Operating The Notebook
This chapter provides information about the use of the notebook.
Getting the Computer Running
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
operation or battery recharge. It is suggested that you use AC power
when you start up the computer for the very first time.
Warning
：
It is particularly important that you use only the AC adapter
supplied from your dealer in order to avoid damaging your notebook
computer.
To use the AC adapter, plug it into a wall socket, plug its DC cable into
your notebook's DC jack. This notebook computer's AC adapter has a
voltage sensor that accepts different countries' voltages without manual
adjustment.
1. Plug the power cord into a regular AC power supply outlet.
2. The power indicator on the AC adapter will turn on to show that it is
connected to AC power.
DC-IN
2-2
3. Plug the direct current cable from the AC adapter into the DC-IN port
on right side of the notebook.
4. The indicator on the front edge of the notebook will begin flashing
with a green light. This indicates that the AC adapter has begun
charging the internal battery.
Note: It is particularly important that you give your battery a full charge
the first time that you use it. We recommend that you leave the system
connected to the AC adapter until the battery is fully charged. The
battery charge indicator of the notebook will stop flashing when the
notebook is fully charged.
Turning On and Off the Computer
Turning On the Computer
1. Make sure the computer is connected to AC power.
2. Press the power switch of the computer.
3. Each time the computer is turned on; it performs a POST (Power-On
Self Test). When POST successfully completes its check, the
computer signals a single beep and the operating system such as
Windows should start.
Turning Off the Computer
In Microsoft Windows, you can shut down your computer by selecting
“Shut Down” within the Windows Start Menu. You can also restart your
computer from this menu.
Note: If the system is locked up because of hardware or software
problems, press the power switch to turn off the computer.

Power Management
This chapter tells you how to use power management and delivers the
information about AC adapter, Internal battery pack.
About the AC Adapter
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.
The AC adapter is Auto-sensing so that your notebook can operate
through the AC adapter connected to any available power supply in a
wall outlet. The AC adapter is also used to recharge the rechargeable
battery pack when connected to AC power.
The AC adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 90~240V AC.
1. AC Power Cord
2. Power indicator light
3. DC (Direct Current) Cable
Warning
：
Connecting the AC adapter to other devices can damage the
adapter or devices. Because of this AC adapter is designed for use with
your notebook computer only.
3-2
Note
：
The AC power cord supplied with your notebook computer is for
use in the country where you purchased your notebook computer. If you
plan to go overseas with the notebook computer, consult your dealer for
the appropriate power cord.
Using the Battery Pack
The battery pack contains Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) that can be installed in the
rear side of the computer.
Warning
：
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.
Note
：
Since batteries are consumables, the warranty will be ensured
within six months while you purchased.
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 rear side 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 battery
charge indicator.
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.
3-3
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 15% 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 turn off the system.
Using Power Management
This notebook supports 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：standby mode, and
Hibernate mode.
Standby Mode
In a standby mode, 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
standby mode, your computer remains active but with the minimum
possible power consumption. You can return the computer to full power
by pressing [Fn] + [F2].
Hibernate Mode
Hibernate mode is really another way of turning off your computer.
When you hibernate, 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 hibernate, the file on the hard
3-4
disk is quickly read back into memory. In just a few moments, your
computer appears exactly as it was when you last hibernate.
Hibernate 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
standby or hibernation mode.
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 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 hibernate,
please select "Hibernate" in sleep button), then press "OK" button.

Memory Cache
Enabling cache saves time for the CPU by holding data most recently
accessed in regular memory (dynamic RAM or DRAM) in a special
storage area of static RAM (SRAM), which is faster. Before accessing
regular memory, the CPU first accesses the cache. If it does not find the
data it is looking for there, it accesses regular memory. Selecting
