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:  Keyboard  Touchpad  Touchscreen  Hard disk drive  Optical drive And these features:  Starting and stopping the computer  Video features  Audio features  Communication features
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; or from a CD disc if you have the respective modules installed. 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. 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 at least 4 seconds 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 Fn+F10 • Pressing the power button Press any key. 2-2 Operating Your Computer
To stop in this mode… Do this… To start up or resume again Hibernation Depending on your settings in Windows, you can place the computer in Hibernation mode by: • Closing the display cover • Pressing Fn+F10 • Pressing the power button Press the power 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 2-3
Using the Keyboard NOTE: Your computer features backlight for your keyboard to help you see the keyboard keys during poor lighting conditions. Press Fn+F1 to turn it on/off (see Hot Keys later in this chapter). 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:  Typewriter keys  Cursor-control keys  Numeric keys  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/Alternate key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape 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. 2-4 Operating Your Computer
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. 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. Operating Your Computer 2-5
NOTE:  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.  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. Euro Symbol You can press the Euro dollar sign on the keyboard.  To press the Euro sign on the keyboard, hold down either of the Alt keys and type 0128 on the numeric keypad of your keyboard.  To press the Euro sign on an UK keyboard, hold down the Alt Gr key and press 4 (which has an Euro sign on it). Windows Keys The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions: Windows Logo key and Application key. The Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs software-specific functions when used in combination with other keys. The Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click. (See your Windows manual for more information.) 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. 2-6 Operating Your Computer
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. You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the keytop. The hot keys are described next. Key Description Switches the optional keyboard backlight function on/off with 10 levels of brightness in-between. Decreases the sound volume. Increases the sound volume. Decreases the LCD brightness. Increases the LCD brightness. Switches the LCD backlight on and off Switches the LCD on and off. Operating Your Computer 2-7

Upon booting the system with CRT: LCD CRT LCD & CRT NOTE:  Fn+F9 will not work when playing a DVD/MPEG movie.  Using the VGA utility’s “Graphics Properties” to switch the display output is not allowed.  Display switching when in full screen (maximize view) DOS mode is not allowed.  If the display mode is set to 256 colors or lower, or in DOS mode, there will be only two modes for selecting: CRT only and LCD & CRT.  This function only applies to Plug & Play CRT monitors. Serves as the sleep button that you can define with Windows’ Power Management. (See the “Power Management” in Chapter 3.) Switches the wireless LAN radio on and off. Switches the optional GPS function on and off. 2-8 Operating Your Computer
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 and two 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. Operating Your Computer 2-9
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. 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 edge of the pad and slide your finger up and down along the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger on the 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. 2-10 Operating Your Computer
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 2-11
Using the Touchscreen (Optional) NOTE: Make sure the “Serial Port COM3 (Touchscreen)” item is set properly in the SCU program. (See “Advanced Menu” in chapter 5 for information.) 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 the included touchscreen pen (option) located on the handle. The touchscreen is a touch-sensitive 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 touchscreen needs a special device driver support that allows you to easily use the computer without a mouse or touchpad. (For information on installing the driver, see Chapter 6.) 2-12 Operating Your Computer
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. 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 edge of the touchscreen and slide your finger up and down along the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger on the bottom edge of the touchscreen and slide your finger left and right. This function works only after you install the touchscreen driver supplied with the computer and it may not work for all applications. Operating Your Computer 2-13
Using the Hard Disk Drive Your computer comes with a removable hard disk drive as drive C. A hard disk drive is a storage device with non-removable, rotating, magnetic storage platters inside it. It is where your operating system and application software programs are stored. Your hard disk drive is a 2.5-inch IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive. This type of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable mass storage by integrating all the control circuitry necessary for operation directly onto the drive itself. This allows the drive manufacturer to carefully optimize drive performance. The system comes with a built-in heater that automatically turns on for low temperature operation. The HDD indicator ( ) blinks red when heater is on. NOTE:  To use the HDD heater feature, the MTCCTRL driver supplied with your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).  Make sure the “HDD Heater” item is set properly in the SCU program. (See “Advanced Menu” in chapter 5 for information.) CAUTION:  Make regular backups of your data files from your hard disk drive to USB disks or other storage media.  Never try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is powered on. Doing so can result in loss of data, and can damage the computer and the hard disk drive’s sensitive circuitry.  Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator is on. Replacing the Hard Disk Drive To replace the hard disk drive: 4. Make sure that system power is off. 5. Remove the battery pack (see chapter 3 for details). 6. Locate the hard disk drive slot on the left side of the system. 2-14 Operating Your Computer

Using the Optical Drive Depending on the model, your computer comes with a CD, Combo drive, or DVD dual recorder located on the left side of the computer. This drive is usually configured as drive D. The drive uses removable 5.25-inch silver discs, which look like standard music discs. It is an ideal medium to use for distributing multimedia because of the huge amount of data that a disc can store. Depending on the model, your drive is one of the following:  CD drive can read CDs, audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.  Combo drive can work both as a CD drive (reading DVD discs in addition to CDs, audio CDs and CD-R/-RW discs), and also as a CD recorder (writing to CD-R/-RW discs).  DVD Dual drive besides the Combo drive function, can write to DVD+R/+RW/-R/-RW discs. NOTE: If the CD/Combo/DVD Dual drive would be operating for more than half an hour (such as showing a DVD title), use the AC power source instead of the battery. If not, the battery may run out of power before the operation is complete. CAUTION:  When inserting a disc, do not use force.  Make sure the disc is correctly inserted into the tray, and then close the tray.  Do not leave the CD tray open. Also, avoid touching the lens in the tray with your hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the disc may malfunction.  Do not wipe the lens using materials with rough surface (such as paper towel). Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe the lens. FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices: “Caution, Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.” NOTE: The CD/Combo/DVD Dual drive is classified as a Class 1 laser product. This label is located on the drive. Operating Your Computer 2-17

CHAPTER 3 Managing Power Your computer operates either on external AC power or 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:  What is an AC adapter  How to charge the battery pack  When and how to initialize the battery pack  How to check the battery level  How to replace the battery pack  What happens when the battery is low and what actions to take  What is Power Management  How to save power
AC Adapter CAUTION:  The AC adapter is designed for use with your computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.  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.  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.  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 AC adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100 ~ 240 V AC. 3-2 Managing Power
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:  Charging will not start if the battery pack’s temperature is or above 60 °C (140 °F).  The charging process will stop and the Battery Charge Indicator flashes amber and green alternatively when the battery’s temperature gets above 60 °C (140 °F). If this happens, the battery pack may be damaged. Please contact your dealer.  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 amber 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 glows green. The charging times are as follows: Charging Time Battery Type Computer is Off Computer is On and in Idle State as well as when Computer is Off and battery pack’s temperature gets above 45 °C (113 °F) 7200 mAh / 11.1 V 2.5 hours (150 minutes) 5.8 hours (350 minutes) 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. Managing Power 3-3
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. Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. 1. Make sure the computer power is turned off. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack. 2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the computer. 3. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the battery is fully discharged. The computer will shut down automatically, depending on your settings in Windows. 4. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack. Checking the Battery Level When two batteries exist on the system, the battery’s discharge sequence is from the optional secondary battery (located on the optical drive bay) to the primary battery (located on the right side). When the battery charge on the optional secondary battery falls below 9.1 V, then power usage will switch to the primary battery. When the battery charge on the primary battery falls below 9.1 V, then system will shutdown. 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. 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.) 3-4 Managing Power
Replacing the Primary Battery Pack CAUTION:  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.  Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. To replace the primary battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the computer is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Locate the battery slot on the right side of the system. 3. Open the slot cover by pressing on both sides of the release latch using your thumb and index fingers. 4. Pull on the ribbon strip to remove the battery pack and replace it with a new one. Managing Power 3-5
5. Slide the new battery pack all the way into the slot. Make sure to observe the correct orientation (the ribbon strip must face outward for future battery back removal). 6. Close the slot cover to secure the battery pack. Installing the Secondary 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 install the secondary battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the computer is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Locate the optical drive slot on the left side of the system. 3. Gently place the computer upside down. 4. Open the slot cover by pressing on both sides of the release latch using your thumb and index fingers. 5. Lift up the handle of the optical drive release knob and turn it counter-clockwise. 3-6 Managing Power
6. The optical drive will slide out partially. Gently pull on it to remove it. 7. Slide the secondary battery pack all the way into the slot. Make sure to observe the correct orientation (the ribbon strip must face outward for future battery pack removal). 8. Close the slot cover to secure the secondary battery NOTE: The system supports the secondary battery hot-swap function, providing you the ability to replace the battery even during system on. Hot swap means that you can remove the secondary battery pack and replace it with another one without significant interruption to the system (without turning off the system). 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 messages and the Battery Power Indicator ( ) blinks amber (orange) 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, hard or optical drives, PC card, the battery might run out of charge very quickly. Managing Power 3-7
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on 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. CAUTION:  If you are using a flash 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.  If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you lose your data. 3-8 Managing Power
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 2000 and 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 Fn+F10. * When you close the cover. * The computer enters 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 power button. * When you press Fn+F10. * The computer enters Hibernation mode. (See the next subsection for more information.) When you close the cover. * * depends on your settings in Windows. For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help. Managing Power 3-9
Hibernation 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 system 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 shut down. The next time you turn on your computer, you return to exactly where you left off. 3-10 Managing Power
Power-Saving Tips In addition to your computer’s automatic power management, you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these suggestions.  Do not disable Power Management.  Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.  Disable the parallel and serial ports if no devices are connected to these ports. (See “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5.)  If you work with an application that features wireless connectivity (LAN/modem/GPS/Bluetooth), exit the application when you finish using it.  If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC cards drain power even while they are inactive.  Turn off the computer when you are not using it. Managing Power 3-11

Store the key in a safe place. 7-2 Caring for the Computer
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy New viruses are always being developed nowadays and they are attacking computers even more easily with emails so commonly used worldwide. You can also install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files. Caring for the Computer 7-3
Taking Care of the Computer Location Guidelines  Use the computer where the temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F).  Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.  Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.  Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.  Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) will cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.  Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface. General Guidelines  Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage the display.  The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the display. Avoid touching it with a ballpoint pen or pencil.  To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working. 7-4 Caring for the Computer
Cleaning Guidelines  Never clean the computer with its power on.  Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the computer.  Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on the display.  Dust on the IR port can interfere with data transfer. Wipe the port with a soft, dry cloth.  Dust or grease on the touchscreen can affect its sensitivity. Clean the touchscreen by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface. Battery Pack Guidelines  Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack.  Operate the computer with the battery pack installed even when using external power. This ensures that the battery is fully charged.  If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (more than two weeks), remove the battery pack from the computer.  If you remove the battery pack, make sure the battery terminals do not contact any conductors such as metal objects or water. Otherwise, the battery may become unusable as a result of a short circuit.  If you need to store the battery pack, store it in a cool, dry place. Never allow the temperature to exceed 70 °C (158 °F).  Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than 3 months without recharging it. Caring for the Computer 7-5
When Traveling  Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into USB disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data.  Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.  Make sure the computer is turned off.  Do not leave objects that will press onto the display.  Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.  Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage.  Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect electronic devices carefully.  If you need to leave the computer in the car, put it in the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.  When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the computer and USB disk through the X-ray machine (the device you set your bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the magnetic wand (the hand-held device used by security personnel).  If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination. 7-6 Caring for the Computer
