Battery and Power Saving
About the Battery Pack
The battery pack contains Lithium—Ion (Li—ION) that can be installed in
the right device bay.
Caution: Only use the battery pack that is supplied with this notebook.
If you need a replacement battery, ask your system vendor for a
replacement. Never try to use a battery pack that is not designed and
approved for use in this notebook.
Battery Charging
When the battery pack is installed in the right device bay and the
computer is connected to a power supply with the AC adapter, the
battery pack automatically gets charged.
You can check on the charging status of the battery using the right side
power indicator, located on the front edge of the keyboard area,
Battery Discharging
When your notebook is turned on and not connected to a power supply,
it will operate by discharging the battery. A fully charged battery will
power the notebook for about 1.0 ~ 1.5 hours. Battery life is reduced if
your notebook is consuming a lot of energy; for example playing sound
25
files and frequently accessing disk drives, Battery life will also be
reduced if your battery is not in good condition.
Battery Low Warnings
Your notebook will alert you to a low battery condition by emitting a
continuous beeping sound. This warning happens when the battery has
only 10% of total charge remaining.
If you continue using your computer after the battery low warning, the
notebook will continue to operate normally until the charge level drops
to around 5% of total charge. At this potnt, without warning, the
notebook will automatically save to disk and turn off the system.
Using Power Management
This notebook supports APM (Advanced Power Management) and
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power
management. When you are running your notebook from the internal
battery, it is important that you use the power management routines to
reduce the system power consumption. They routines consist of a
series of power saving modes; suspend to RAM mode, and suspend to
Disk mode.
Suspend to RAM
In a Suspend-to-RAM, the contents of your computer‘s memory are
held intact, while practically all the rest of the components in your
notebook turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a
minimum. In a Suspend-to-RAM, your computer remains active but with
the minimum possible power consumption. You can return the
computer to full power by pressing [Fn] + [F2]. If you are operating your
notebook on battery power, a fully charged battery can maintain a
Suspend-to-RAM for many hours.
Suspend to Disk
Suspend—tinisk is really another way of turning off your computer.
When you suspend to disk, the contents of your computers memory
are copied to your hard disk drive as a file. When the contents of the
memory have been safely stored to disk, your computer turns off. The
next time the computer is turned on after a Suspend to disk, the file on
the hard disk is quickly read back into memory, In just a few moments,
26
your computer appears exactly as it was when you last suspended to
disk.
Suspend to disk is very useful for andows users who like to have
many different programs Open on the andows desktop. You can take
quite a few minutes to get a busy Windows desktop up and running.
and then you have to shut down each program one by one when you
want to turn off your computer.
lnitlatlng Standby or Hlbemate Mode
This notebook computer does not support standby or hibernation mode
automatically. But you can follow the following procedure initiating
standby or hibernation mode,
The following is power management setting under windows Operating
System environment:
1. Click “Start", then “Settings", then ”Control Panel".
24 Start the "Power Management" item.
3. Select the "Hibernate" page. select "Enable hibernate support
"click "Apply“ button.
4. Select the "Advanced" page, see the power button area and select
lids, power button or sleep button to Standby (if you want to press
"Fn+F2" then enter Suspend to RAM, please select ”Standby" in
sleep button, but if you want to press "Fn+F2" then enter Suspend
to, Disk please select "Hibemate‘ in sleep button), then press
"OK“ button.
Using a Security Locking Cable
This is a strong flexible cable that has a lock at one end and a loop at
the other. You can loop the cable around an immovablevfixture, and
then look the other end of the cable into your notebook.
Your notebook has an anchor point for the locking mechanism on
standard notebook security cables. It is located on the rear side of the
notebook.

CHAPTER 5: EXPANDING THE NOTEBOOK
Upgrading and Options
Caution: We recommend that you contact your dealer and
ask them to install any additional oornponents or optional
modules. Installing these components yourself may cause
damage to your system.
Installing Memory
This notebook has one memory compartment, which contains one 200
pins socket for DDR (Double Data RAM) module,
Wamlng: Before any memory is installed, it must select the
conect speed rat/rig. If the memory has an inconeot speed,
it can affect the performance of your machine or even
damage the system, We recommend that you obtain
approved memory modules from your system vendor.
The memory compartment is located in the base of the notebook.
Install extra memory as follows:
1. Before you begin, turn off your computer, disconnect the AC
adapter, and remove the internal battery.
2. Take precautions to prevent static electricity causing damage to
your memory card as follows:
. If you can, wear a grounding wrist strap that's connected to a
safely grounded connection during the installation.
- Discharge any accumulated static electricity by touching the
metal case of a safely grounded device before beginning the
installation.
28
. Leave all electronic components inside their static-proof
packaging until they are required for the installation
. Handle all circuit boards and electronic components carefully.
Hold boards by the edges only. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
3. Locate the memory compartment cover and remove the locking
screw. Use a narrow-bladed screwdriver to pry the cover out of the
base by Ievering the cover upward.
DDR Memory
Compartment
4. Inside the memory compartment, you will see one socket for DDR
Memory module.
5. Pull these locking latches outwards. This will allow the socket and
module to pop up to an angle of about 20 degrees. You can then
slide the module out of the DDR socket.
Press latches outwards
to release module
6. Hold the new module at the same angle as the socket and slide the
edge connector side of the module into the socket. The edge
connector has a cut-out and the socket has a notch so that it can
29
only be installed in the correfi way. Press the module into the
socket until you can no longer see the gold-teeth of the edge
connector.
Insert Module
7. Press the module down into the memory compartment. and hold
the card down flat inside the compartment
5. Replace the memory compartment cover and secure it with the
locking screw.
9. Reconnect the AC adapter and/or replace the internal battery.
Restart your notebook. When the system POST (power on selflest)
appears, you can verify that the system has automatically
recognized the new memory configuration.
Modem
The internal 56K fax/data modern can be an invaluable tool when you
take your notebook on the road. With appropriate sofiware installed,
you can make a remote connection to your office computer or Local
Area Network. Using the Internet. you can send and receive E—mail,
and use the Work! Wide Web to gather data and resources.
