$NOTE Some of the features associated with these LEDs are options and may not be included in your computer's configuration. Touchpad The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger over of the touchpad. It also provides all the features of a two-button mouse. How to Use the Touchpad 1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either your left or right thumb off the space bar and onto the touchpad. 2. Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction. 3. You can also make selections by double-tapping. This function corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-tapping on the touchpad selects the desired item and prompts the software to perform the related operation. Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings, Control Panel, Mouse, Buttons. These settings allow you to change the orientation from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer movement and timing of clicks. Touchpad Precautions The touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following precautions: zMake sure the touchpad does not into come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease zDo not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty zDo not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons8 Caps Lock Green 9 Scroll Lock Steady Green Keyboard is in Scroll Lock mode 10 WLAN Communication Steady Green Wireless LAN radio is on 11 Bluetooth Communication Steady Green Bluetooth radio is on 12 GPS Communication Steady Green GPS radio is on 13 WWAN Communication Steady Green WWAN radio is on Page 17 of 70VR-2 Help4/26/2007file://C:\Documents and Settings\harwoodm\Local Settings\Temp\~hh3F7F.htm$

$zKeep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad and keep the touchpad dry and clean zThe touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. It responds best to light touches. Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad's responsiveness Touchpad Buttons The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Pressing these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To Select an Object 1. First move the pointer over the object you want to select 2. Press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software specific. Double-Clicking Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons. Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button two times. This action is commonly referred to as "double-clicking" an object. Dragging zMove the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button zMove the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice quickly as if you were double-clicking; however, do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging Display The GoBook VR-2 features a 13.3-inch, XGA, outdoor-viewable, color display with an optional integrated touch screen.

$Bluetooth is a short range, wireless radio. When Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another, an electronic conversation automatically takes place to determine whether they have data to share or whether one needs to control the other. Then, the devices hop frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another and avoid interference with other devices. Bluetooth devices send out very weak signals of 1 milliwatt. By comparison, the most powerful cell phones can transmit a signal of 3 watts. This limits their range to about ten meters. Even with the low power, the walls in your house won't stop a Bluetooth signal, making the standard useful for controlling several devices in different rooms. Antennas The GoBook VR-2 has several embedded antenna options to support wireless communications. Improving Radio Coverage Wireless connectivity between your GoBook VR-2 and wireless network access points is essential. Maintaining this wireless connectivity over a wide area is fundamental to the usefulness of the network. This makes the scope and reliability of radio coverage a primary concern. Therefore, one of the most important features of the wireless network is the degree of radio coverage provided. Coverage can be influenced by terrain, buildings or even a crowded room. Here are some tips to help you improve radio coverage, depending on your location. In any Location 1. Performance can vary significantly at different times of the day. 2.

$1. Try all sides of a building to see which side provides the strongest radio signal. 2. Move from under trees. Pine needles absorb radio signals more than leaves. 3. Move away from overhead electrical wires. 4. Radio signals reflect off other buildings. Even in the signal shadow, the signal could be reflected back by another building. 5. Try not to hold the unit. If possible, place it in vehicle, on a cabinet or desk. 6. If holding the unit, turn the unit in 90-degree increments to avoid shielding it with your body. 7. The signal is 1-2 feet across; therefore, moving several feet in any direction may give different results. Inside a Building 1. Move toward windows. 2. Signals do not penetrate ground; therefore, there will probably be no signal in basements. 3. Reflective coatings on windows reflect radio signals. Try the side of the building that is least likely to have coated windows. 4. Closed metal blinds can reflect radio signals. 5. Dropped ceilings sometimes hide an accumulation of electrical cable. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 1. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is generated by switching circuitry closets or Un-interruptable Power Source (UPS) systems found near computer rooms and can block the radio signal. 2. Look for significant sources of electromagnetic radiation. The problem may emanate from a source between location and the radio base station. When to use Landline Communication If these tips do not improve radio signal strength, switch to landline communication. Switching to landline communication is faster than searching for and trying to improve the radio signal. Operating with Battery Power The computer operates on AC or battery power.

$Low-Power States Your computer can enter three different low-power states to conserve power: Standby, Hibernate and Power Off. These states can be entered manually, or after a period of inactivity. You can configure the Power Saver utility to define how and when each of these occur. Standby Most devices in the system are powered off, but the contents of system memory are retained. Standby is sometimes referred to as Suspend to RAM. When the computer returns from standby mode, the desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Resume time is very quick. Hibernate Hibernate, or Suspend to Disk, is similar to Standby, except that the current state of the computer is copied to the hard disk in a special file. After this occurs, all devices in the computer are turned off. When the computer returns from hibernation, the desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Hibernation saves more power than Standby, but takes slightly longer to resume. Power Off All applications are closed and the system is shutdown. Entering Low-Power States There are various ways to initiate these low-power states. • From the Power Saver utility, you can configure the Power Button, Sleep Button (FN+F3) and Lid Switch to initiate any of the above low-power states. • From the Start Menu, select Shut Down to display a dialog that allows you to manually enter any of these low-power states. • The Power Saver utility allows you to specify a period of inactivity before the computer enters standby or hibernate mode. 3.

$Consider the level of quality you need when selecting a surge suppressor. This depends on factors such as surge environment, the type of equipment to be protected, and the quality of the electrical wiring and service. Surge Environment Surge environment refers to the damage potential from electrical surges in a particular geographical area. A high quality suppressor should be used if there is frequent lightning activity in the area and the location service is fed by overhead utility poles. Type of Equipment to be Protected If the computer is equipped with a modem, the modem should also be surge protected. Protecting the power line without protecting the modem line provides only partial protection. Quality of Electrical Wiring and Service Wiring should be up to current local standards and have verified good AC grounds. It is important that your computer system be plugged into a grounded AC outlet when charging and that all peripherals connected to your system reference the same AC ground. Selecting the Right Equipment There are a number of companies that sell quality surge suppressors. When looking for a surge suppressor, consider these things. zExpect to pay more for a good quality surge suppressor zThe surge suppressor should be a UL 1449, 497, and 1283 listed for surge suppression, modem surge protection, and RFI/EMI noise filtering respectively zThe surge suppressor should have diagnostic LEDs that verify good AC ground, proper wiring, and proper surge operation. On/off switches that light are not recommended since they can produce electrical noise zThe Joule ratings should be a minimum of 480 Joules for the AC surge circuit zThe Joule ratings should be a minimum of 240 Joules for the modem zThe modem surge circuit should present low capacitance to the modem line or it will slow the transmission rate. Capacitance should be specified at less than 50 picofarads zQuality surge suppressor manufacturers generally offer a lifetime warranty zConsider obtaining a protected equipment coverage policy which insures the equipment in the event of surge damage zThe devices that will be attached to the computer also need to be surge protected Memory Upgrade Adding memory allows the computer to operate faster, handle more tasks simultaneously, and work more smoothly with large files. Users who increase memory demands - by adding additional programs, for example - may notice a slowdown in operating speed, and wish to increase memory. The GoBook VR-2 comes with one user accessible memory socket supporting a 512MB to 1024MB memory module for memory upgrades. Please consult your dealer if you need to add more memory.
