IMPORTANT! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines
(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people
walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on
people or individual items). You can send your Laptop and diskettes through airport
X-ray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Laptop or
diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and
any optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power
adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an
AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack
when the Laptop is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Laptop on the airplane. Most airlines will
have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use
only between and not during takeoffs and landings.

Power System
Using AC Power
The Laptop power is comprised of two
parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system. The power adapter
converts AC power from a wall outlet to
the DC power required by the Laptop.
Your Laptop comes with a universal
AC-DC adapter. That means that you
may connect the power cord to any
100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets
without setting switches or using power
converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the
provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide
universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages.
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Laptop or
use the Laptop’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning
scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing
if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and
the Laptop with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This Laptop may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on
territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a
properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Laptop DO NOT remove the
grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the
appropriate type, two-prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Laptop that includes power and modem adapters
for almost every country.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power
cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug
WRWKH /DSWRS &RQQHFWLQJWKH$&'& DGDSWHU WRWKH$& RXWOHW ¿UVW DOORZV \RX WR
test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems
before connecting the DC power to the Laptop. The power indicator on the adapter
(if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges. If you use a power strip
with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in
to the power strip does not exceed the ampere rating of the power strip.

short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is
any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact,
turn OFF the Laptop and contact an authorized service center.
Battery Care
The Laptop’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number
times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your
environment temperature, humidity, and how your Laptop is used. It is ideal that the
EDWWHU\EHXVHGLQDWHPSHUDWXUHUDQJHEHWZHHQÛ&DQGÛ&Û)DQGÛ)<RX
must also take into account that the Laptop’s internal temperature is higher than the
outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life
of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease
and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Laptop.
Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.
Using Battery Power
The Laptop is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack
consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide
several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power
management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery packs are optional
and can be purchased separately through a Laptop retailer.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Laptop may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your Laptop does not
have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.

23
Getting Started 3
NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the
low battery warnings, the Laptop eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default
uses STR).
WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is
depleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small
amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion
or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
NOTE: Screen captures
shown here are examples
only and may not reflect
what you see in your
system.
Checking Battery Power
The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows
environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge
left in the battery. A fully-charged battery pack provides the Laptop a few hours of
ZRUNLQJSRZHU%XWWKHDFWXDO¿JXUHYDULHVGHSHQGLQJRQKRZ\RXXVHWKHSRZHU
saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the
size of the display panel.
WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge
over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three
months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.
NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery
voltage is too high.
Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Laptop on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack.
The battery pack begins to charge as soon as the Laptop is connected to external
power using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for
WKH ¿UVW WLPH$ QHZ EDWWHU\ SDFN PXVW FRPSOHWHO\ FKDUJH EHIRUH WKH /DSWRS LV
disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery
when the Laptop is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Laptop is
turned ON. The battery status indicator on the Laptop turns OFF when the battery
pack is charged.

Power Management Modes
The Laptop has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that
you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You
can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup.
ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The
power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible
by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible
but also allow full operation on demand.
Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Laptop’s thermal state.

Down” for closing the display panel or pressing
the power button. “Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves
power when your Laptop is not in use by turning
OFF certain components. When you resume your
work, your last status (such as a document scrolled
down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. “Shut Down”
will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved.
Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current
data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM
is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. Click the power icon in the
Settings menu of the Windows sidebar to see this option. You can also use the

Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and
status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically
refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated
because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered.
“Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”. Click the power icon in the
Settings menu of the Windows sidebar to see this option. Recover by pressing the
power button. (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode.)

NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap
the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the
touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.
Caring for the Touchpad
The touchpad is pressure sensitive. If not properly cared for, it can be easily
damaged. Take note of the following precautions.

Optical Drive
Using the Optical Drive
Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise
mechanics involved. Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your disc
suppliers. Unlike desktop optical drives, the Laptop uses a hub to hold the disc in place
regardless of the angle. When inserting a disc, it is important that the disc be pressed
onto the center hub or else the optical drive tray will scratch the disc.
WARNING! If the disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the disc can be
damaged when the tray is closed. Always watch the disc closely while closing the
tray slowly to prevent damage. DO NOT exert pressure on ODD tray.
An optical drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a disc in the
drive. After the disc is properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk
drives; except that nothing can be written to or changed on the disc. Using the proper
software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive can allow CD-RW discs to be used
like a hard drive with writing, deleting, and editing capabilities.
Vibration is normal for high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced discs or prints.
To decrease vibration, use the Laptop on an even surface and do not place labels
on the disc.
Emergency eject
The emergency eject is located in a hole on the optical drive and is used to eject the
optical drive tray in case the electronic eject does not work. Do not use the emergency
eject in place of the electronic eject. Note: Make sure not to stab the activity indicator
located in the same area.
Actual location will
vary by model.

4 Using the Laptop
IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying,
formatting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur.
Flash Memory Card Reader
Normally a memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use
memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones,
DQG3'$V7KLV/DSWRSKDVDEXLOWLQPHPRU\FDUGUHDGHUWKDWFDQXVHPDQ\ÀDVK
memory cards as shown in the example below. The built-in memory card reader is
not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers
because it utilizes the internal high-bandwidth PCI bus.
IMPORTANT! Flash memory card compatibility varies depending on Laptop model
DQGÀDVKPHPRU\FDUGVSHFL¿FDWLRQV)ODVKPHPRU\FDUGVSHFL¿FDWLRQVFRQVWDQWO\

Using the Laptop 4
Example of the Laptop connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-
in Ethernet controller.
Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network
port on the Laptop and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000
BASE-T speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with
twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be
connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T,
use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on
this Laptop but requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled.
The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.
1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.

4 Using the Laptop
This is an example of the Laptop connected to a
Wireless Network.
Wireless LAN Connection
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet
adapter. Implementing the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the
optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional
built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.11 standards
allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports an Infrastructure
PRGHJLYLQJ\RXÀH[LELOLW\RQ\RXUH[LVWLQJRUIXWXUHZLUHOHVVQHWZRUNFRQ¿JXUDWLRQV
for distances up to 40 meters between the client and the access point.
7RSURYLGHHI¿FLHQWVHFXULW\WR\RXUZLUHOHVVFRPPXQLFDWLRQWKHRSWLRQDOEXLOWLQ
wireless LAN comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption
and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) features.
Infrastructure mode
The Infrastructure mode allows the Laptop
and other wireless devices to join a wireless
network created by an Access Point (AP)
(sold separately) that provides a central
link for wireless clients to communicate with
each other or with a wired network.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wireless LAN
adapters.)
CAUTION: DO NOT use wireless LAN on hospital premises or near a pacemaker,
doing so may cause medical devices to malfunction. DO NOT use wireless LAN on
an aircraft, as doing so may cause the aircraft’s equipment to malfunction.
