THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR
COMPUTER
LET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it
doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold
outdoors to a warm office.
Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to
condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic
parts inside.
After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to
the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not
apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed
to come to room temperature.
HEAT, COLD, HUMIDITY, AND GLARE
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold,
too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
• Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed
if it is over heated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to
circulate around the case.
• Do not block the ventilation opening.
• Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
SUITABLE PLACE TO WORK
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the
computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam
and oil. 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.

Getting Started
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with
power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s
AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts,
covering the standard voltages available in almost every country.
The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded
AC outlet. To connect the computer to an external power source:
Do not use inferior extension cords as this
may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with
its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the
computer and other electrical devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the
Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
Never turn off or reset your Notebook while
the hard disk is in use and the CD-ROM status icon is lit; doing so
can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5
seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on;
turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the
Notebook’s electrical circuitry.
19
TURNING ON YOUR N OTEBOOK COMPUTER
Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button. Hold the
button down for a second or two and release. The Power-On Self
Test (POST) runs automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating
system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is
commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS
(Operating System such as Windows XP… . etc) is installed, it
should start automatically.
To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open
applications, click on Start, then Shut Down and select Shut
down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power button for
4-6 seconds.
OPERATING ON BATTERY POWER
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets
you operate the computer without an external power source.
When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the
computer under the following conditions:
•
•
•
The battery pack initially has a full charge.
No peripheral devices are installed.
The disk/CD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time.
Only use batteries that are approved by an
authorized dealer. All batteries are not the same and therefore
should not be treated as such. Using the wrong battery could cause
serious damage to your computer and yourself through toxic
emissions.
Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack
The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook
computer when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these
directions:
1. Turn over the notebook with the front of the unit facing you
and place it on a solid, flat surface.
2. Angle the battery into the bay. The front edge of the battery

A TOUR OF THE NOTEBOOK’S KEYBOARD
The Notebook’s keyboard uses a standard QWERTY layout with
the addition of special function keys and an embedded numeric
keypad for number intensive data entry. Your keyboard supports
Windows by incorporating the two Windows specific keys.
With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take
advantage of many of the timesaving features of Windows software.
The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve
different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the
application you are running.
The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right
corner of your keyboard) and the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End]
keys (which are located along the right edge of the keyboard) allow
you to move the active cursor of the computer to various locations
on the screen or within the document.
The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make
number intensive input more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key,
these keys are labeled in blue on the keycaps. Numeric
assignments are located at the upper right of each key.
When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will
appear in the System Window. The keypad is activated by pressing
the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an external keyboard is connected,
pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or external
keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison.
To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad
on an external keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key
on the Notebook keyboard.

POWER S AVING MODES
This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system,
including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the
battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and
the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
THE BATTERY POWER S YSTEM
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery
takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If
possible, always charge the battery completely.
If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed
more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a single month
alone, we recommend you to perform the “Battery Calibration”
process every 3 months to maintain the battery life.
27
Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing how to
calibrate your system battery discussed on the latter part of this
chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the
“Battery Calibration” process immediately.
REMOVING THE B ATTERY P ACK
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to
Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use
Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery
IC within the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get
accurate reporting of remaining battery life status.
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.
2. Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the
battery fully recharge. W hen the battery charge indicator turns
off, the battery is fully charged.
3. 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.
4. 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.
Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function
You can automatically charge the battery pack by using the AC
Adapter. The charge time is about three hours when the Notebook
power is turned off. The following table summarizes the charging
modes:
Charge Mode
Fast
28
Charge Time
3 hours with the system off or in Suspend mode.
The temperature must be 25°C or below room
temperature.
Pre-Charge
A pre-charge is supplied to the Li-Ion battery pack.
Battery Status
Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an
icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is
running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge
is remaining in the battery.
Battery Low Warning
When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state
approximately 10 ~ 15 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 5 seconds alerting you
to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the
“Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining.
You must save your data or connect AC power immediately;
otherwise, you may lose your data.
Sound
Continuous
beeping every 5
seconds
Beeping

Meaning
Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes
charge remaining.
Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2
minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your
work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC
adapter.
When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the
Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should
connect AC power and resume to save your work.
Small Battery for the Real Time Clock
There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the
system in order to maintain certain system information while the
power is off. If the Notebook is left without a power source for long
period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system
information will be lost.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the
battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss
when the system loses power.
29
B ATTERY CALIBRATION
The purpose for this process is to provide a longer battery life for
your system battery pack.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may
encounter while using your computer.
LOCATING A PROBLEM
Problems with your computer can be caused by something as
minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged
hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you
find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested
solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps
you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.
Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation,
deductive reasoning, and an organized approach to solving the
problem.
The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic
categories: hardware problems and software problems. Hardware
problems can be further divided into electrical and mechanical
problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the
screen is dark, the computer cannot read the disk drives, or you
get an error message during the Power-On Self Test (POST).
Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and
the operating system can give you a large number of error
messages. On top of this, each application software package has
its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether
the software error message you are getting is from the application
or the operating system. Once you know this, you can look in the
respective manual for a solution to the problem.
CHECKING C ABLES AND CONNECTIONS
Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the
computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your
computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating
with each other properly.
57
To check the power cables, and connections:
1. If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook
to an external power source and make sure that the battery
has a charge.
2. If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the
power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that
may affect your computer.
3. Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know
is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for
checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses
and breakers in your electric box.
4. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the
switch is on.
5. If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different
outlet.
6. If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off
switch, make sure the switch is on.
7. With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable
connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral
devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.
If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be
loose or the cables may be crimped.
Do not substitute cables for different devices
(other than the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look
exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different.
8.
When you are certain that you have power available and all
connections are good, turn the computer on again. If the
computer still does not start, you may have a hardware
problem.
THE POWER-ON SELF TEST
The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or
reset the Notebook. The POST checks memory, the main system
board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other
installed options.
A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright
message appears on your display screen. A memory test message
appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all
installed memory is tested.
58
Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the
memory test.
Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the
POST:
• Error messages that indicate a failure with either the
hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System
(BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer
from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent
results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor
malfunction.
• Messages that furnish important information on the poweron and boot processes (such as memory status). These
non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect
results that may not be readily apparent. An example of a
non-critical error would be a memory chip failure.
In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical
error), the computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If
failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as
the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is
displayed on the screen and testing is stopped. It is important to
remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer,
only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic
programs.
If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but
displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an
error code, consult your dealer.
GENERAL H ARDWARE PROBLEMS
A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are
presented in the table below:
Problem: Failure in the installation of the Audio driver.
Solution: Be sure to first remove the current audio device from
your system. Please follow the instruction on the installation of
audio driver.
Problem: The display screen is dark
Solution: Make sure that the computer is not in Suspend mode.
Check the Brightness controls for the screen. If the controls are
turned too far down, the screen will be dark.
Problem: An incorrect date and time are displayed.
59
Solution: Correct the date and time using the DOS DATE and
TIME commands or the options in the Setup Utility. If the date and
time become incorrect after a short time, your CMOS battery may
be depleted. Contact your dealer to change the battery.
Problem: You hear irregular beeps during operation of the
Notebook and the system halts.
Solution: The problem is beyond the scope of this manual.
Contact technical support.
Problem: An unidentified message is displayed.
Solution: Reboot the computer and run the BIOS system setup.
Confirm the Setup parameters. If the same message is displayed
after booting up again, contact technical support for assistance.
Problem: The system cannot access the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
drive.
Solution: Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive.
Make sure that you are using the correct program for that kind of
CD. For example, the system cannot read a data CD using an
audio program.
Problem: You cannot operate the printer.
Solution: Check the printer cable connection. Ensure that the
printer power switch is turned on. Confirm that the printer is on-line.
Problem: You cannot use the mouse.
Solution:
• Check the cable connection.
• Check the mouse with another application to see if there is a
software incompatibility problem.
• If possible, check the mouse with another computer to see if
it works. If it doesn’t operate on a different system, the
mouse might be broken.
CONTACTING YOUR DEALER
If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the
next step is to contact your dealer. Your dealer can determine if
the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to
the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the
following information:
•
60
How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to
know what peripheral devices you are using.
•
•
•
What messages, if any, are on the screen?
What software were you running at the time?
What have you done already to try to solve the problem? If
you have overlooked a step, your dealer may be able to
solve the problem over the phone.
