Introduction
Innovative technology and ergonomic design make this notebook the ideal user-friendly and reliable
travel companion. Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure
when you use your notebook for the first time.
The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to use
the battery capacity of your notebook effectively. By using an additional battery instead of the disk
drive, you can double the notebook’s mobile operation time.
Your notebook has 32 - 192 MB of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Data is
saved on an Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive. Your notebook is also equipped with a 3 1/2" floppy disk
drive and a CD-ROM drive. In addition, your notebook can be equipped with a DVD drive or with a 2ndd
hard disk drive. Two PC card slots (CardBus or PCMCIA) enable the notebook to operate two type II
PC cards or one type III PC card.
For mouse control the notebook provides a touchpad. A double-touch directly on the touchpad is all
that is needed, for example, to open an application.
Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as, e.g. external monitor, printer and mouse.
The parallel port (which supports ECP and EPP modes) is designed to accommodate bi-directional
data transfer. You can connect peripherals such as, e. g. scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard
or mouse via the USB interface.
The notebook disposes of a infrared interface for wireless data transfer.
In addition, the notebook has a connection port for a MobiDock or a QuickPort.
An audio controller, two loudspeakers, a microphone, an audio input and output and a loudspeaker
output provide your notebook with an audio capability. You can thus incorporate voice, noise effects
and music into your notebook environment. You can also connect an external microphone and an
external loudspeaker.
The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup program.
Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, power-management functions) can be modified via
various key combinations while you are using the notebook.
Your notebook has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorized persons can access
your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security
functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your notebook into operation and how to operate it in daily
use.
Further information on this notebook is provided:
• in the "Safety Notes" manual which is included with your notebook
• in the documentation of your operating system
• on the SCENIC Mobile CD "Drivers & Utilities"
• in the information files (e. g. *.TXT, *.WRI, *.DOC, *.HLP)

The battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling its power management features.
The battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field (see the section "Indicators
and input devices") When you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds before the battery status
is displayed.
The battery will last for roughly 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
The battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and 40°C.
The battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field.
A battery is fully charged in approximately three hours if the notebook is switched on. If the notebook is
switched on, the battery will charge in roughly five to six hours.
You can charge the battery by:
• connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
• connecting the notebook to the power adapter
• connecting the notebook to the car adapter
• connecting the notebook to the MobiDock
• connecting the notebook to the QuickPort
Batteries are to be stored in a charged state of approximately 50% over a long period of time (longer
than two months). If you store the batteries up to two months, the charge status of the batteries must
be approximately 30%. The batteries should be stored in a dry environment in temperatures between
+10°C and +25°C.
iIf you do not use the batteries for longer periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
store the batteries in the unit.

• I/O cards (modem, network board,
COM, SCSI etc.)
• memory cards (e.g. SRAM,
FLASH)
• ATA cards (e.g. Harddisk,
Sundisk)
PC cards require an IRQ (no shared
IRQ!), I/O addresses and/or a memory
area and possibly DMA.
(see also the documentation on the
PC card).
BIOS SETUP
PnP = Plug and Play
Shared IRQ:
Several PCI components can share one free ISA-IRQ (assignment of the IRQs is automatic).
Conflict situations with ISA cards can be prevented under DOS/WfW with the "ISA configuration utility"
disk, which you created using the batchfiles in the directory /PROGS/DISKS (IRQ, DMA, I/O address,
etc. are reserved for the ISA card and are therefore no longer available for the PCI bus!).
Under Windows 9x you can change the resource contentions manually with the "Device Manager".

Parallel interface

25 14
The parallel interface supports three transfer modes: SPP, EPP and ECP. SPP mode (standard
parallel port) is the mode traditionally used to drive a printer. EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP
(Extended Capabilities Port) modes are transfer modes that allow transfer rates of 2 and 2.4 Mbytes/s.
These modes will only work in connection with peripheral devices which specifically support them.
Cases where these transfer modes are used are, for example, interface conversions between Parallel
and SCSI or Parallel and IDE. The pinouts are different in all three modes.
