Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power is turned
OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport. Therefore, you should not transport
the Notebook PC while the power is still ON. Close the display panel and check that it is latched securely
in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display panel.
CAUTION: The Notebook PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be
careful not to rub or scrape the Notebook PC surfaces.
Cover Your Notebook PC
Purchase a carrying bag to protect the Notebook PC from dirt, water, shock, and scratches.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery
packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as
it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge
the battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most airlines will have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only between and not during
takeoffs and landings.
CAUTION! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines
(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking
through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or
individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through airport X-ray
machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC or
diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

Checking Battery Power
The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under
the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately
report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery
pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But

features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size,
and the size of the display panel.
To check the remaining battery power, move your cursor over the
power icon. The power icon is a “battery” when not using AC power

more information and settings.
Move your mouse over the battery icon
for remaining power information.
When the AC power is connected,
charging status will be shown.
NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you
continue to ignore the low battery warnings, the Notebook PC
eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).
Note: Screen captures shown here
are examples only and may not reÁHFWZKDW\RXVHHLQ\RXUV\VWHP
Right-click the battery icon for
sub-menus.
Left-click the battery icon for power
management settings.
WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted.
Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of
power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power
supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack
begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power adapter.
)XOO\FKDUJHWKHEDWWHU\SDFNEHIRUHXVLQJLWIRUWKHÀUVWWLPH$QHZEDWWHU\SDFNPXVWFRPSOHWHO\FKDUJH
before the Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the
battery when the Notebook PC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is
turned ON. The battery charge light turns OFF when the battery pack is charged.
NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage
is too high.
WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge
over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three
months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.

Getting Started
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system,
you may be prompted to restart the system. Some
installation processes will provide a dialog box to
allow restart. To restart the system manually, click
Windows Start button and select Shut Down and
then choose Restart.
(Screens are different depending on security settings.)
Powering OFF
In Windows XP, power OFF the Notebook PC
by clicking Windows Start button and select Shut
Down and then choose Turn off (or Shut down).
For operating systems without proper power management (DOS, Windows NT), you must close all
applications and exit operating systems and then power OFF by holding the power switch for 2 seconds
(as opposed to 1 second to power ON). Holding the power switch for 2 seconds is necessary in order to
prevent accidental power-OFFs.
IMPORTANT! To protect the hard drive, wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your
Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
Emergency Shutdown
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, hold the power button
seconds to shutdown your Notebook PC.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (on selected models)
The TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a security hardware device on the system board that will hold
computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that an help avoid attacks by
hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the ability to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication
more trustworthy.
The security features provided by the TPM are internally supported by the following cryptographic capabilities of each TPM: hashing, random number generation, asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric
encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM on each individual computer system has a unique signature
initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness.
Each individual TPM must have an Owner before it is useful as a security device.
TPM Applications
TPM is useful for any customer that is interested in providing an addition layer of security to the computer system. The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can provide overall
