Slide the battery pack into the bay. (insert diagrams) Figure 1-6. Installing the Battery Pack 5. Replace the cover. The locking latch should click into the locked position. Connecting to AC Power Use only the AC adapter supplied with the computer. Using incorrect AC adapters will damage the battery pack and the computer. 1. Make sure the Qbe is turned off. 2. Plug the DC power cord of the AC adapter into the AC power jack (on the left side of the computer) 3. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC adapter and the male end into an electrical outlet. 1-12 Getting Started (insert diagram) Figure 1-7. Connecting the AC Adapter When disconnecting the AC adapter, unplug from the electrical outlet first and then from the computer. A reverse procedure could damage the AC adapter or computer. Using Battery Power You can operate the Qbe using battery power only. However, before you first use battery power, you should initialize the battery pack. (See Chapter on “Initializing the Battery Pack”) Getting Started 1-13 Starting Up The Qbe starts up with the Windows operating system It automatically loads the OS after you turn it on.

If POST detects any error, you will be asked to reconfigure the computer using the SCU program. 4. When POST successfully completes the check, the Qbe first tries to boot from drive C, or the CD-ROM depending on the "Boot Device” setting in the SCU program. (Default setting is Hard Disk C.) During booting up, you can change the booting device by pressing [Space] bar the moment the message “System will Boot from C:”, Pressto change Boot Device or Run Setup” appears at the bottom of the screen. As a precaution, always boot from drive C. If you are expressly booting from drive A, make sure the diskette is virus free. 1-14 Getting Started 5. After booting up, the Qbe is ready to execute any command. Adjusting the Display You attain display clarity by: Installing Software Drivers A driver CD and/or supplement diskettes are supplied with your Qbe. You need to install drivers for some special features of your Qbe to take effect. (See Chapter on Driver Information) Turning Off the Qbe Do not turn off the computer when the disk drive indicator is on. You may lose your data by doing so. 1. Make sure to save your data before exiting the program. 2. Remove any CD-ROM. 3. With Windows 98 that only provides the “Shut Down” command, simply select this command. The computer will turn off automatically. Otherwise, press the power button. The computer will enter PowerOn-Suspend, Suspend-to-Disk, or power off mode depending on the “Power Button Function” setting in the SCU program. (Default setting is PowerOn Suspend.)

To disconnect the AC adapter, unplug from the electrical outlet first and then from the Qbe. 1-16 Getting Started Taking Care of Your Personal Computing Tablet With good care, you will enjoy long and trouble free operation. Precautions • Avoid a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, heavy dust, or magnetic fields. • Keep all liquids away from the PCT. Never place any beverage on top of the PCT. • Do not abruptly move the PCT from a cold location to a warm one where the temperature difference exceeds 10°C (18°F). Doing so could cause condensation inside the unit and damage the storage media. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the PCT as this may damage the display. • To protect the PCT from overheating, do not cover the ventilation openings. • Turn off the PCT and remove the battery pack before installing or removing a device. Battery Precautions • Keep the battery pack away from fire and water. • Do not short-circuit the battery pack with conductors such as metal objects and liquids. • Do not place the battery pack where the temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F). • Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Getting Started 1-17 Traveling with the PCT • Make sure the battery pack is fully charged. • Make sure the Qbe is turned off. • Use the AC adapter as the power source whenever possible. • Hand-carry the Qbe. NEVER check it in as luggage. • As an added precaution, before traveling with your Qbe, make a backup of all your important data. • Before traveling abroad with the Qbe, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord to be used in the country of your destination. • Make sure to take along with you a handy, but good quality, adapter plug, especially when traveling in Europe. This could be useful in hotels or when commuting by certain high speed trains with facilities for businessmen. 1-18 Getting Started
