 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 and optical disc. 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. Your computer may use the Microsoft Windows Vista or XP operating system. Stopping the Computer When you finish a working session, you can stop the computer by turning off the power or leaving the computer in Sleep/Standby or Hibernation mode: To stop in this mode...  Do this...  To start up or resume again Off Click Start  Shut Down … . 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. Sleep/ Standby Depending on your settings in Windows, you can place the computer in Sleep/ Standby mode by: •  Closing the display cover • Pressing the Fn+F12 hot key •  Pressing the power button Press any key.
 Operating Your Computer  2-3 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 the power button Press the power button.  If you choose to stop in Sleep/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 Quick Buttons Located on top of the keyboard are two quick buttons:    P1 (Program 1 – user customized) quick launch button (P1). Default is Microsoft® Internet Explorer. See chapter 6 for more details.   ECO button (   ) to enter into power saving mode when using battery power. The system will turn down the panel backlight and sacrifice processing speed to gain more battery life. NOTE: The ECO button works only when using battery power.
 Operating Your Computer  2-5 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:   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, 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.
 Operating Your Computer  2-6 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:
 Operating Your Computer  2-7 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. 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.
 Operating Your Computer  2-8 Key  Description  Switches the wireless LAN radio on and off.  Decreases the sound volume.  Increases the sound volume.  Switches the display output to one of the following when external devices are connected. Upon booting the system with CRT:  NOTE: This function only applies to Plug & Play display devices.  Decreases the LCD brightness.  Increases the LCD brightness.  Switches the touchpad off and on (depending on your model).  Switches the system sound output off (mute) and on.  Switches LCD display on and off.  Serves as the sleep button that you can define with Windows’ Power Options. (See the “Power Management” in Chapter 3.)
 Operating Your Computer  2-9 Euro Symbol You can press the euro dollar sign   on various keyboards.   To press the euro sign on a United States-International keyboard, hold down the Alt Gr key and press 5 (which has an euro sign on it).   To press the euro sign on a standard United States keyboard, hold down either of the Alt keys and type 0128 on the numeric keypad part 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.)
 Operating Your Computer  2-10 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 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  2-11 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 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.
 Operating Your Computer  2-12 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 vice versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on. To configure the touchpad if you are using Windows Vista, go to Control Panel  Hardware and Sounds  Mouse Properties. If you are using Windows XP, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver. 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.)
 Operating Your Computer  2-13 Using the DVD Drive (Optional) You can connect an external DVD drive, usually configured as drive D to your computer.

 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:   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  CHAPTER
 Managing Power  3-2 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.
 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:   Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 45 °C (113 °F).   The charging process will stop and the Battery Charge Indicator flashes red 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 red 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. The charging times are as follows: Charging Time Battery Type  Computer is Off  Computer is On and in Idle State 3-cell (2600 mAH) 3 hours  3.3 hours 6-cell (5200 mAH) 4 hours  4.6 hours
 Managing Power  3-4 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. 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 that 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. When the message “Click mouse or press Enter for Menu” appears, click the touchpad’s left button or press the Enter key to invoke the program. 3.  A small window appears, select “Launch System Setup.” 4.  Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the battery is fully discharged. The computer will shut down automatically. 5.  Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack. 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.
 Managing Power  3-5 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 Vista, click the   icon on the system tray. To read the battery level in Windows XP, click the   icon on the taskbar. (Click the   icon if the computer is using AC power.) By Gas Gauge On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the computer and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator segment that light green. The value of the corresponding green segment indicates the relative percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when you see no segment glowing green.  Replacing the 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.  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. Switch
 Managing Power  3-6 To replace the battery pack, follow these steps: 1.  Make sure that the computer is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2.  Place the computer upside down. 3.  Slide the battery security lock outward to the unlock (  ) position (). 4.  Slide the battery release lever outward to the unlock (   ) position () and, while holding it in the unlock position, remove the battery pack off the computer ().  5.  Fit another battery pack into place and slide the battery security lock to the lock (  ) position.
 Managing Power  3-7 Battery Low Signals and Actions For Windows XP Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10 % (Windows default setting) of its charge remaining. The computer gives warning beeps or messages. NOTE: You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under Windows XP.  For Windows Vista The battery icon   changes appearance to display the current state of the battery so that you can see how much charge remains (Windows default setting). When the battery charge is above 25 % the battery icon is green. When the battery charge reaches 25 % a yellow triangle with an exclamation point (!) appears above the green battery icon. When the charge reaches the low battery level a red circle with a white “X” appears above the green icon. The computer’s Battery Charge Indicator (   ) blinks amber to alert you to take actions. 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 Hibernation mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC adapter. CAUTION:   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.   If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you lose your data.
 Managing Power  3-8 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/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+F12 hot key. * When you close the cover. * The computer enters the Sleep/ Standby mode. The hard disk and display are turned off and the entire system consumes less power. When you press the power button. * When the entire system has been idle for a set period. When you press the Fn+F12 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  3-9 Hibernation NOTE:   When using Windows Vista, make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the “When I press the power button,” “When I press the sleep button,” and “When I close the lid” of the Power Options  System Settings Properties from the Control Panel  Mobile PC.   When using Windows XP, make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the Hibernate tab of the Power Options Properties from the Control Panel.  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  3-10 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.   Do not disable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves power when using Windows Vista. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how your computer manages power.   Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.   Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.   Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.   If you work with an application that uses a PC card, 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.   Deactivate the WLAN function if you are not using it. (See Chapter 2.)   Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless function if you are not using it. (See Chapter 2.)   Turn off the computer when you are not using it.

Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed:   Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.   Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.   Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged. Use in specific environments:   The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.   The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
 Regulatory Information  B-7   The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital. Antenna use:   In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all persons.   High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements. Explosive Device Proximity Warning WARNING: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use. Antenna Warning WARNING: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm (8 inches). Use on Aircraft Caution CAUTION: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
