Operating Your Computer 2-7
Using the Internal 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, NumLk, and ScrLk) 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.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg1d.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-8
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:
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg1e.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-9
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.
You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the
keytop. The hot keys are described next.

![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg21.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-12
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:
z Press Fn+F9 to toggle the touchpad on or off.
z 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.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg22.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-13
Term Action
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 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.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg23.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-14
To configure the touchpad, go to Control Panel Æ Hardware and
Sounds Æ Mouse Properties. However, you can install the touchpad
driver supplied with your computer to take advantage of more powerful
features. (For information on installing the driver, see “How to Use the
Driver Disc” in Chapter 6.).
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg24.png)
Operating Your Computer 2-15
Using the Touchscreen (Optional)

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.

CHAPTER
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg36.png)
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.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg37.png)
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.
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.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg38.png)
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.
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.

from your dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup.
![](/img.php?id=813459&img=bg39.png)
Managing Power 3-5
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 Vista,
power supply to different computer components is controlled on an
as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and
performance at the same time.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
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 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.
