Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire or explosion. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source. - 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan. - 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan. - 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

A ROM-based configuration utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in nonvolatile battery backed backed-up CMOS RAM, which saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the computer is turned back on, the system is is configured with the values found in CMOS. Using easy-to-use menus, menus, you can configure such items as: Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals Video display options Password protection from unauthorized use Boot devices The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how the Notebook performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all all the available options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the Notebook. This chapter will guide you through the Setup program by providing clear explanations for all Setup options. A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup program by the factory technicians, so you will very likely have little to worry about for now. However, eventually you may want to customize your system to to suit your own performance needs. It is recommended that you read this chapter and become familiar with the adjustments that can be made made in the BIOS. The next section explains how to move around in the Setup program, as as well as how to specify and save your new settings. A brief discussion discussion of the optional settings among the different submenus follows. The BIOS Setup Program 第 2 頁,共 16 頁 Top Navigating through the BIOS Setup Program The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu driven program, which means you can scroll through the various directories and make your selections among the various predetermined choices. If you accidentally make a setting and do not know which one to switch back to, use the BIOS hot keys to return to the previous value. The hot keys are discussed in more detail later in this chapter. When turning on the Notebook for the first time you may get a message message prompting you to run the BIOS Setup program. A warning message may appear on the screen if the hardware configuration is changed or the POST fails. This message will inform you of any errors or invalid settings and prompt you to run the Setup program to correct the problem. Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want to make changes to the display option settings or enable the Notebook's password function for security purposes. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes. The list below gives a few examples of reasons why you may want or need to run the BIOS Setup program. You have set up the computer for the first time and you got a message stating that you should run the BIOS Setup program. You want to redefine the communication ports to prevent any conflicts. You want to change the password or make other changes to the security setup. The few examples listed above are by no means a complete list.

Top Working With Extra Battery Packs If you spend a lot of time traveling, working without connecting your notebook to an electrical outlet, it may be a good idea to carry additional additional battery packs so you can quickly replace a discharged battery battery and continue working. Top Maximizing Battery Life A battery can be recharged many times, but over time it will lose its ability to hold a charge. To maximize battery life: Don't leave your notebook plugged in and unused for more than a few few hours. Overcharging may shorten battery life. If you will not be using your notebook for a long period, remove the battery. If you have a spare battery pack, alternate the batteries. Ensure your notebook is off when replacing the battery. Store spare battery packs in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
