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, you may choose to read
only the parts containing information unique to your computer.
CAUTION:
 Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very hot
or cold environment.
 The computer can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high
temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not
place the computer on your lap or touch it with your bare hands for
extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort
and potentially a burn.
Operating Your Computer
2-1
Using the Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus an 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 and Num 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
Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.
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.
2-2
Operating Your Computer
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:
 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.
Operating Your Computer
2-3
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.
Key
Description

2-5
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 softwarespecific 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.)
2-6
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:
 Press Fn+F9 to toggle the touchpad on or off.
 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.
Operating Your Computer
2-7
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the
touchpad:

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.
Managing Power
3-1
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 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

“Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F)
or above 40 °C (104 °F).
 The charging process will stop when the battery’s temperature gets
above 60 °C (140 °F). The Battery Charge Indicator turns off in this state.
Once the battery’s temperature drops within the safe range, charging
will automatically resume with the Battery Charge Indicator glowing
amber.
 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

Caring for the
Computer
Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and
reduce the risk of damage to your computer.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing,
cleaning, and traveling.
Caring for the Computer
7-1
Protecting the Computer
To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer
itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this
section.
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that
could damage your files.
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against
theft. The cable lock is available in most computer stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a
table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure
the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
7-2
Caring for the Computer
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines

For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended
temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F) – actual operating
temperature depending on product specifications.

Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust. Using the computer in extreme environments for long periods can
result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.

Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.

Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the
computer on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong
impact by dropping or hitting may damage the computer.

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.

As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away
from objects that are vulnerable to heat.

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.

Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
Caring for the Computer
7-3
General Guidelines

Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very hot
or cold environment.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as
this may damage the display.

The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean
the display but use the included soft cloth.

LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the
screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by
limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended
that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use.

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight
to automatically turn off as a result of power management.
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 or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad by
using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.

If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when
possible. Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the
computer wet when you can dry it.

If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0°C (32°F) or below,
freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.
7-4
Caring for the Computer
Battery Pack Guidelines

Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging,
make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid
harm to the battery pack.

The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions
will shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition

To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby
prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so
as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.

Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C (50 °F ~ 86 °F)
temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed
vehicle and in hot weather condition.
Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed
temperature range.

It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than
once a day.

It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the computer’s
power off.

To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool
dark place removed from the computer and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge
remaining.

Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is
in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss
of data or the computer may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
Caring for the Computer
7-5
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly
affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
computer in sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.

When using battery power in an extremely low temperature
environment, you may experience shortened operating time and
incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the
chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122 °F).

Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months
without recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines

Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or
metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and
damage the display, thereby causing errors.

Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface
has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not
using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on
the touchscreen surface.

Turn off the computer power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the
display with the power on may cause improper operation.

Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid moving the computer
while holding the display or twisting the display. Avoid placing objects
on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby
damaging the display.

Using the touchscreen during low temperature (less than 5 oC) may cause
a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be
restored upon returning to room temperature.
7-6
Caring for the Computer

When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen
function (wrong location on intended operation or improper display
resolution), refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on
recalibrating the touchscreen display.
Caring for the Computer
7-7
When Traveling

Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk
data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution,
bring along an extra copy of your important data.

Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.

Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely
closed.

Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure
the waterproof integrity.

Do not leave objects in between the keyboard and closed 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.

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 flash disks 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 handheld 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.
