Battery Lifetime Information
A battery is an expendable supply,
so when using it over a long time, the
capacity/battery life is shortened. If the
battery life is reduced to under half of its
initial time, we recommend purchasing a
new battery.
When not using the battery for a long
time, store the battery after charging it to
30-40% of its capacity. This extends the
battery life time.

usage time will improve.
When charging/discharging the battery
repeatedly for a short time only, the
battery usage time may be reduced by
the difference between the actual battery
charge and the remaining charge display.
In this case, the actual battery charge
and the remaining charge display will
be the same by discharging the battery
completely using the Battery Calibration
function, and then recharging it again.

Wireless LAN Related
A3 Check that the device driver is
installed properly. If the driver is
not properly installed, you will find
a yellow exclamation mark on the
network icon by clicking Device
Manager > Network Adapter.
Q I cannot find an AP.
A Verify whether the Wireless LAN LED
is on.
If it is turned off, turn it on by pressing
the Wireless LAN On/Off button
(Fn +
).
The Wireless LAN device is
operating properly, but I cannot
connect to the Internet or to
another computer.
The signal strength is excellent,
but I cannot connect to the
network.
Even if the signal strength is
excellent, the network connection
may not operate properly if the
TCP/IP properties are not properly
configured, or the network key
(encryption key) is incorrect.
This is due to an incorrect
configuration, or a configuration
error. Check the following:
A1 Check that the TCP/IP properties
are configured properly. When
connecting to an AP, right-click the
Network Connections
icon on
the taskbar and select Network and
Sharing Center. If you click the View
Status next to a connected wireless
network device and then click the
Detail button, you can view the IP
information.
A1 When connecting to a wireless AdHoc network, check if the network
name (SSID) is the same.
A2 If a network key (encryption key) is
used, the AP (Access Point) and
wireless Ad-Hoc network keys must
be the same.
The AP network key can be
configured using an AP management
program. For more detailed
information, ask your network
administrator or product provider.
150
For Windows XP, double-click the
icon and check if the IP address is
properly allocated on the Support
tab.
If the IP is not allocated properly, the
IP address will be displayed as follows
(e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx).
If the network does not provide DHCP,
you have to specify the correct IP
address by asking your network
administrator.
Even if the network provides DHCP,
the server may not allocate an IP
address to the client properly, and the
client station cannot connect to the
network.
A3 Verify whether the AP is operating
properly.
 When the AP is not operating
normally, turn off the AP, wait a short
while, and turn it on again.
 Verify whether the AP’s firmware is
the most recent version. (Contact the
AP manufacturer or the place where
you purchased the AP for details of
the AP firmware.)
A4 Verify whether the AP has been
properly connected to the network.
Verify whether the network is
operating normally by connecting
the wired network cable, which has
been connected to the AP, to your
computer.
 Check the AP Settings
For the AP settings, refer to the
User Guide provided by the AP
manufacturer.
A5 Check the network key settings
(encryption key) again. When
automatic code conversion (a
passphrase function) has been
selected and data communication
is not functioning even with a
normal wireless connection, it is
recommended entering the network
key (encryption key) manually.
A2 Verify whether the environment
is suitable for using a wireless
LAN. The use of a wireless LAN
may be restricted according to the
environment and distance. Obstacles
such as walls or doors affect the use
of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a
high and open space, 50cm from the
wall and far removed from any other
radio signal sources.
151
A6 Check the AP settings as follows.
(The following is recommended for
a standard environment and thus
may differ according to the specific
wireless network environment.)
 When several APs are present
simultaneously, check the channel
settings for each AP. When different
APs are using nearby channels,
interference may occur between the
electronic waves. Set the AP channels
further apart from each other. (Ex:
Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
 When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID)
option is set to “Hide”, you cannot
search for that AP on the computer.
We recommend unselecting the
“Hide” option for the AP. The SSID is
a name used for distinguishing one
wireless LAN from another wireless
LAN.
 It is recommended using Long
Preamble. Preamble is a signal for
data transmission synchronization.
Short Preamble may be supported
by some types of APs but may cause
compatibility problems.
 It is recommended using a static IP.
 Since static channel selection is more
reliable than auto channel selection,
it is recommended using a static
channel.
152
I have set the same IP address
for both the wireless and wired
connections, but they do not work
properly.
A You cannot use wireless and wired
connections using the same IP
address. To sequentially use both the
wired and wireless connections with
the same IP address, you need to set
the currently not needed connection
to Do Not Use in the Network
Connections of the Control Panel.
Q
The wireless LAN does not
work properly when there is a
device operating on an adjacent
frequency in the vicinity of the
product.
A1 Channel interference may occur when
a wireless video transceiver or a
microwave oven is being used. If you
experience channel interference from
other equipment, we recommended
changing the channel for connecting
to the AP. For more information about
AP settings, refer to the User Manual
supplied by the AP manufacturer.
A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment
operates in hybrid mode when there
is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the
data rate may be degraded.

it later if necessary. A backup is a way
to restore computer data when the data
or computer is damaged.
doubling the operating speed of the
SDRAM and is widely used nowadays.
This computer uses DDR SDRAM.
Device Manager
An administrative tool used to manage
computer devices. You can add or
remove hardware or update a device
driver using the Device Manager.
Chargeable USB
This program enables supplying power
to a specific USB port when the system
is in power saving mode, hibernation
mode or off.
Direct X
An application interface developed to
enable Windows application programs
to access hardware devices at a very
high speed. Since the operating speed
of graphics, memory and sound cards
must be very fast to provide high
quality video and sound for games,
Direct X enables faster control and
interaction between applications and
hardware devices. By using Direct X,
the multimedia performance of Windows
has been hugely improved.
Client
This refers to a computer that uses a
shared network resource provided by a
server.
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory)
DRAM is a memory type whose cells
consist of a capacitor and transistor
manufactured at a low price. SDRAM
is a memory type whose performance
has been improved by synchronizing
the clock with the external CPU clock.
DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose
performance has been improved by
163
Driver
Software that interacts between the
hardware and the operating system. An
operating system knows the hardware
information and controls the hardware.
In general, a driver is supplied with the
corresponding hardware device.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in
memory to the hard disk and turns the
CPU and hard disk off. When canceling
Hibernation Mode, all application
programs that were running are restored
to their last state.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
DVD was developed to replace CD
(compact disk). Although the shape and
size of the disc are the same as that of
a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least
4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is
600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS
(analog) video and supports MPEG2 
compression and digital audio. To play a
DVD, a DVD drive is required.
Icon
This refers to a small image that
represents a file that users can use.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting
computers, printers and other devices
within a local area such as within a
building. A LAN enables all connected
devices to interact with other devices
on the network. The current LAN uses
the Ethernet media access control
method developed in the early 1980s.
To connect to an Ethernet, a network
card called a LAN card, Ethernet card
or network interface card is required.
To exchange data between computers,
a protocol is required besides the
hardware equipment. Windows XP uses
TCP/IP as the default protocol.
Firewall
A security system used to protect an
internal network or intranet from external
networks
through an authentication procedure.
164
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
There are Passive Matrix and Active
Matrix LCD types. This computer uses
the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT
LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by
transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube
unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And
because it does not blink, it reduces eye
strain.
Power Schemes
This refers to a pre-determined power
management option group. For example,
you can set the time the computer waits
before entering Standby Mode, or before
the monitor or hard drive turns off. The
settings are saved as a power scheme.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be
configured so that you can launch a
program such as Internet Explorer or
display the Windows Desktop with one
click. You can add any icon to the quick
launch area of the Taskbar and launch
frequently used program by clicking that
icon.
Network
A group of computers and devices, such
as printers and scanners, connected
by a communications link. A network
can be either small or large and can be
connected permanently through cables
or temporarily through telephone lines
or wireless links. The biggest network is
the Internet, a worldwide network.
Server
In general, a server refers to a computer
that provides shared resources for
network users.
Notification Area
This refers to the right area of the
Taskbar including program icons such
as the volume control, the power options
and the time.
Share
This refers to setting a resource of a
computer such as a folder or printer so
that other users can also use it.
165
Shared Folder
A folder that can be used by other users
on the network.
Sleep Mode
A power mode that enables computers
to save power consumption when they
are not being used. When a computer
is in Sleep Mode, the data on the
computer memory is not saved to the
hard disk. If the power is turned off, the
data in memory will be lost.
SSD (Solid State Disk)
This refers to a device that saves
information to semiconductors unlike a
normal hard disk drive (HDD). There are
two types of SSD. One saves data to
the DRAM and the other saves data to
the Flash Memory. Since there are no
mechanical parts, an SSD provides a
much better performance than an HDD.
Especially, a Flash Memory-Type SSD
provides high reliability and durability.
System File
System Files refer to files that are read
and used by the Windows operating
system. In general, system files must not
be deleted or moved.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to a serial interface standard
developed to replace the conventional
interface standards such as Serial and
PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps
(12 million bits per second), USB 2.0
supports a data rate that is 40 times
(480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1.
The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to
that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is
used for A/V devices supported by IEEE
1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that
require a high data rate.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, configures and
manages network operations.
Sometimes, a network administrator is
called a system administrator.

Using this mode, you can run programs
that do not run on Windows 7.
Windows Media Player
A multimedia program included with
Windows. Using this program, you can
play a media file, create an audio CD,
listen to a radio broadcast, search and
manage media files, and copy files to a
portable device, etc.
