WHICH CONTAINS IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE
USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Note: This ruggedized notebook is intended for general population, consumer or similar
use; where users are not necessarily aware of the potential for exposure and may not
exercise control over their exposure.
This product safety section includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful
instructions on how to control your RF exposures.
For additional information on exposure requirements or other training information, visit
http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth.
Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
ruggedized notebook and/or integrated radios in any facility where posted notices instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your ruggedized notebook and/or integrated radios
when on board an aircraft. Any use of a notebook or radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
iv
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Keep the antennas of this data terminal at least 8 inches or 20cm away from any person’s
body. Along with ensuring compliance with the RF energy exposure limits (as instructed
in the RF Energy Exposure section previously), this separation distance meets or exceeds
the distance recommendation of pacemaker manufacturers and the FCC to avoid
interference with pacemakers.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Driver Safety
Always abide by the laws and regulations on the use of computers and/or integrated radios
in the area where you drive.
When using your notebook and/or radio while driving, please:
•
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Pull off the road and park before using the equipment if driving conditions so
require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a ruggedized notebook in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a ruggedized notebook is placed in
the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the notebook may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your ruggedized notebook prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your ruggedized
notebook when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted:
"Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use the integrated radios of any ruggedized notebook that has a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive
materials such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite
hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

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, Num Lk, and Scroll Lk) are pressed, their
corresponding indicators light up.
The Control key is normally used in combination with other keys for
program-specific functions. The Alternate key is normally used in
combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape
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.
2-4
Operating Your Computer
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
2-5
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.
NOTES:
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.
Euro Symbol
You can press the Euro dollar sign
on the keyboard.
To press the Euro sign on the keyboard, hold down either of the Alt
keys and type 0128 on the numeric keypad 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.
Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs
The
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.)
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.
2-6
Operating Your Computer
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.

Using the Touchpad
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may
damage the touchpad surface.
NOTES:
By default, the touchpad is disabled. Use the Fn+F7 hot keys to enable/disable this
function. The touchpad indicator found on the keyboard panel glows red when it is
disabled.
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 four 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.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the
touchpad:
Operating Your Computer

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.
2-10
Operating Your Computer
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 vise versa. You can also
change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so
on.
To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM
PS/2 driver if you are using Windows. 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 CD” in Chapter 6.)
This section needs to be looked at.

Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with a hard disk drive as drive C. A hard disk drive
is a storage device with non-removable, rotating, magnetic storage
platters inside it. It is where your operating system and application
software programs are stored.
Your hard disk drive is a 2.5-inch IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard
disk drive. This type of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable mass
storage by integrating all the control circuitry necessary for operation
directly onto the drive itself. This allows the drive manufacturer to
carefully optimize drive performance.
AC in /
HDD heater on
indicator
The system comes with a built-in heater that automatically turns on for
low temperature operation. The AC in / HDD heater on indicator blinks
red when heater is on. In low temperature environments, the user is
recommended to operate the system using AC power to conserve battery
life.
CAUTION:
Make regular backups of your data files from your hard disk drive to CD discs or
other storage media.
Never try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is powered on.
Doing so can result in loss of data, and can damage the computer and the hard disk
drive’s sensitive circuitry.
Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator is on.
Operating Your Computer
2-13
Using the DVD/Combo/DVD Dual Drive
Depending on the model, your computer comes with a DVD, Combo, or
DVD Dual drive located on the right side of the computer. This drive is
usually configured as drive D.
The drive uses removable 5.25-inch silver discs, which look like standard
music CDs. It is an ideal medium to use for distributing multimedia
because of the huge amount of data that a disc can store.
Depending on the model, your drive is one of the following:
DVD drive can read DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) discs in addition
to CDs, audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.
Combo drive can work both as a DVD drive and CD-RW drive.
DVD Dual drive aside from working as a Combo drive, can also
write to DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs.
NOTE: If the DVD/Combo/DVD Dual drive would be operating for more than half an
hour (such as showing a DVD title), use the AC power source instead of the battery. If
not, the battery may run out of power before the operation is complete.
CAUTION:
1. When inserting a disc, do not use force.
2. Make sure the disc is correctly inserted into the tray, and then close the tray.
3. Do not leave the DVD tray open. Also, avoid touching the lens in the tray with your
hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the drive may malfunction.
4. Do not wipe the lens using materials with rough surface (such as paper towel).
Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe the lens.
FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices:
“Caution, Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.”

Using the GPS (option)
Navigation and positioning are crucial to so many activities and yet the
process has always been quite cumbersome. To try to figure out where
you are and where you are going, you need GPS technology.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation
system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground
stations. GPS uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate
positions accurate to a matter of meters. In fact, with advanced forms of
GPS you can make measurements to better than a centimeter! In a sense it
is like giving every square meter on the planet a unique address.
Here's how GPS works in five logical steps:
The basis of GPS is "triangulation" from satellites.
To "triangulate," a GPS receiver measures distance using the travel
time of radio signals.
To measure travel time, GPS needs very accurate timing that it
achieves with some tricks.
Along with distance, you need to know exactly where the satellites are
in space. High orbits and careful monitoring are the secret.
Finally you must correct for any delays the signal experiences as it
travels through the atmosphere.
Five broad categories of GPS application:
Location – determining a basic position
Navigation – getting from one location to another
Tracking – monitoring the movement of people and things
Mapping – creating maps of the world
Timing – bringing precise timing to the world

Operating Your Computer
check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their
compatibility with your computer.
NOTES:
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check
with your local authorities or service provider.
Features using Bluetooth technology, or allowing such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power and
reduces the battery life.
Bluetooth technology enables wireless connections between electronic
devices. A Bluetooth connection can be used to send files or to connect
wirelessly to compatible devices using Bluetooth technology, such as
cellular phones and PDAs.
Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using radio
waves, your computer and the other devices do not need to be in direct
line-of-sight. Your computer and the other device only need to be within
a maximum of 10 meters of each other, although the connection can be
subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or from other
electronic devices.

Managing Power
Your computer operates either on external AC power or 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
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 AC 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 using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals,
you will experience a shorter operating time. In low temperature
environments, the user is recommended to turn on the system using AC
power
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the “Battery
Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTES:
Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below -5 °C (23 °F) or above
46 °C (115 °F).
The thermal protection of battery pack is 75 °C (167°F) for both Charge and
discharger mode. In any case, once the temperature of battery pack reach to
75°C(167°F), the battery pack will cut off the output and input MOSFET
immediately, the means is battery stop the charge and discharge. 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. Battery status indicator (
) will light amber when
battery is charging, and light green when battery is charged full. Battery
low indicator will blink amber when battery capacity is below 10
percentages.
It takes approximately 180 minutes (3 hours) to charge the battery pack
when the computer is off and 240 minutes (4 hours) to fully charge the
battery pack when the computer is on.
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.
Managing Power
3-3
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 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.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the
battery is fully discharged. The computer will shut down
automatically.
4. 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.
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows,
click the
icon on the taskbar. (Click the
icon if the computer is
using AC power.)

Battery Low Signals and Actions
Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10% (Windows
default setting) of its charge remaining. The computer gives warning
beeps or messages and the Battery Power Indicator (
) blinks amber
(orange) to alert you to take actions.
NOTE: You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under Windows.
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, hard or DVD/Combo/DVD Dual drives, the battery
might run out of charge very quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on Standby or
Hibernation mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC
adapter.
If you do not take any action, the computer will automatically hibernate
and turn off.
CAUTION: If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge,
then you lose your data.

Managing Power
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 2000 and
Windows 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:

Standard Calibration
The Standard Calibration function lets you match the touch screen to your
display so that the point you touch is accurately tracked on screen. Standard
calibration only requires four points for calibration and one point for
confirmation. Under normal circumstances Standard Calibration is all you need
to perform an accurate calibration.

The Advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by
using more involved engineering calculations. Use this function only if you
have tried the Standard Calibration and there is still a discrepancy in the way
the touch screen maps to the display. You can choose 4, 9, 16 or 25 points to
calibrate, though we suggest that you first try 9 points, if it is still not tracking
well then try 16 or 25 points. The more points you use for calibration, the

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 these areas of maintenance:
How to protect the computer
What to note when using and storing the computer
How to clean the computer
What to note when using the battery pack
What to note when traveling with the computer
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 the Password
The power-on password protects your computer against unauthorized
use. If the password is set, the prompt requesting for the password
appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on.
The password is set via the SCU program. See “Security Menu” in
Chapter 5 for instructions.
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
New viruses are always being developed nowadays and they are attacking
computers even more easily with emails so commonly used worldwide.
The Security feature of the SCU program protects the boot sector of the
hard disk. To enable the function, see “Security Menu” in Chapter 5 for
instructions.
You can also install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential
viruses that could damage your files.
7-2
Caring for the Computer
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
Use the computer where the temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and
50 °C (122 °F).
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust.
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 which may result
in damage to the computer.
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.
Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) will cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may
damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to
clean the display. Avoid touching it with a ballpoint pen or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the
backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power
management from working.
Caring for the Computer
7-3
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 on the IR/Bluetooth port can interfere with data transfer. Wipe
the port with a soft, dry cloth.
Dust or grease on the touchscreen can affect its sensitivity. Clean the
touchscreen by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on
its surface.
Battery Pack Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When
recharging, make sure the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so
may avoid harm to the battery pack.
Operate the computer with the battery pack installed even when using
external power. This ensures that the battery is fully charged.
If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (more
than two weeks), remove the battery pack from the computer.
If you remove the battery pack, make sure the battery terminals do
not contact any conductors such as metal objects or water. Otherwise,
the battery may become unusable as a result of a short circuit.
If you need to store the battery pack, store it in a cool, dry place.
Never allow the temperature to exceed 70 °C (158 °F).
Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than 3 months
without recharging it.
7-4
Caring for the Computer
When Traveling
Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard
disk data into optical discs or other storage devices. As an added
precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data.
Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure the computer is turned off.
Do not leave objects that will press onto the 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.
Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect
electronic devices carefully.
When going through airport security, it is recommended that you
send the computer and USB 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 hand-held 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.

Fingerprint Recognition System
Your system features a fingerprint recognition system designed for
computer security. It provides a high level of user convenience and gives
you a set of powerful tools for securing your computer and protecting
your private data. The system can:
•
display fingerprint images derived from the sensor IC
•
enroll new users
•
extract fingerprint templates from raw images, and store them in a
local database
•
match live-scan fingerprints against the local database
Finger Placement
When placing a finger to be enrolled or identified, slide the cover to
expose the sensor matrix surface, then use a light, but firm and steady
pressure.
Avoid moving your finger during the scan, and be sure that you are
making contact with the “sensor matrix” and with the surrounding drive
ring (the light-colored surface surrounding the matrix). The system works
best when it has a “core” image (the center of your fingerprint, which is
approximately opposite the line of the cuticle of your fingernail).

Utility
NOTE: To take advantage of the fingerprint recognition system, the driver and utility
supplied with your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).
Double-click on the icon located on your Windows’ system tray. The
main menu appears.
The following program options are available:
•
Enroll – allows the sensor IC to acquire fingerprint images, process it
into the essential template data, and then insert it into the database
together with an associated User ID and other optional information.
•
Identify – is used to compare the finger presented to the sensor
against all of the other fingerprints currently entered in the database
(known as one-to-many search).
•
Validate ID – is used to perform a one-to-one verification to
ascertain if the person whose finger is placed on the sensor is in fact
the same as the person enrolled under a particular User ID.
•
Data Capture – a viewing facility that is used to display (or capture)
a continuous series of real-time images of a fingerprint.
•
Database – is used to review, delete, and otherwise manage the
contents of the database.
NOTE: For an online Help information on using the application, click on “Help” located
on the menu bar, then “Aware User’s Guide.”
A Readme.txt file is also located on your driver CD for late-breaking news, known
