Getting Started
Power
The computer has two power sources: a Lithium battery and an AC adapter.
Installing the battery
To 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 adapter
To 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 battery
The 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 signicantly 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.

Getting Started
Switching the Power On
Once 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 conguration. 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.

Getting Started
Using the Keyboard
Function Keys
The [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.
14
Getting Started
Keypad Overlay
Although 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 Pad
A 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.
Clicking
Clicking 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.
15
Getting Started
Double-Clicking
Double-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.
Dragging
Dragging 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.
Scrolling
Using 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.

Troubleshooting
Your 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 Problem
If 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.
