Tips for New Owners

zTake responsibility for backup

Back up files often. Users who need to manage large amounts of data may wish to use backup

devices

zCreate a set of recovery CDs or DVDs to recover your hard disk in case it becomes corrupted.

To do this, use the Recovery CD Wizard by selecting Start, Programs, Mobile Computer Tools.

zDon't leave passwords anywhere on your notebook or carrying case

zBe careful when placing your notebook on an airport security conveyor belt

In most airports, security conveyor belts are safe for computers. If you are not sure, ask the

security staff. You should keep a close eye on your computer

zTape your business card to the notebook and accessories

In the workplace, notebooks and accessories may often look exactly alike, leading to equipment

mix-ups. Prevent such mix-ups by placing your name on your equipment

zInstall antivirus software

zConsider using a lock

For added security, consider purchasing a computer lock to put into the Security Slot on the back

edge of your computer near the battery. Use the lock to secure the computer to a desk or table

zDevelop ergonomic work habits

The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable work

environment. For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer

bookstore, or local library. The Internet also has information on this and other related

subjects

NOTE Using a computer for extended periods of time with a poor workstation setup and

incorrect work habits can cause health problems

constellation of satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these satellites as reference points to

calculate positions accurate within five meters.

Bluetooth (option)

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short range, wireless technology. Bluetooth systems create a Wireless personal-area

network (WPAN). 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 weak signals of 1 milliwatt. Class II Bluetooth devices have a range of about

ten meters while Class I devices have a range up to 100 meters. The GoBook XR-1 Bluetooth option is

a Class I device with the greater range. Even with the low power, the walls in your house won't stop a

Bluetooth signal. This makes the standard useful for controlling several devices in different rooms.

However, obstructions such as walls do degrade the signal and reduce its range.

Antennas

The GoBook XR-1 has several embedded antenna options to support wireless communications. They

require no user action.

CAUTION Use only the supplied or an approved antenna(s). Use of unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments may void your warranty and could impair call quality, damage the radio,

or result in violation of FCC regulations.

The GoBook XR-1 may contain the radio transmitters listed below. The following statements are

relevant when using these radios:

Each internal radio may or may not have an individual FCC Identifier label. That FCC Identifier label is

not a

Improving Radio Coverage

Wireless connectivity between your computer 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. Weather can affect performance.

On the Street

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

ack b

another buildin

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. Problems may emanate from a source

between your 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. This section contains the information you need to know

to operate the computer on battery power. It also includes information on how your computer manages

and saves power. Effective use of power management options can greatly conserve and extend your

battery life. Your computer employs a power management scheme that supports ACPI (Advanced

Configuration and Power Interface), allowing for maximum power conservation and maximum

erformance at the same time.

Frequently Asked Battery Questions

Does it harm the Li-Ion battery pack to frequently “top off” the batteries?

What constitutes a charge cycle?

Where can general battery charge state information be obtained?

What effect will temperature have on battery life and performance?

The Battery

The battery has the following characteristics:

zEmploys current battery technology standards

The computer uses a "smart" Lithium-Ion battery to consistently provide the long battery life best

suited for mobile users

zA temperature sensor and memory device that stores information about the battery, such as how

much charge is left and how many times it has been recharged

zBattery-low warning

When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery alarm beeps or displays a warning on your

screen. This tells you that the battery power is critically low (and you should save your work).

You can correct this situation by recharging the battery.

Whenever possible, use the AC adapter. The battery will come in handy when you travel or do not have

access to AC power. It is advisable to have an extra fully-charged battery available as backup.

Using a battery for the first time

Before using a battery for the first time:

1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer, then to a power source.

2. Calibrate the battery to set the gas gauge to accurately reflect battery capacity.

used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we recommend you

remove the battery.

Battery and Temperature

The battery is most efficient at room temperature. It operates in a wide temperature range but the battery

capacity is affected by higher or lower temperatures.

NOTE While the battery may not provide 100% capacity at temperature extremes, its capacity is

restored when the battery temperature is normalized to around 20°C (68°F).

Installing and removing the battery pack

CAUTION! Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to

the computer or a media bay battery installed; otherwise, turn off the computer.

To Install the Battery:

OTE When using a battery pack for the first time, it is recommended that you calibrate the battery so

the gas gauge accurately displays battery capacity.

Power Saving Modes

Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Saver utility.

Suspend Mode

There are several possible settings for suspend mode. You may Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk

(Hibernate), or disable suspend altogether, which is not recommended.

Suspend to RAM (Stand By)

In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while most of the

components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a minimum.

In a Suspend to RAM, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power

consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing any key. A fully-charged battery can

maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) is similar to turning off the computer, except that the current state of the

computer is copied to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer returns from suspend mode, the

desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend

to Disk (Hibernate) is very useful when you do not want to take the time to shut down all open programs

one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to open the same programs and files the next time you

use the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.

Initiating Suspend Mode

There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power Saver utility:

zThe computer may automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time

zSelecting the Standby button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box

zPressing the power button will cause the computer to hibernate by default

zPressing the suspend function key (Fn+F3 )

Power Button Settings

The function of the Power Button can be set to Shut down, Stand by or Hibernate in the Power Saver

utilit

. However, holdin

while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.

When to Replace the Battery

Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery if it

no longer provides 70% of its original rated capacity.

WARNING There is danger of explosion if the 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.

Heat Considerations

The computer’s processor has been specially designed to consume as little power as possible. However,

working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer

takes the following steps to lower temperature:

1. The cooling fan turns on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent on the left side of

the computer when this happens.

2. If the temperature continues to rise, Processor activity is reduced. You may notice a slight loss of

performance when this happens.

3. To prevent damage, if the computer gets too hot, the processor stops and the computer shuts

down.

Battery Calibration

Over time, as the battery is repeatedly drained and recharged, battery runtime may decrease.

Occasionally, the battery should be recalibrated for maximum performance. The calibration process

empties and charges the battery. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery

status. Battery Calibration will take from 10 to 16 hours, depending on how much power the battery

already contains.

It is recommended you calibrate your battery:

zif the gas gauge has become inaccurate.

Windows Battery Calibration

To run the Battery Calibration program select Start, All Programs, Mobile Computer Tools, Battery

Calibration. Then select Start to begin calibration the battery.

After starting calibration, the Battery Calibration application requires no further input from the user. The

calibration consists of four steps:

1. Partial Discharge - the battery is drained to a level below 85 %.

2. Charge - the battery is fully charged to 100 %.

3. Discharge and calibrate:

First, the battery is discharged all the way down to zero. Now the battery is 'calibrated' but not

charged. You may stop the process after this point and let the battery charge outside of the Battery

Calibration application.

4. Charge - if the Battery Calibration continues running, the battery will fully charged to 100%.

OTE The unit will not go into suspend mode while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not disconnect AC power while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not remove the battery while Battery Calibration is running. Doing so will cause the

application to terminate immediately.

BIOS Level Battery Calibration

You can also calibrate the battery from within BIOS Setup. To calibrate the battery from BIOS Setup

follow these steps:

1. Plug in the AC adapter.

2. Restart the computer. When the startup screen appears, just prior to the Windows logo screen,

press the Del key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. At the "Choose the setup function" screen, select "Battery Calibration" and hit enter.

NOTE Make sure the AC adapter and battery are present.

4. Choose Primary or Secondary battery and press enter.

Low Battery Alarms

How your computer responds to a low battery condition can be set by going to Start, Settings, Control

Panel, Power Options, Alarms.

Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery

Alarm. Use the slide bar to set the power level at which the alarms are activated. Select the Action

button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both.

CAUTION When battery power is low, the alarm beeps or displays a warning on your screen. Take

immediate action, such as saving files or connecting to the AC adapter, or data may be lost.

When the computer alerts you that the battery is low, immediately do one of the following:

zConnect the AC power adapter

zSave your work and then select Shut Down from the Start menu

zTurn off the computer and replace the discharged battery with a charged battery (See Battery

Charging).

OTE Do not restart the computer until you have connected to an AC adapter or replaced the

discharged battery with a charged battery.

Power Saver

Your computer includes a utility, Power Saver, to build upon the operating system's power management

capabilities. It is recommended that you use Power Saver rather than the Power Management utility

located under the Control Panel. Power Saver provides additional ways of saving battery power.

When on external power, Power Saver provides two profiles: Docked and Normal. When on battery, it

zYour battery will last longer during the day if it is used, charged and stored between 50°F and 86°

F (10°C and 30°C)

zCharge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 68°F (20°C). Your battery

may not last as long through the day if you charge it at higher or lower temperatures

zAllow unrestricted airflow while the computer is connected to external power. Make sure that the

fan inlet and outlet are unobstructed

z Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures for long periods, which can shorten battery charge life

and potentially damage the battery.

How your battery behaves in warm conditions

zTo prevent possible damage to the battery, the system may not allow a charge if the battery

tem

erature is above 122°F

(

50°C

)

this case, the Battery Power Indicator may indicate that the computer has stopped charging

your battery; however, your battery may not be fully charged.

zIf possible, turn off or suspend your computer while the battery is charging in a warm

environment to avoid over-heating

zIn warmer temperatures, your battery may take much longer to fully charge.

How your battery behaves in cold conditions

zWhen using a battery in cold conditions, the battery capacity may drain significantly faster

zTo prevent possible damage to the battery, the system will not allow a charge if the battery

temperature is below 41°F (5°C), such as in a closed, unattended vehicle during the winter. In this

case, the Battery Power Indicator may indicate that the computer has stopped charging your

battery; however, your battery may not be fully charged

zIn cooler temperatures, your battery can take much longer to fully charge.

Tip 2. Prevent wasted power

zManually turn off or suspend your computer whenever you are not using it

zReduce the screen brightness. Decrease brightness by pushing Fn + F6. Increase it by pushing Fn

+ F7

zEnable the display's automatic dimming feature

zUse the AC adapter or vehicle adapter whenever possible

zConnect to a charging source and fully charge at the end of day. This ensures the gas gauge is

accurate and provides a charged battery for the next day

zAvoid allowing the Li-Ion battery pack to completely discharge

zUse the Power Saver utility to help save power

zWhen running on battery power, make sure your system suspends automatically after a few

minutes of inactivity. PC Cards, radios, custom applications, or modified system settings may

affect this

zRemove PC Cards and unplug peripherals when you are not using them. They may draw power

from the system even when not in use

zAvoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power.

Operating a fax/modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer’s power requirements

zAvoid or minimize using applications that keep the CPU busy a large percentage of the time. The

following will help you determine if your system is running such applications:

Identifying power wasting programs

To determine if applications or processes are keeping the CPU busy

1. Start the Task Manager utility. To open Windows Task Manager, right-click an empty space on

the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.

2. Select the Performance tab to view running applications, and the Process tab to view running

processes.

3. Watch the CPU Usage. It is okay if the processor usage is occasionally 100 percent, but if it is 100

percent most of the time, this may indicate a problem.

What to do if applications are keeping the CPU busy

zIf possible, close applications that keep the CPU busy when you are not using them

zTurn off or suspend your computer whenever you are not using it. This will help to conserve

power

zInform your organization's help desk. They may have an updated version of the application.

Tip 3. Calibrate your battery

zOver time, the accuracy of the Windows battery gas gauge may be affected by repeated charging

and discharging of the battery. Calibrating the battery every 3 or 4 months helps to keep the gas

gauge accurate. For information on calibrating the battery, refer to Battery Calibration.

Tip 4. Get a good charge

zYour computer will charge more quickly if it is turned off or suspended

zIn warmer or cooler temperatures, your battery can take much longer to fully charge

zIf your battery is charged in a cold (less than 41°F/5°C) or very warm (greater than 122°F/50°C)

environment, it is possible that the Battery Charge LED will indicate that the charge has stopped;

however, this does not necessarily mean that your battery is fully charged.

Tip 5. Prevent data loss

Follow these guidelines to prevent data loss when removing your battery or storing your computer:

zYou will lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is operating or suspended. To

prevent this, shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate (suspend-to-disk) mode before

removin

our batter

zIf you plan to store your computer for more than a few days, shutdown your computer or put it

into hibernate mode. Remove the battery before storing the computer.

Tip 6. Clean terminals

zDirty terminals can be a cause of charging problems. Clean battery terminals with a cotton swab

dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the alcohol has evaporated before reinstalling the

battery.

Tip 7. Storing batteries

Stored Li-Ion battery packs gradually deteriorate, particularly if they are not stored in ideal conditions,

and their life expectancy decreases. When storing Li-Ion battery packs for extended periods, consider

these recommendations:

zWhen storing batteries for extended periods, it is recommended that you store them between 3°C

to 7°C (38°F to 45°F) to retard self-discharge and battery aging. If you store batteries at normal

ambient temperatures, use the following charging policy to maintain battery pack condition:

zCharge installed batteries every 21 days to maintain their charge capacity

zCharge uninstalled batteries every 6 months.

zUnused or stored batteries can lose power over time. When you install a battery that has not been

used recently, connect external power to the computer and fully charge your battery

zFully charged Li-Ion batteries deteriorate faster than partly discharged ones. For ideal storage,

charge the battery to 100% and then discharge them to 50% charge before storing.

zDo not allow stored Li-Ion batteries to discharge completely, as this may permanently damage

them. Stored batteries should be recharged to 50% capacity every six months

Customizing Your BIOS Settings

Surge Protection

A large number of computer and high technology equipment damage is directly related to AC power and

telephone line problems. These problems can include surges, spikes, noise, interference, and weather-

related problems, which in turn can cause glitches, hang-ups, crashes, performance slow downs, and

down time with computer equipment. The market is flooded with hundreds of AC power line surge

suppressors advertising high performance surge protection; only a few of them actually provide

adequate protection.

This section provides guidelines for selecting a quality surge suppressor to be used with your GoBook

XR-1, and it helps identify a few sources for products with acceptable performance.

Selecting the Right Surge Protection

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

ower line without protecting the modem line provides only partial protection.

Quality of Electrical Wiring and Service

Wiring should be up to current NEC 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

our s

stem reference the same AC

round.

Selecting the Right Equipment

There are a number of companies that sell quality surge suppressors such as Sutton Designs, APC, and

Panamax. When you are looking for a surge suppressor, consider these things.

zExpect to pay at least $50 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.

Vehicle Adapter

The Vehicle Adapter is an optional device that supplies power from the vehicle battery to operate the

computer and charge the battery installed in the unit. It typically connects to the vehicle battery using the

cigarette lighter socket.

CAUTION The Vehicle Adapter is only designed for temporary use. Use the optional Vehicle Dock to

ower and secure the GoBook X

-1 for frequent or long term vehicle installations.

To prevent possible damage to the battery, the system will not allow the battery to charge at extreme

temperatures. Be aware of the following charging characteristics, especially if the computer is left

unattended in a closed vehicle.

To connect the vehicle adapter

1. Insert the vehicle adapter’s power cord into the power port on the back of the computer.

2. Insert the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket, turning it slightly to

make a good connection.

The power light illuminates to indicate that current is reaching the vehicle adapter. When you

connect the vehicle adapter, it automatically begins charging the computer’s battery. At moderate

temperatures, around 20°C (68ºF), the battery will be fully charged in approximately four to five

hours. However, as the battery temperature approaches the ends of its temperature range (5°C/41°

F to 50°C/122°F), it will take longer to charge the battery.

CAUTION Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods. To

prevent possible damage to the battery, the GoBook XR-1 laptop does not allow the battery to

charge if the internal temperature of the battery gets too low (< 5°C or < 41°F) or too high (> 50°

C or > 122°F).

Vehicle Dock

The vehicle dock is designed to safely secure the computer in a vehicle. It includes a key lock for

security. You can use the vehicle dock to:

• Charge batteries

• Communicate with other devices

• Automatically connect to an external antenna

PRECAUTIONS

• There are no user-replaceable parts within the vehicle dock, so do not open the dock case. The

vehicle dock is internally protected; it resets automatically if there is a power fault.

• Do not use the vehicle dock to charge the computer battery overnight. Turn off the vehicle dock

at the end of each work day to prevent draining the voltage in your vehicle’s battery below

startin

levels.

Charging Batteries

The vehicle dock is designed to charge the computer’s battery with voltage from the vehicle battery

while you are traveling. Follow the procedure below to charge a battery.

To charge a battery installed in the computer

1. Place the computer onto the vehicle dock, making sure it is securely latched.

2. If charging is required it begins automatically. The Battery Power Indicator lights.

3. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Power Indicator turns off.

Communicating with Other Devices

Connect external devices to the ports on the back of the dock, and then place the GoBook XR-1 onto the

vehicle dock. You can install or remove the computer from the vehicle dock without connecting or

disconnecting the cables.

External Antennas

The Vehicle Dock integrates WLAN and WWAN antennas with switching capability. FCC regulations

require that users of vehicle-mounted antennas must use only antennas authorized for use with the

GoBook XR-1 in order to meet FCC RF exposure limits. Itronix IX270 Vehicle Mount and Antennas

are to be installed by Itronix trained professional installation teams only.

RF Antenna Placement

WARNING Improper installation and/or operating configurations of permanent and magnetic vehicle-

mounted antennas may cause FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. Vehicle-mounted antennas must

be placed at least 20 cm from operators and bystanders and at least 92cm (36 inches) from any existing

roof mounted antennas.

Placement of a vehicle-mounted antenna

Important

• Refer to Battery Tips for charging temperature and other recommendations

• If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to determine battery

capacity. The gas gauge may show that the battery is full, but charging continues. This

happens because the charging process is trying to put a little more capacity into the

battery. External power can be removed at this time since the battery is virtually full.

• If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks, rely on the indicator light to

determine when the battery is fully charged. The gas gauge is unreliable in these cases;

it may read 100%, when the actual capacity is only 10%.

1. Measure and identify an area 20 cm (8 inches) in from the edges of the vehicle roof.

2. Place the antenna within that area.

To maximize RF performance, position the antenna in the center of the vehicle roof.

CAUTION Do not place any metal objects on top of the dock that might make contact with the metal

ins of the contact connector. Doing so may cause an electrical short and subsequent damage to the

dock.
