This manual will help you get the most from your computer.
If you are a less experienced user, you should read through
the manual carefully before using your computer.
Important Things to Remember Before Working on Your
Computer
Let your Computer acclimatize itself
Rapid changes in temperature such as those from the cold outdoors to a
warm office would not be suitable for your system.
Do not power up your system immediately if it has been
exposed to hot or cold conditions. Instead, allow the system
to adjust gradually to room temperature over a three to four
hour period.
Placement of your Computer
Choose a suitable place for your system that’s not too hot, too cold, too
dark, or too bright. Glare can make it difficult to read the screen.
Allow sufficient air circulation around the computer when you are
working indoors
Try to keep the system components from being destroyed if it is over
heated
Do not block the ventilation opening
3
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well under most conditions but avoid extreme
temperatures and humidity levels.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things
like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil.
A lithium-ion battery pack is included for those who are
frequent travelers. When you are running your computer on
battery power for the first time, remove the battery from the
package, install it into the system and recharge the battery
to fully prepare for service.

status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Very Low” status
the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge left. You must
save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may
lose your data.
Beeping accelerates - Battery Very Low: Indicates that there are 1 to
2 minutes of battery charge left. Save your work and turn off the
computer or connect the AC adapter.
When there is only one minute of battery charge left, the computer will
suspend to the HDD and power off. Connect AC power and resume
your work.
Small Battery for the Real Time Clock
