Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions will increase the life of the Notebook. Please follow
allprecautions and instructions. Except as described in the manual, refer all servicing
to qualified personal.
■ Do not place on uneven or unstable work surfaces. Seek servicing if the casing
has been damaged.
■ Do not expose to dirty or dusty environment. And Do not operate during a gas
leak.
■ Do not leave the Notebook on your lap or any part of the body to prevent dis-
comfort or injury from heat exposure.
■ Do not press or touch the display screen. Do not place together with small items
that may scratch or enter the Notebook.
■ The Notebook should only be used in environment with ambient temperature
between 0oC(32oF) and 40oC(104oF).
■ Do not place or drop objects on top.
■ Do not expose to or use near liquidscrainscmoisture or strong magnetic or
electrical fields.
■ Do not carry or cover a Notebook that is powered on with any materials that will
reduce air circulation such as a carrying bag.
■ Do not throw the Notebook in municipal waste. Check local regulations for dis-
posal of electronic products.
■ Wipe the Notebook using a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened
with a solution of nonabrasive detergent and a few drops of warm water and
remove any extra moisture with a dry cloth.
■ Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used bat-
teries according to the instructions.
■ Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
FCC Regulations:
■ This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
■ This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
■ The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.011 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: WXC-
T77H121050.
This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance requirements
with Bluetooth transmitter. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies with FCC
RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device was
tested for typical laptop operations with the device contacted directly to the human
body to the back side of the notebook computer. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna
during transmitting.

!When the computer is running or charging, heat is produced inside the Notebook and
transferred to the back of the chassis by the heat dissipation system for cooling. The
transformer may also produce a lot of heat during normal use as well. The Notebook
and its transformer should therefore not be placed in the lap or on any other body part
for prolonged periods during use. Also avoid placing the Notebook on a soft surface
(e.g. sofa) as it might block the heat vents and interfere with cooling.

Finger gesture Applications
Two-finger zooming in/out Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer
Two-finger rotating Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer
Two-finger scrolling up/down or left/right Adobe Reader, MS Word, MS Excel
● Two-finger zooming in/out:
Moving two fingertips apart or together on the touchpad to
zoom in or zoom out. This is convenient when viewing photos
or reading documents.
● Two-finger rotating:
Making two fingertips open slightly to draw a concentric circle
on the touchpad to rotate the photo or the document you
are viewing. You can make a clockwise or counterclockwise
rotation based on your needs.
When using the touchpad, keep it and your fingers dry and clean. The touchpad is
sensitive to finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response.
Tapping harder will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
Tap twice (at the same speed as
double-clicking a mouse button);
rest your finger on the touchpad on
the second tap and drag the cursor.

Install Windows XP System in Notebook
The method to install Windows XP system in the Notebook has the difference because
of the SATA hard disk in BIOS settings, because the SATA hard disk has IDE and AHCI
two kind of modes, so the method to install system also has two kinds.
²Create a AHCI Driver Diskette
1. Find a PC, put a diskette into its floppy drive
A:, this diskette will be formatted later. Put
the driver CD into DVD drive.
2. Depending on which platform your system
is, normally, it is a 32-bit XP system. Use
Windows explorer, and go to CD:\Driver\
AHCI\Floppy\32bit, click on RaidTool icon
to start the creation.
2-1 Install Windows XP system in AHCI mode
The default setting of SATA hard disk is AHCI in the Notebook, when you want to install
Windows XP system in AHCI mode, you need to create a AHCI driver floppy diskette
which will be used during Windows XP installation later.
What kinds of hardware and software you need here :
An USB DVD drive, an USB Floppy drive, a Floppy diskette, a Notebook driver CD,
Windows XP Install CD.
Before you continue :
■ Shut down your computer.
■ Connect the DVD drive and Floppy drive to the USB ports of Notebook and connect
the power cord to AC power.
·Please confirm the mode of SATA hard disk before installation of Windows XP
system, and install the system with corresponding method according to the mode.
Otherwise can meet the problem which is unable to install. Please do not change
the mode of SATA hard disk after installation otherwise the system will not work
normally.
·It will short the life of battery pack when you install Windows XP system in IDE
mode of SATA hard disk
