Transportation Precautions
To prepare the UltraMobilePC 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 UltraMobilePC while the power is still ON.
Cover Your UltraMobilePC
You can purchase an optional carrying case to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and
scratches.
CAUTION: The UltraMobilePC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly
cared for. Be careful not to rub or scrape the UltraMobilePC surfaces when
transporting your UltraMobilePC.
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 UltraMobilePC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the UltraMobilePC 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 UltraMobilePC and diskettes through airport X-ray
machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your UltraMobilePC or
diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

Power System
Using AC Power
The UltraMobilePC power is comprised of
two parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system. The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power
required by the UltraMobilePC. Your UltraMobilePC comes with a universal AC-DC
adapter. That means that you may connect
the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as
220V-240V outlets without setting switches
or using power converters. Different countries
may require 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 support 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 UltraMobilePC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to
an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Ultra0RELOH3&&RQQHFWLQJWKH$&'&DGDSWHUWRWKH$&RXWOHWÀUVWDOORZV\RXWRWHVWWKH$&
outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting
the DC power to the UltraMobilePC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will
light if the power is within accepted ranges.
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the UltraMobilePC or use the UltraMobilePC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is
smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your
battery pack(s) and the UltraMobilePC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This UltraMobilePC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the UltraMobilePC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
24
UltraMobilePC
Using Battery Power
The UltraMobilePC 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 retailer.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your UltraMobilePC may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your UltraMobilePC does
not have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.
IMPORTANT! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the UltraMobilePC is
turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working data.

The Power-On Self Test (POST)
:KHQ\RXWXUQ21WKH8OWUD0RELOH3&LWZLOOÀUVWUXQWKURXJKDVHULHVRIVRIWZDUHFRQWUROOHG
diagnostic tests called the Power-On Self Test (POST). The software that controls the POST
is installed as a permanent part of the UltraMobilePC’s architecture. The POST includes a
UHFRUGRIWKH8OWUD0RELOH3&·VKDUGZDUHFRQÀJXUDWLRQZKLFKLVXVHGWRPDNHDGLDJQRVWLF
check of the system. This record is created by using the BIOS Setup program. If the POST
discovers a difference between the record and the existing hardware, it will display a mesVDJHRQWKHVFUHHQSURPSWLQJ\RXWRFRUUHFWWKHFRQÁLFWE\UXQQLQJ%,266HWXS,QPRVW

not preloaded with an operating system. This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected
and ready for the installation of a new operating system.
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) checks the hard disk drive
during POST and gives a warning message if the hard disk drive requires servicing. If any
critical hard disk drive warning is given during bootup, backup your data immediately and
run Windows disk checking program. To run Window’s disk checking program: (1) rightclick any hard disk drive icon in “My Computer”, (2) choose Properties, (3) click the Tools
tab, (4) click Check Now, (5) select a hard disk drive, (6) select Thorough to also check for
physical damages, and (7) click Start. Third party disk utilities such as Symantec’s Norton
Disk Doctor can also perform the same functions but with greater ease and more features.
IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk
checking utility, you should take your UltraMobilePC in for servicing. Continued use
may result in data loss.

SRZHUXVLQJWKHSRZHUDGDSWHU)XOO\FKDUJHWKHEDWWHU\SDFNEHIRUHXVLQJLWIRUWKHÀUVWWLPH
A new battery pack must completely charge before the UltraMobilePC is disconnected from
external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the UltraMobilePC is
turned OFF and may take twice the time when the UltraMobilePC is turned ON. The battery
status indicator on the UltraMobilePC 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. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function. If the battery calibration process fails, stop charging and contact an authorized service center.
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.

Power Management Modes
The UltraMobilePC 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.
Sleep and Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows >
Control Panel > Power Options. In System Settings, you can

saves power when your UltraMobilePC 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.
Sleep 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. Click the Start button and the arrowhead next
to the lock icon to see this option. (NOTE: The power indicator
will blink in this mode.)
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and 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

the Start button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. Recover by pressing
the power button. (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode.)
Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the UltraMobilePC’s thermal state. These powHUFRQWUROFDQQRWEHFRQÀJXUHGE\WKHXVHUDQGVKRXOGEHNQRZQLQFDVHWKH8OWUD0RELOH3&VKRXOG
enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).
•
The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.
•
The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the
safe upper limit.
•
The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum
safe upper limit.

Connections
Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the
UltraMobilePC 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 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.
10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this UltraMobilePC 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
7KHFDEOHXVHGWRFRQQHFWWKH(WKHUQHWFDUGWRDKRVW JHQHUDOO\D+XERU6ZLWFK 
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.)
