ENERGY STAR® is a government program that offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions, making it easy to save money while protecting the environment for future generations. Please reference ENERGY STAR® related information from www.energystar.gov. As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, MiTAC Technology Corporation has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. An ENERGY STAR® qualified computer uses 70% less electricity than computers without enabled power management features. Earning the ENERGY STAR® z When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air. z If left inactive, ENERGY STAR® qualified computers enter a low-power mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years ago. z Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer. z Businesses that use ENERGY STAR® enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

z Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment in a single home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years. z Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can result in much savings annually. Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower consumers’ utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.

Operating Your Computer 2-1 Chapter 2 Operating Your Computer This chapter provides information about the use of the computer. If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating basics. If you are already a computer user but are new to notebook computers, you may choose to read only the parts containing information unique to your computer. Described in this chapter are the operating basics of these components: z Keyboard z Touchpad z Touchscreen (option) z Hard disk drive And these features: z Starting and stopping the computer z Video features z Audio features z Communication features CHAPTER

Operating Your Computer 2-2 Starting and Stopping the Computer There are a number of ways to start and stop the computer. Starting the Computer You always start the computer using the power button. A computer starts up with an operating system (OS) existing on the storage device such as the hard disk. The computer will automatically load the OS after you turn it on. This process is called booting. NOTE: An operating system is the platform for all your software application programs to run on. The most widely used operating system today is Microsoft Windows XP. Stopping the Computer When you finish a working session, you can stop the computer by turning off the power or leaving the computer in Standby or Hibernation mode: To stop in this mode... Do this... To start up or resume again Off Follow the shutdown procedure of your operating system. This can prevent loss of unsaved data or damage to your software programs. If the system is locked up because of hardware or software problems, press the power button to turn off the computer. Press the power button. Standby Depending on your settings in Windows, you can place the computer in Standby mode by: • Closing the display cover • Pressing the Fn+F10 hot key • Pressing the power button Press any key. Hibernation Depending on your settings in Windows, Press the power

Operating Your Computer 2-3 To stop in this mode... Do this... To start up or resume again you can place the computer in Hibernation mode by: • Closing the display cover • Pressing the Fn+F10 hot key • Pressing the power button button. If you choose to stop in Standby or Hibernation mode, you can return to where you left off the next time you start up the computer. (See “Power Management” in Chapter 3 for more information.)

Operating Your Computer 2-4 Using the Keyboard Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer keyboard plus a Fn key added for specific functions. The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four major categories: z Typewriter keys z Cursor-control keys z Numeric keys z Function keys Typewriter Keys Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. When the lock keys (Caps Lock, Num Lk, and Scroll Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators light up. The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are using. Cursor-Control Keys NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.

Operating Your Computer 2-5 Numeric Keypad A 15-key numeric keypad is embedded in the typewriter keys as shown next: Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you can use these keys to enter numerals. NOTE: z When the numeric keypad is activated and you need to type the English letter in the keypad area, you can turn Num Lock off or you can press Fn and then the letter without turning Num Lock off. z Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on the computer. If so, use the numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead. Function Keys On the top row of the keys are the function keys: F1 to F12. Function keys are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual programs. Fn Key The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another key to perform the alternative function of a key. The letter “Fn” and the alternative functions are identified by the color of blue on the keytop. To perform a desired function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key. Hot Keys Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the corresponding function to the other or next choice.

Operating Your Computer 2-7 Using the Touchpad CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may damage the touchpad surface. NOTE: For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pads clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force. The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons. The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad. Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad: Term Action Point Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the selection on the screen. Click Press and release the left button. –or– Tap gently anywhere on the pad. Double-click Press and release the left button twice in quick succession. –or– Tap twice on the pad rapidly.

Operating Your Computer 2-8 Term Action Drag and drop Press and hold the left button, then move your finger until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release the button (drop) when you finish dragging your selection to the destination. The object will drop into the new location. –or– Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap, keep your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the selected object will drop into place. Scroll To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the working area on the screen. To move vertically, place your finger on the right or left edge of the pad and slide your finger up and down along the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger on the top or bottom edge of the pad and slide your finger left and right. This function works only after you install the touchpad driver supplied with the computer and it may not work for all applications. TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer be valid. Configuring the Touchpad You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can use the right button as the left button and vise versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on. To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver if you are using Windows.

Operating Your Computer 2-9 Using the Touchscreen (Optional) NOTE: z Your computer comes with an optional touchscreen function. z Make sure the touchscreen driver has been installed properly (see chapter 6 for details). CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. Use your finger or the included touchscreen pen (option). The touchscreen is a touch-sensitive device that allows you to easily use the computer without a mouse or touchpad to communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons. Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchscreen: Term Action Click/Point Tap gently on the touchscreen. Double-click Tap twice on the touchscreen rapidly. Drag and drop Press lightly on the touchscreen and move your finger until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release your finger (drop) when you finish dragging your selection to the destination. The object will drop into the new location.

Managing Power 3-1 Chapter 3 Managing Power Your computer operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way. The topics in this chapter include: z What is an AC adapter z How to charge the battery pack z When and how to initialize the battery pack z How to check the battery level z How to replace the battery pack z What happens when the battery is low and what actions to take z What is Power Management z How to save power CHAPTER

Managing Power 3-2 AC Adapter CAUTION: z The AC adapter is designed for use with your computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. z The AC power cord supplied with your computer is for use in the country where you purchased your computer. If you plan to go overseas with the computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. z When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the computer. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or computer. z When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.

Managing Power 3-3 Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE: z Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). z The charging process will stop and the Battery Charge Indicator flashes green when the battery’s temperature gets above 60 °C (140 °F). If this happens, the battery pack may be damaged. Please contact your dealer. z During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the computer glows yellow to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the computer power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator is off. It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack when the computer is off, and approximately 6 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack when the computer is on. CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer.

Managing Power 3-4 Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer. By Operating System You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click the icon on the taskbar. (Click the icon if the computer is using AC power.) Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION: z There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the computer manufacturer’s optional battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions. z Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling, you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup. To replace the battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the computer.

Managing Power 3-5 3. Open the compartment cover by pressing on the battery cover latch (n), sliding the release lever (o), and lifting up the cover. 4. Pull on the ribbon strip to remove the battery stopper.

Managing Power 3-6 5. Slide the battery pack towards the left and pull on the ribbon strip to remove the battery pack. 6. Slide the new battery pack all the way towards the right. Make sure to observe the correct orientation (the ribbon strip must be on the left for future battery pack removal).

Managing Power 3-7 7. Replace the battery stopper to secure the battery pack. 8. Replace the compartment cover by inserting the left portion (n), then placing down the right portion (o).

Managing Power 3-8 9. Slide the release lever to secure the battery compartment cover. Battery Low Signals and Actions Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10 % (Windows default setting) of its charge remaining. The computer gives warning beeps or messages and the Battery Charge Indicator ( ) blinks yellow to alert you to take actions. NOTE: You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under Windows. Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you are using the computer. If you are using the audio subsystem, PC card, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very quickly. Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on the Standby or Hibernation mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC adapter. If you do not take any action, the computer will automatically hibernate and turn off.

Managing Power 3-9 CAUTION: z If you are using a PC card, do not access the card during battery low periods. This is because the access may take longer than the time it takes the battery to run out of charge, thus making your access to the card unsuccessful. z If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you lose your data.

Managing Power 3-10 Power Management Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving. With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows XP, power supply to different computer components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time. In general, Windows’ power management works in this way: What... When... Power to the hard disk is turned off When the hard disk has been idle for a set period. Power to the display is turned off When the display has been idle for a set period. When the entire system has been idle for a set period. When you press the Fn+F10 hot key. * When you close the cover. * The computer enters the Standby mode. The hard disk and display are turned off and the entire system consumes less power. When you press the power button. * When you press the Fn+F10 hot key. * When you close the cover. * The computer enters the Hibernation mode. (See the next subsection for more information.) When you press the power button. * * Depends on your settings in Windows. For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.

Managing Power 3-11 Hibernation NOTE: Make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the Hibernate tab of the Power Options Properties from the Control Panel in Windows XP. Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the computer can be turned off. When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your computer, you return to exactly where you left off.

Managing Power 3-12 Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your computer’s power saving mode (see previous section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these suggestions. z Do not disable Power Management. z Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level. z If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the application when you finish using it. z If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC cards drain power even while they are inactive. z Deactivate the WLAN function if you are not using it (see Chapter 2). z Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
