Before You Start10Base1 33321. Battery BayThe battery bay contains the internal lithium bat-tery pack. It can be opened for the removal of the battery when stored over a long period of time or for swapping a discharged battery with a charged battery.2. Battery Pack Release Latch Slide this latch to remove the battery pack.3. Fan Outlet and Ventilation SlotsThese are open ports to dissipate heat from the computer's internal components. Do not place the computer in such a position that you allow them to become blocked
11Getting StartedPowerThe computer has two power sources: a Lithium battery and an AC adapter.Installing the batteryTo install the battery pack:Make sure that the computer’s power is off and that no cables are connected.Hold the battery pack with the label facing up, and with the connectors on the battery facing the connectors on the computer.Push the battery gently into the battery bay until the latch clicks into place.Connecting the AC adapterTo protect your computer from damage, use only the power adapter that came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.To connect the AC adapter:Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.To switch from AC adapter power to DC battery power:Make sure you have at least one charged battery installed.Unplug the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically to battery power.Charging the batteryThe lithium battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed, and the AC adapter is connected to the computer and the AC power supply. There is no "memory effect" in lithium batter-ies; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharg-ing. The charge times will be signicantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging.If you want to charge the battery more quickly, turn your computer off while the adapter is charging the battery.1.2.3.1.2.1.2.
12Getting StartedSwitching the Power OnOnce you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal lithium battery, power on your notebook by pressing the Power On/Off button located above the keyboard. To power off, press the button for four seconds.When you power on your notebook, it will perform a power on self test (POST) to check the internal hardware and conguration. If a fault is found, your computer makes a warning sound or displays an error message. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by en-tering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the POST, your notebook loads the installed operating system.Never turn off your notebook during the POST, as an unrecoverable error may occur.
13Getting StartedUsing the KeyboardFunction KeysThe [FN] key provides extended functions for the notebook and is always used in conjunction with another key.[FN+F1]: Places the notebook in Suspend mode. Pressing the Power button returns it to active mode.[FN+F2]: Enables or disables the wireless network connection.[FN+F3]: This is used when the computer is connected to an external monitor. It controls where the video signal is displayed. The settings are: built-in display panel only, both built-in display panel and external monitor, and external monitor only. Each time you press this key combination you step to the next setting.[FN+F4]: Increases the screen brightness.[FN+F5]: Decreases the screen brightness.[FN+F6]: Mutes the audio volume.[FN+F7]: Decreases the audio volume.[FN+F8]: Increases the audio volume.[FN+F11]: Switches the computer into Num Lock mode, enabling the numeric key-pad overlay.[FN+F12]: Switches the computer into Scroll Lock mode. This is used in some appli-cations.[FN+INS]: This functions as the Print Screen (PRT SCN) key. It copies the current screen to the clipboard.[FN+DEL]: This functions as the System Request (SYS RQ) key, which may be used by some operating systems or applications.Fn+UP ARROW This functions as the PAGE UP key.Fn+DOWN ARROW This functions as the PAGE DOWN key.Fn+LEFT ARROW This functions as the HOME key.Fn+RIGHT ARROW This functions as the END key.
14Getting StartedKeypad OverlayAlthough the keyboard does not have a separate numeric keypad, the keypad over-lay provides the same function. To turn numeric mode on, press [FN+F11]. The Num Lock LED lights. You can now use the keypad overlay: the keys with blue numbers and symbols (7, 8, 9, 0, U, I, O, P, J, K, L, M, PERIOD, FORWARD SLASH). To turn numeric mode off, press [FN+F11] again.Using the Touch PadA Touch Pad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The Touch Pad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and two scroll buttons.• The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your nger.• The left and right buttons function as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used.• The scroll buttons allow you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars. ClickingClicking means pushing and releasing a button. • To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it.• To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You can also click by tapping lightly on the Touch Pad once.
15Getting StartedDouble-ClickingDouble-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succes-sion. This procedure does not function with the right button.• To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left but-ton twice, and then immediately release it.You can also double-click by tapping lightly on the Touch Pad twice. DraggingDragging is pressing and holding the left button while moving the cursor.• To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it.You can also drag using the Touch Pad alone:• First, tap the Touch Pad twice over the item you wish to move, making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the second tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your nger across the Touch Pad, and then release your nger. ScrollingUsing the Scroll buttons allows you to navigate through a document quickly with-out using the window's scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigat-ing through on-line pages.
16TroubleshootingYour notebook PC is sturdy and subject to few problems in the eld. However, you may encounter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the spot, or problems with peripheral devices, that you can solve by replacing the device. The information in this section helps you isolate and resolve some of these straight-forward problems and identify failures that require service.Identifying the ProblemIf you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex troubleshooting:Turn off your notebook.Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your notebook and to an active AC power source.Make sure that any devices connected to the external connectors are plugged in properly. You can also disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as pos-sible causes of failure.Turn on your notebook. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it on.Go through the boot sequence.If the problem has not been resolved, contact your support representative.1.2.3.4.5.6.
