uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult

your service representative or local power company.

• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong

is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a

compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by

its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load

of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power sup-

plies (i.e. AC/DC adapter or car adapter).

Do not plug in the power

cord if you are wet. Do not use the power cord if

it is broken. Do not place heavy objects

on the power cord.



Power Safety

Warning

any upgrade proce-

dures, make sure that

you have turned off the

power, and discon-

nected all peripherals

and cables (including

telephone lines). It is

advisable to also re-

move your battery in

Preface

Battery Precautions

• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.

• Do not remove any batteries from the computer while it is powered on.

• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even

if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly

result in fire.

• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.

• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qual-

ified service personnel.

• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries

may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.

• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.

• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.

• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.



Battery Disposal & Caution

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life,

under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with

your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

VIII

Preface

Cleaning

Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer; use a soft clean cloth.

Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the

computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the

power supply. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:

• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.

• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other liquids.

• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.

• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).



Removal Warning

When removing any cover(s) and screw(s) for the purposes of device upgrade, remember to replace the cover(s) and

screw(s) before turning the computer on.

Preface

Travel Considerations

Packing

As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged.

2. Power off the computer and peripherals.

3. Close the display panel and make sure it’s latched.

4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag.

5. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you won’t need a second voltage adapter. However,

check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters.

6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag’s straps.

7. If you’re taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices’ adapters

and/or cables.

8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hard-

ware and software. Make sure your documents are prepared.



Power Off Before Traveling

Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a

notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) to be blocked. To prevent your

computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) while the computer is in use.

Preface

On the Road

In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshooting,

keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook - For security, don’t let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is very

common. Don’t check it with normal luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knock-

ing the computer against hard objects.

Beware of Electromagnetic fields - Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray machines can damage the com-

puter, hard disk, floppy disks, and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and

disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to turn it on). Note:

Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.

Fly safely - Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in flight.

These restrictions are for your safety, follow them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make

sure it’s secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.

Get power where you can - If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC/DC adapter and keep your battery(ies)

charged.

Keep it dry - If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the computer.

Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate.

Preface

Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time.

Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or

other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain:

• Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the

level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.

• Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on

a footrest if necessary.

• Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.

• Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles

when you are working.

• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.

Remember to:

• Alter your posture frequently.

• Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.

• Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent

and short breaks are better than fewer and longer breaks.

XII

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and

shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.

• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.

• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.

LCD Screen Care

To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for

an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

• Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idle time.

• Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long).

• Rotate desktop background images every few days.

• Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.

Power Management

Overview 3 - 1

Chapter 3: Power Management

Overview

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer power man-

agement conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer

(the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. This chapter covers:

• The Power Sources

• Turning on the Computer

• Power Plans

• Power-Saving States

• Configuring the Power Buttons

• Battery Information

The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating system

(OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For

example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user set-

tings and information from applications.



OS Note

Power management

functions will vary slight-

ly depending on your

operating system. For

more information it is

best to refer to the user’s

manual of your operat-

ing system.

(Note: All pictures used

on the following pages

are from the Windows

Vista OS.)

Power Management

3 - 2 The Power Sources

The Power Sources

The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.

AC/DC Adapter

Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/

DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.

1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack on the left of the computer.

2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the

AC/DC adapter.

3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.

4. Press the power button to turn “On”.

Battery

The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an

electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and

the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge

completely before recharging (see “How do I completely discharge the battery?”

on page 3 - 14).

We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the bat-

tery, please refer to “Battery Information” on page 3 - 10.

Power Management

Turning on the Computer 3 - 3

Turning on the Computer

Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the pow-

er button on the front panel.

When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-

key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power

button for longer than this will force the computer to shut down). Use Power Op-

tions (Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista to configure

this feature.



Shut Down

Note that you should al-

ways shut your comput-

er down by choosing the

Shut Down command

from the Lock Button

Menu in Windows Vis-

ta. This will help prevent

hard disk or system

problems.



Forced Off

If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the pow-

er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.

Power Button Sleep

Sleep is the default power mode when the power button is pressed for less than 4 seconds.

You may configure the options for the power button from the Power Options (Hardware

and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OS’s documentation, or

“Configuring the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 8 for details).

Power Management

3 - 4 Power Plans

Power Plans

The computer can be configured to conserve power by means of power plans. You

can use (or modify) an existing power plan, or create a new one.

The settings may be adjusted to set the display to turn off after a specified time, and

to send the computer into Sleep after a period of inactivity.

Click Change plan settings and then click Change advanced power settings to ac-

cess further configuration options in Advanced Settings.



Resuming

Operation

See Table 3 - 1, on

page 3 - 9 for informa-

tion on how to resume

Power Management

Power Plans3-5

Each Windows power plan will also adjust the processor performance of your ma-

chine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing

any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).

Choose High performance for maximum performance when the computer is pow-

ered from an AC power source. Choose the Power saver (bear in mind that this

scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer in order to save

power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) pow-

ered.

Power Plans

Power Management

3 - 6 Power-Saving States

Power-Saving States

You can use power-saving states to stop the computer’s operation and restart where

you left off. Sleep is the default power-saving state in Windows Vista.

Earlier versions of Windows used Stand By and Hibernate as system power-saving

states. Windows Vista combines the features of Stand By and Hibernate into the de-

fault Sleep power-saving state.

Sleep

In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before the

system sleeps. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time,

which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep to save power.

The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you last left

off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you

last used.

If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only a

minimum amount of power. After an extended period the system will save all the

information to the hard disk and shut the computer down before the battery becomes

depleted.



Power Button

The Power Button

in the Start Menu (in

Classic View use the

Shut Down button )

can be used to send the

computer into a power-

saving state.

Sleep Mode &

Mobile PC Battery

A mobile PC in Sleep

uses very little battery

power.

After an extended peri-

od of time the computer

will save any open docu-

ments and applications

to hard disk.

Power Management

Power-Saving States 3 - 7

Hibernate

Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves

all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a

power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power

failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost. Hi-

bernate will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should

put your mobile PC into Hibernate if you will not use the computer for a period of

time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery.

Shut Down

You should shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware (don’t for-

get to remove the battery and follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 6), plan

to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and

run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from shut down takes longer than

from Sleep or Hibernate.



Silent Mode

You can use Silent

Mode to reduce power

consumption and fan

noise.

Use the Silent Mode

hot key to toggle this

mode on/off.

Battery Life

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life

and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least

once every 30 days.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you do need to re-

move the battery for any reason see “Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3.

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see “Battery FAQ”

on page 3 - 14 for instructions on how to do this).

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and

plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will

take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is turned off but

plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to “- LED Status

Indicators” on page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to “Bat-

tery Information” on page 3 - 10 for more information on how to maintain and

properly recharge the battery pack.)

Power Management

Battery Information 3 - 13

Proper handling of the Battery Pack

• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances

• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode

• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other



Caution

Danger of explosion if

battery is incorrectly re-

placed.

Drivers & Utilities

What to Install 4 - 1

Chapter 4: Drivers & Utilities

This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utili-

ties essential to the operation or improvement of some

of the computer’s subsystems. The system takes ad-

vantage of some newer hardware components for

which the latest versions of most available operating

systems haven’t built in drivers and utilities. Thus,

some of the system components won’t be auto-config-

ured with an appropriate driver or utility during oper-

ating system installation. Instead, you need to

manually install some system-required drivers and

utilities.

What to Install

The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-

ROM (Win Vista) contains the drivers and utilities

necessary for the proper operation of the computer.

Table , on page 4 - 3 lists what you need to install and

it is very important that the drivers are installed in

the order indicated (see “Driver Installation” on

page D - 27 for Windows XP information).

Module Driver Installation

The procedures for installing drivers for the Finger-

print, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, PC Camera, TPM

and 3.5G modules are provided in “Modules & Op-

tions” on page 7 - 1.

BIOS Utilities

Overview 5 - 1

Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software:

Diagnostics: The POST (Power-On Self Test)

Configuration: The Setup utility

If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes to the

system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first and note the

original settings found in Setup. Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the set-

tings you find and any changes you make. This information could be useful if your

system ever needs servicing.

There is one general rule: Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of what you

are doing. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing them could

cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, consult your service

representative.

5 - 2 The Power-On Self Test (POST)

The Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a

POST, including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory).

As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there

is a problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary

and prompt you to run Setup.

If there are no problems, the Setup prompt will disappear and the system will load

the operating system. Once that starts, you can’t get into Setup without rebooting.

Failing the POST

Errors can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, “fatal” and “non-

fatal”.

Fatal Errors

These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously wrong

with your system. Take the computer to your service representative or authorized

service center as soon as possible.

Non-Fatal Errors

This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the

problem (make a note of this message!) followed by the prompt:

• Press <F1> to resume

• <F2> to enter Setup

Press F1 to see if the boot process can continue. It may work, without the correct

configuration.

Press F2 to run the Setup program and try to correct the problem. If you still get an

error message after you change the setting, or if the “cure” seems even worse, call

for help.

The Setup Program

The Phoenix Setup program tells the system how to configure itself and manage ba-

sic features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).

Entering Setup

To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 during the POST. The prompt

(Press F2 to Enter Setup) seen on page 5 - 2 is usually present for a few seconds

after you turn on the system. If you get a “Keyboard Error”, (usually because you

pressed F2 too quickly) just press F2 again.

If the computer is already on, reboot using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and

then hold down F2 when prompted. The Setup main menu will appear.

your computer, depending on the configuration purchased. If you are unsure please

contact your service representative.

• Fingerprint Reader Module

• Bluetooth Module

• Wireless LAN Module

• PC Camera Module

• Trusted Platform Module

The use of any portable

electronic transmission

devices aboard aircraft

is usually prohibited.

Make sure the mod-

ule(s) are OFF if you are

Important Notice

If your purchase option includes both Wireless LAN and 3.5G modules, then the appropri-

ate antennas will be installed. Note that In order to comply with FCC RF exposure compli-

ance requirements, the antenna must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

Modules & Options

7 - 2 Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM)

Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM)

The encrypted channel between the Trusted Platform Module security chip and

the optional fingerprint reader with Protector Suite Software provides a high

level of security for your computer. A further level of security and control is provid-

ed in the BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 10).

The fingerprint reader and Protector Suite Software allow you to:

• Access or Lock your computer

• Protect sensitive files

• Display and file your favorite web pages

• Fill in frequently used dialogs

• Run your favorite applications

The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user

and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within

large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a sys-

tem administrator before users can access security features.

Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader.

See overleaf for information installing and configuring the Protector Suite Soft-

ware, and see “Trusted Platform Module” on page 7 - 25 for information on TPM.



Password Warning

If you set passwords for

any of the security mod-

ules, NEVER forget your

password.

The consequences of

this could be serious. If

you cannot remember

your boot password you

must contact your ven-

dor and you may lose all

of the information on
