In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system. A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.

To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below: 1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode. 22. Turn the notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged. 23. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter. 24. The battery pack is now calibrated properly. In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status.

65 Troubleshooting Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations and/or mishandling may cause problems. This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting common hardware and software problems that you may encounter. When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through the recommendations in this chapter. Instead of returning the computer and waiting for repair, you may easily solve the problems by considering the following scenarios and possible solutions. If the error continues, contact your reseller for service information. Before taking further actions, consider the following suggestions: Check to see if the problem persists when all the external devices are removed. Check to see that the blue light indicator on the AC adapter is lit. Check to see the power cord is properly plugged to the wall outlet and to the computer. Check to see the power indicator of the computer is on. Check to see if your keyboard is operational by pressing and holding any key. Check for any incorrect or loose cable connections. Make sure the latches on the connectors latch securely on to the receptor end. Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the hardware devices in the BIOS Setup utility. A faulty setting may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults.

66 Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For example, without the audio driver properly installed, the speakers and microphone will not work. If external devices such as USB cameras, scanner, printer do not function correctly when connected to the system, it is usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s manufacturer first. Some software programs, which have not gone through rigorous coding and testing, may cause problems during your routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving. Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need to restart the system with these devices powered up and connected first. Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING after BIOS re-flash.
