Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions will increase the life of the Eee
PC. Follow all precautions and instructions. Except as described in
this manual, refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not use
damaged power cords, accessories, or other peripherals. Do not use
strong solvents such as thinners, benzene, or other chemicals on or
near the surface.
DO NOT leave the Eee PC on
your lap or any part of the
body to prevent discomfort
or injury from heat exposure.
DO NOT expose to dirty or
dusty environments. DO NOT
operate during a gas leak.
DO NOT expose to strong
magnetic or electrical fields.
DO NOT expose to or
use near liquids, rain, or
moisture. DO NOT use the
modem during electrical
storms.
DO NOT place together with
small items that may scratch
or enter the Eee PC.
DO NOT place on uneven or
unstable work surfaces. Seek
servicing if the casing has
been damaged.
DO NOT place or drop
objects on top and do not
shove any foreign objects
into the Eee PC.
Disconnect the AC power before cleaning. Wipe the Eee PC
using a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with
a solution of nonabrasive detergent and a few drops of warm
water and remove any extra moisture with a dry cloth.
SAFE TEMP: This Eee PC
should only be used in
environments with ambient
temperatures between 5°C
(41°F) and 35°C (95°F)

Table of Contents
INPUT RATING: Refer to the
rating label on the bottom
of the Eee PC and be sure
that your power adapter
complies with the rating.
DO NOT carry or cover a
Eee PC that is powered ON
with any materials that will
reduce air circulation such
as a carrying bag.
DO NOT throw the Eee PC in municipal waste. This product
has been designed to enable proper reuse of parts and
recycling. The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin
indicates that the product (electrical, electronic equipment
and mercury-containing button cell battery) should not
be placed in municipal waste. Check local regulations for
disposal of electronic products.
DO NOT throw the battery in municipal waste. The symbol
of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the battery
should not be placed in municipal waste.
Transportation Precautions
To prepare your Eee 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 your Eee PC
while the power is still ON. Close the display panel to protect the
keyboard and display panel.
The Eee PC’s surface is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be
careful not to rub or scrape surfaces when transporting your Eee PC.
You can put your Eee PC in a carrying case for protection from dirt,
water, shock, and scratches.
ASUS Eee PC
vii
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your
battery pack 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 Eee PC is in use.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before first
use to prolong battery life. The battery reaches its maximum capacity
after a few full charging and discharging cycles.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Eee PC on the airplane.
Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most
airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs
and landings.
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 Eee PC and diskettes
through airport X-ray machines. However, it is recommended
that you do not send your Eee PC or diskettes through airport
magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to
meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the
nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only
the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to

Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst
case maximum authorized power indoors are:
• 10mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz–2483.5 MHz)
• 100mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 2483.5 MHz
Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6
MHz to 2483.5 MHz.
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private property or on
the private property of public persons, use is subject to a preliminary
authorization procedure by the Ministry of Defense, with maximum
authorized power of 100mW in the 2446.5–2483.5 MHz band. Use
outdoors on public property is not permitted.
In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band:
• Maximum authorized power indoors is 100mW
