damaged by exposure to intense sunlight, which builds up excessive
heat inside the display enclosure. Only exposure to indirect or
subdued sunlight is recommended.

There is one fan on the leﬁ side of the notebook, it will turn on when you power up the
notebook. The fan will turn off when the notebook enters Suspend or Saveeto-RAM (SZR)
modes. When you wake-up from either Suspend or SZR the fan will turn on again.
Warning: If the temperahue oontinues to rise above the CPU allowable limit,
either due to defect fan or the notebook is operated in a too hot
environment or a soﬂ surface that covers the ventilation holes. Then
the notebook will enter Save—to-disk mode (S2D). If there is no

Chapter 4 Smartbays
When you bought your notebook, you probably only got a FDD and a CD-ROM, but there
are many ways to enhance and personalize your notebook with the smarlbays. lfyou travel a
lot and need all the battery life you can get, a 2“ battery makes sense, If you do a lot of
presentations, or need to save large amounts of data a LS-120 or a ZIP would be very handy,
a 2m1 HDD would give you even higher capacity and much faster speeds.
4.1 FDD bay
The FDD module is easily replaced
with another module. Currently
these modules are available.
0 FDD drive 1,44MB (3 mode)
- ZIP drive 100MB capacity
- LS-lZO drive 120MB capacity
~ 2” Battery Doubles your battery life
0 2” HDD Standard 25" HDD with several GB capacity (17mm high max)
For more information about these optional devices see Chapter 8.
Special Attention:
To avoid your SmartBay accessories, such as the battery, CD-ROM and FDD from
being removed easily during traveling, we advise you to put on the screws on the locks
found at the bottom of the notebook so in this way the locks Won‘t move.
In case you would like to interchange your FDD with ZIP drive, please kindly remove
the screw of the lock for the FDD so you can remove the FDD from it's hay. Atter
interchanging the FDD, please don‘t forget to put the screw on the lock.
The screw for the battery's lock can be found on the giﬁ box packed together with this
manual.

4.3 Battery bay
The main battery can be exchanged with a higher capacity battery or a fully recharged
battery. There are two types of batteries available, Li—lon and Nl-MH. if you are concerned
about the weight of your notebook we recommend the Li-Ion battery since it's half the
weight ofthe Ni-Ml—L
You can replace the battery while power is on provided that either a secondary battery is
(in the FD!) bay. see Chapter 4.1) or the ACT-adapter is plugged in.

Chapter 5 Batteries
5.1 Different kind of batteries
_________.___-—-——-————-———
Your notebook can be equipped with two kinds of batteries, Li-lon and Ni—MH. The
capacity of these batteries are almost the same, while the Li-lon battery is much lighter and
much more expensive. Both batteries have the same external size and can be used either as
primary or secondary battery in your notebook. The battery pack is proprietary, so if you
need to buy more batteries you can only buy batteries of the same kind.
5.2 Recharging the batteries
________._.___—-.—-———-——————-—
1. For best battery charging performance, make sure the battery pack is fully discharged
prior to charging.
2. The battery shall start to charge either main , or second battery is installed while AC
adapter is already in connection, or the battery shall start to charge whenever AC
adapter is plugged in while either main-or second battery is already installed. If both
are present, charging main battery takes precedence over charging the second battery.
3. No change of charging priority during uninterrupted charging time and until main — or
second battery achieves Battery-Full detection .
4. Please check the charging icon for understanding the battery charging condition . The
charging icon will stay on if the battery is in charging state and will disappear if the
battery is in fully charged state,
5.3 Battery maintenance
____________.._—-——-——————————'—
To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, occasionally you should let the Notebook
deplete its DC power completely before the battery is recharged. To carry out a complete
depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your Notebook use up the
remaining battery energy. When the battery is empty wait for the Notebook to cool down,
especially the battery temperature should be under 25°C, and insert the AC adapter to
charge the battery.

5,5 The Best Battery Life for Storage
Storage Temperature & Humidity
Storage outside the speciﬁed temperature range or in extremely high humidity may
accelerate deterioration of battery materials. cause leakage or corrosion of metal parts of
battery
Long Storage (more than 3 months)
In case of long storage, the battery must be charged at 30-50% to save a loss by self-
discharge and avoid deterioration of battery performance The battery voltage decreases
faster for long storage at discharge condition. When the battery voltage is below 1.5V/cell,
the capacity will decrease extremely even aﬁer re-charge, On the other hand, storage at
100% charged condition causes bigger self-discharge and deterioration of discharge
capacity even aﬂer rte—charge comparing to storage at 30-50% charge condition.
5, 6 Power consumption
________—.———————-—-—-———
The Notebook‘s power use the OP. (Constant Power) management, When the system turn
off. the system power will used 35 Watt for the full charge mode, When the system turn on,
the power will support system power and charger power at maximum 48 Watts.
5. 7 Reducing power consumption
Although power conservation is a built-in function in your Notebook, there are measures
you can take to reduce the power consumption:
' Use AC power whenever possible.
' Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight, A very bright screen translates to higher
power usage.
' Try to use the HDD, to read and write ﬁles rather than using the FDD.
' Don‘t use "screensavers" since these use a lot of the CPU power, a blank screen is much
better

5.8 Battery LED and Alarm
__________.__._-——-———————-
When only 10 minutes battery life remains the notebook will make a battery low alarm, this
can be turned off by pressing Fn + B. During these 10 minutes you can either insert a new
fully recharged battery in the FDD bay (secondary battery) or plug in me AC-adapter. If you
fail to do so within these 10 minutes the notebook will save your data to the HDD (the HDD
needs to be prepared for this ﬁrst, see Chapter 3) to prevent data loss. Next time you turn on
the notebook you will start up where you left off.
5.9 Lithium Battery Disposal
__________..._..————-—-————-————'
Under the keyboard, between C and V keys is a small Lithium battery for CMOS backup,
this keeps track of the time and date. If the notebook looses the time and date this battery

Here you can connect an external monitor, like standard CRT monitors.
7. 2 USB port
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus; this is a new connector for keyboard, mouse, digital
camera, modern, joystick, printer etc. The USB port will replace the slower serial and
parallel puns. if you plan to buy a new device ask your dealer for their USB devices. you
can also see all devices available on the Internet: WM
7.3 Parallel port
Most printers are connected to the parallel port as well as some "pocket" devices like
network adapters. if you intend to copy ﬁles between computers using "Direct Cable
Connection" under Windows 95, the parallel port is much faster than the serial port
7.4 Game port
To the game port you can connect a joystick. game pads, ﬂight sticks and other game
devices.
7.5 Serial port
Here you can connect either an external modem or a serial mouse.
7. 6 PS/2 port
The PS/2 port can either connect 3 PS/2 mouse or a PS/2 keyboard. If your keyboard
connector is much larger than the P812 connector you can buy a transfer connector. There
are also many pocket adapters that require power from the P80 port, these devices usually
have a through port connector.

7. 7 Video ln/Out connectors
To the Video-In port you can connect a Video camera. VCR or another video signal. You
can use this video signal for videoconference. Your notebook supports both PAL and NTSC
signals, this is changed by soﬁware.
You can also connect the notebook to a TV or a video device via the Video-Out port, then
you can display the notebook screen on that device, like a large screen TV, The maximum
resolution on a TV is only 640x480.
7. 8 Audio connectors
There are three audio connectors; Microphone, Speaker and Line-in. Your notebook has got
a built-in microphone as well as two stereo speakers. It's very easy to connect your
notebook to your audio system at home where you probably have large powerful speakers,
this gives a whole new dimension to games, movies etc.
7. 9 IrDA interface
With the IrDA interface in your notebook you can connect to other notebooks and some
printers. Note that the IrDA in your notebook is FIR standard and can transfer up to 4MB/s,
while many other notebooks can only transfer lMB/s. The speciﬁcation of IrDA is one
meter further than that can cause transmission problems and slower speeds.
