1 Introducing the Notebook PC
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.
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 restric-
tions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only between and not during
takeoffs and landings.
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripher-
als 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.

that an adapter be used to connect the provided
US-standard AC power cord to a different standard.
Most hotels will provide universal outlets to sup-
port different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC
outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.

is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life
of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery
pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have a
shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.
Using Battery Power
The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set
of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which
can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery
packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Notebook PC may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your Notebook PC does not have
its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.

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).
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).
Right-click the battery icon for
sub-menus. Left-click the battery icon for power
management settings.

Move your mouse over the battery icon
for remaining power information.
When the AC power is connected,
charging status will be shown.
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.
NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage
is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function. If the battery calibration
process fails, stop charging and contact an authorized service center.
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

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.

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.

4 Using the Notebook PC
NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After
purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as an expansion card.
CAUTION: For electrical safety concerns, only use telephone cables rated 26AWG or
higher. (see Glossary for more information)
NOTE: When you are connected to an online service, do not place the Notebook PC
in suspend (or sleep mode) or else you will disconnect the modem connection.
Connections
Example of the Notebook PC connected to a telephone jack for use with the built-in modem:
Modem Connection
The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC’s internal modem should have
either two or four wires (only two wires (telephone line #1) is used by the modem) and
should have an RJ-11 connector on both ends. Connect one end to the modem port and
the other end to an analog telephone wall socket (the ones found in residential buildings).
Once the driver is setup, the modem is ready to use.

Using the Notebook PC 4
WARNING! Only use analog telephone outlets. The built-in modem does not support
the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone
systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!
Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in
Ethernet controller.
Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note-
book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network
cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the
interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4

on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled. The
software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.
1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch)
is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are
called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors.
If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN
cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so
a crossover LAN cable is optional.)

Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to
maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features
through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the
operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible
by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full
operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as “Stand by” (or Suspend-to-RAM) and

4 Using the Notebook PC
“Stand by” is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This
function stores your current data and status in RAM while
many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile,
it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. To operate: select
“Start” | “Shut down”, and “Stand by”.
“Hibernate” LV WKH VDPH DV  6XVSHQGWR'LVN 67' DQG
stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By
doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed
and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely
eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN
needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more power
compared to “Stand by”. To operate: Enable hibernation
in “Power Options” and select “Start” | “Shut down”, and
“Hibernate”.
Stand by and Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows control panel. The following shows the power

pressing the power button, or activating sleep mode. “Stand by” and “Hibernate” saves power when
your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work, your
last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you
never left. “Shut down” will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not
saved.

optically safe, requiring no controls (Class 1) to very hazardous, requiring strict controls (Class 4).
CLASS 1: A Class 1 laser or laser system emits levels of optical energy that are eye-safe and consequently
require no controls. An example of this class of laser system is the checkout scanning device found
in most grocery stores or lasers used in optical drives.
CLASS 2 & CLASS 3A: Class 2 and Class 3A lasers emit visible, continuous-wave (CW) optical ra-
diation levels slightly above the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level. Although these lasers
can cause eye damage, their brightness usually causes observers to look away or blink before eye
damage occurs. These lasers have strict administrative controls requiring placement of signs warning
personnel not to stare directly into the beam. Class 3A lasers must not be viewed with optically-aided
devices.
CLASS 3B: Class 3B lasers, and Class 3A lasers with outputs of 2.5mW, are hazardous to personnel

tive and physical controls to protect personnel. Physical controls include limited access work areas.
Administrative controls include special warning signs posted outside the entrances to the laser work
spaces and lights outside the entrances that warn personnel when the lasers are in use.
CLASS 4: Class 4 lasers are high-power lasers that will cause damage to unprotected eyes and skin

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) (on selected models)
The TPM is a security hardware device on the system board that will hold computer-generated keys for
encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that can 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
PC to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy.
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straight-
through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not
compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in
between, a crossover twisted-pair is required.
