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: z z z z 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 Work with Power Button Since the notebook computer is equipped with a heater kit to enable the unit to work under low temperature, the heater will first heat HDD up to the temperature set by user, and the system will boot after then. Also, the heater will keep monitoring HDD temperature. Once the temperature becomes lower, the heater will heat up again to maintain the temperature set by user. The function will be different from the way you use with the power button: 1.
Operating Information Shut down Directly click “Shut down” from your OS to turn OFF the power of your computer. Before shutting down, please do remember to save any unfinished works and close your applications to prevent your SSD from suffering possible data loss or damage. “Shut down” will turn OFF power of your computer. If you want to start your computer again, you need to turn it ON again by pressing the power button.
Operating Information Intel® Rapid Start Technology Your notebook 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 Touchpad The touchpad features large-area, multi-touch, and Windows 8 supported. For usage details, please see the following table. 1 2 No. 3 Item Description 1. Touchpad 2. Left-click button Similar to left button of mouse 3. Right-click button Similar to right button of mouse Note: ¾ You can press Fn+F12 to enable/disable touchpad function.
Operating Information Keyboard The keyboard is functionally equivalent to a full size desktop keyboard. A sample layout is shown as below.
Operating Information Managing Solid Static Drive (SSD) The Solid Static Drive (SSD) is a 2.5” type/ 7mm height standard SATAII/III interface data storage device. Some functions, such as Rapid Start Technology, are required to use SSD for operation. Using SD Card The card slots are located at the bottom-right side of your notebook computer. To remove the card slot cover, please use a slot head screwdriver or a suitable sized coin.
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 Save Guard the Computer Plug the Kensington lock into the slot near the SSD module and lock it. Both the computer and SSD are secured. Note: ¾ Kensington lock is a widely available 3rd party product.

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: z Windows battery low warning (when operating system is Windows). z The battery charger LED flashes. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please: z Save and close the files you are currently working on.
Managing Power Battery Power Saving Tips The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by: z Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options). z Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control. z Use standby option when computer is temporarily not in use. z Shut down the computer when it will not be for a long-time 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.
