it in DOS or Windows. Please avoid shock or vibration when the optical device is active. Express Cards The computer supports 54 mm or 34 mm wide ExpressCard. You can install an ExpressCard while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects the card. To install an ExpressCard: - Hold the card with the top side of the card.
Operating Information RTC Battery backed up RTC (Real Time Clock/Calendar) is built in an on-board CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chip. The RTC keeps track of the time and date while the computer is off. The CMOS chip also stores system setup information. RTC battery is also recharged when AC adapter is attached. Recharge the computer approximately once per month to ensure RTC operation.
Operating Information Replacing Modules To remove the modules: 1. Turn OFF the computer or hibernate. 2. Disconnect all cables from the computer. 3. Use a coin to turn and loose the screws on the modules. 4. Remove the battery from the compartment. 5. Push the latch knob to release the ODD or HDD module and push them outward. 6. Remove the module from the computer. To re-install the modules: Gently push the module into the slot. Fasten the screw to fix the module.
Operating Information Wireless Devices (Optional) Before using wireless devices, please turn “ON” the Wireless Devices All ON/OFF Switch, and then use the Device Power Manager to do the rest settings. The following instructions are only for the models with optional Wireless Devices (Wireless LAN/ Bluetooth/ GPS) and taking the systems working under Windows 7/ 64-bit OS for example. Wireless LAN 1. Driver & Application Installation: a. Install the Chipset Driver first. b.
Operating Information Bluetooth 1. Driver & Application Installation: a. Install the Bluetooth driver first. b. Then, install the Wireless Manager. 2. Launch the Device Power Manager: a.

Launch the Device Power Manager. b. Click “GPS” for enabling the GPS function (click again for disabling the GPS function). Once the GPS starts up, the RF LED will turn on accordingly.
Operating Information Chapter Two - 20
Managing Power Chapter Three - Managing Power 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 (100V or 240V) 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.
Managing Power Battery The power source will automatically switch to battery when the external power source (AC adapter or optional vehicle adapter) is disconnected. Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer gives the following “Battery Low” warnings: Windows battery low warning (when operating system is Windows). The power LED flashes. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please: Save and close the files you are currently working on.
Managing Power Battery Gauge You may check battery status from battery gauge in Windows. Click the power/battery icon to reveal the battery gauge window. Battery Power Saving Tips The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by: Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options). Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control. Use standby option when computer is temporarily not in use.
Managing Power Power Conservation This computer consumes much less power than conventional computers. However, power consumption may be reduced by configuring the Power Management Setup properly. It is recommended the power saving functions to be enabled even when not running on battery power. Power Management will not degrade performance while saving power. Supporting ACPI Your notebook computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management.
