Using the Communication Features
Using the LAN
The internal 10/100 Base-T Ethernet LAN modules allows you to
connect your notebook to the network, It supports data transfer rata 10
and 100Mbps.The Ethernet jack is a standard RJ 45 jack, You can
attach a standard RJ 45 connector into this jack to connect your network
environment

take your notebook on the road. With appropriate software 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 World Wide Web to gather data and resources. The Modern jack is a
standard RJ-11 jack. You can use a modem cable to connect the

Using 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.
Notice: Since batteries are consumables, the warranty will be ensured
within six months while you purchased
11
To Change the Battery Pack
To change the battery, shut down the system, and turn your computer
over Unlock and remove your battery, replace it with a charged battery.
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. Battery life is reduced if your
notebook is consuming a lot of energy, for example playing sound 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. ThlS 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 point. 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
12
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 pramically 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-toRAM for
many hours.
Suspend to Disk
Suspend-to-Disk is really another way of turning off your computer.
When you suspend to disk, the contents of your computer’s 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,
your computer appears exactly as it was when you last suspended to
disk.
Suspend to disk is very useful for Windows users who like to have many
different programs open on the Windows 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.
Initiating Standby or Hibernate Mode
This notebook computer does not support standby or hibernation mode
automatically. But you can follow the following procedure initiating
13
standby or hibernation model
The following is power management setting under windows Operating
System environment:
1. Click "Start", then “Settings“. then "Control Panel“.
2. Start the "Power Management" item.
3. Select the "Hibernate" page, select “Enable hibemate support
"click "Apply“ button
4. Select the "Advanced“ page, see the power button area and select
lids, power button or sleep buflon 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 "Fm-F2" then enter Suspend
to. Disk please select “Hibernate” in sleep button), then press "OK"
button.

Chapter 3 2 Getting Start
Connecting Power to the System
This notebook computer runs on its rechargeable battery, You can also
plug its AC adapter into a wall socket for continuous high-performance

target infrared device. You can change protocol with the System
Configuration Utility (SCU) under Components/Com Ports.
Supported protocols are Normal (16550), IrDA (HPSlR), ASK IR,
FAST IR.
2. Place your notebook so that the infrared port is directly facing the
infrared port of the target device. If the angle between the ports
exceeds about 15 degrees in any direction, you might fail to
establish communication. The infrared ports should be no more than
1 meter (38 inches) apart or you might fail to establish
communication.
3. If you have utility software that supports infrared communication,
such as TranXit or IntelIiSync, use the software to make the infrared
link, and follow the software's instructions.
4. If you don‘t have infrared software, use the infrared software
included with the Vtfindows operating system.
