Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
computer.
When Using Your Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an extended
period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With
extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base.
Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort
or, eventually, a burn.
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.

To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and
and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this
this product during an electrical storm.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local authorities for disposal instructions.
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put
your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your
computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked
by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are
asked to turn on the computer.
When traveling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap
the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you
have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the
computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security
machine, but never put the drive through a metal detector.
When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead storage
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer
or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
When you move your computer between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form
on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow
sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
NOTICE: When taking the computer from low-temperature
conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature
conditions into a cooler environment, allow the computer to
acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief
relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it
evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you
connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power
source, and remove the battery.
Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory
module by its edges, not its pins.
CAUTION: When using your telephone equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical

The BIOS Setup Program
Introduction
Navigating through the BIOS Setup Program

The Information Menu
The Exit Menu
Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu
driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system
configuration and tailor the operation of your Notebook to your individual
individual work needs. 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.

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.

System Devices Use this menu to enable and make changes to the
advanced features available on your system.
Security Use this menu to set System and Boot passwords.
Boot Use this menu to specify the order in which the
Notebook is to check for a device to boot the
system.
Info This menu lists hardware information about your
system. The items cannot be modified.
Exit Use this menu to specify how to exit the Setup
program.
To move between menu bar items, use the [ ] and [ ] arrow keys
until the desired item is highlighted. For example, if you want to move
from the Main menu to the System Devices menu, press the right arrow
key [ ] once. The System Devices menu item should now be
highlighted.
The Legend Bar
At the bottom of the Setup screen, you will notice a legend bar. The
keys in the legend bar allow you to navigate through the various
individual setup menus. The following table lists the keys found in the
legend bar with their corresponding functions:
Legend Key Function
[Fl] or [Alt] +
[H] Displays the General Help window.
[Esc] Exits the current menu and moves you to the Exit
menu.
[ ] or [ ] Selects a different menu bar item.
[ ] or [ ] Moves the cursor up and down between fields.
[F5] / [-] Scrolls backwards through the values for the

[F6] / [+] /
[Space]
Scrolls forward through the values for the
highlighted field.
[F9] Sets the parameters to their default values.
[Fl0] Saves any changes and exits Setup.
[Enter] Executes commands or selects a submenu.

A submenu contains additional options for a field parameter. To call up
a submenu, simply move the highlight to the desired field and press the

keys to enter values and move from field to field within a submenu just
as you would within a menu.
If you are a first time user or are not familiar with BIOS Setup programs,

familiarize yourself with each of the legend keys and their corresponding
corresponding functions. Practice navigating through the various menus

documents that came with your card if the orientation is unclear.
1. Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the
top side of the card facing up. The push-button latch may need to be in
before inserting the card.
2. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector.
3. If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the
card orientation and try again.

balance between your computing performance and power consumption
needs. Higher speeds enjoy better performance, while slower speeds
conserve more power.
In Windows XP, the processor's performance level depends on the
Power Scheme you select (see Power Options Properties, section
6.1.3). You do not need to make any further adjustments to set the
performance level. Each preset power scheme has different time-out
settings for entering standby mode, hibernate mode, turning off the
display, and turning off the hard drive. For example, the
Portable/Laptop mode automatically changes SpeedStep modes
depending on if you are running the computer on AC power or batteries
in order to prolong battery usage while still providing optimal
performance. You can also individually alter and save each of these
settings and schemes if desired.

Battery Performance
Using a battery lets you work with your notebook without connecting it
to an electrical outlet. Your notebook comes with one 8-cell Li-Ion
battery pack installed, which will give you more than 300
charging/discharging cycles.
The performance of the battery can vary, depending on operating
conditions. Your battery may last less time if you are running power-
intensive programs, playing CDs or DVDs, using PC cards or have high
high display-brightness settings.
The Power Management Options can be set to alert you when the
battery charge is low.
Ensure any battery you use is compatible. Failure to do so may risk fire
or explosion. For more details on purchasing compatible batteries, talk
to your notebook retailer.
Batteries should never be disposed of with household waste. Contact
your local waste disposal or environmental agency for advice on
disposing of used lithium-ion batteries.
