1-5 Preface Regulations Information FCC-B Radio Frequency Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help. NOTE  The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
1-6 Preface  Shield interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission limits. FCC Conditions This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

1-7 Preface Safety Instructions Read the safety instructions carefully and thoroughly. All cautions and warnings on the equipment or user’s manual should be noted. Keep the User’s Guide that comes with the package for future reference. Keep this equipment away from humidity and high temperature. Lay this equipment on a stable surface before setting it up. The openings on the enclosure are used for air convection and to prevent the equipment from overheating. Do not cover the openings. Make sure the power voltage is within safety range and has been adjusted properly to the value of 100~240V before connecting the equipment to the power outlet. Never pour liquid into the opening that could damage the equipment or cause an electrical shock. Do not leave the equipment in an unconditioned environment with a storage temperature above 60OC (140OF) or below 0OC (32OF), which may damage the equipment.
1-8 Preface Place the power cord in a way that people are unlikely to step on it. Do not place anything on top of the power cord. Always unplug the power cord before inserting any add-on card or module. To prevent explosion caused by improper battery replacement, use the same or equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer only. When installing the coaxial cable to the TV Tuner, it is necessary to ensure that the metal shield is reliable connected to protective earthing system of the building. Always keep the battery in a safe place. Always keep the strong magnetic or electrical objects away from the equipment. If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by a service personnel:  The power cord or plug is damaged.  Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.  The equipment has been exposed to moisture.  The equipment has not worked well or you can not get it work according to User’s Manual.  The equipment was dropped and damaged.  The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.

3-9Getting Started Using the Battery Pack Battery Safety Tips Replacing or handling the battery incorrectly may present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury.  Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of battery.  Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to temperatures above +60° C (+140° F).  Do not temper with batteries. Keep away from the reach of children.  Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.  Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or for proper disposal in your area. Conserving Battery Power Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost. To optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss, read the tips below:  Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the suspend timer’s time period.  Turn off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.  Disable unnecessary settings or remove idle peripherals.  Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.
3-10Getting Started Charging the Battery Pack The battery pack can be recharged while it is installed in the notebook.

However, to optimize the life of battery, we suggest that consuming the battery power completely once a month is necessary.  If you do not use the notebook for a long time, it is suggested to remove the battery pack from your notebook. This may be helpful to extend your battery life.  The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.
