current work and turns off. This may differ according to the settings in the Control

Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Alarms tab.

Using the Battery

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it for a long time, the capacity/battery life

is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of the initial time, we recommend that

you purchase a new battery.

For long periods of not using the battery, keep the battery after discharging it. This extends

the battery life time.

Using the Battery 104

Tips for Using Your Computer

The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids your warranty.

Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or add any parts inside the

chassis.

•Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.

•The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid

touching the screen.

•Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other options.

•Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around components, it

is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs

when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the left side of your

computer is not blocked when you use the computer. Occasionally check the vents and

remove any accumulated dust on the outside.

•Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a car on a hot

day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to

excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a

hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before

using it.

•Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a memory module

when the computer is on.

•Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back straight and

supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can

remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists

as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on

office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.

•Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and stretch your

muscles.

•Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your files.

Travelling with Your Computer

Air Travel

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

•Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer with your

baggage.

•Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not hand-carry

disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.

•Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

Please follow the instruction of the corresponding facilities regarding the use of wireless

devices (wireless LAN, Bluetooth , etc.) when in a wireless communication restricted area

(e.g. airplane, hospital , etc.).

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and

drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your

computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:

•If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as

possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry

for several days before trying to use it.

•If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as much of the

liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before

trying to use it.

Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry

it.

•If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and denatured

alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone,

aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.

Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your

authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should

discharge the battery completely then remove the battery from the computer. This extends

the life of the battery.

Q2 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.

A1 Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When you connect to an AP,

click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the taskbar and select 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.

A2 Referring to A2 of Q1, check that the network key is correct.

A3 Referring to Q4, check that AP is operating properly.

Q3 I cannot connect to the AP.

•Check the Computer Settings

the wireless LAN function is off, turn it on.

- For Windows XP, verify that the wireless network connection has been set to "Enable"

in Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

- Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.

Questions and Answers 126

A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered in both the AP

and the computer.

The network key is an encryption key for encrypting data transmitted between the AP

and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.

•Check the AP Settings

For the AP settings, refer to the User's Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.

A3 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.

A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.

- When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP and after a short while 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.)

A5 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.

A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key).

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.

A7 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 setting for each AP.

When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between

electronic waves. Set the APs' 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 canceling the "Hide" option for an AP. The SSID is

a name 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 setting a static channel.

to configure my wireless network settings' is selected.

This may happen when a third-party wireless network setup program (e.g. PROSet) other

than Windows XP default program is installed. For setting up a wireless network using

the Windows XP program, this option should be selected.

Q5 When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot

connect to another computer connected to the same computer-to-computer

network.

A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad

Hoc) network is correct.

A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-

to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected through a

computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP addresses

are within the same subnet range.

- If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically configured

to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3 minutes.

- If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select Use the following

IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure IP

address:10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0, and then try again.

Glossary

AC adapter

The AC (or alternating current) adapter regulates current coming into your computer from the

wall outlet. The current at the wall outlet is alternating current and needs to be changed by

the adapter to DC (direct current) before your computer can use it for power.

ACPI

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing hardware

interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative hardware implementations

and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to use such hardware interfaces.

BIOS

BIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called firmware) that

is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to communicate with the

screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without using programs on the hard disk.

The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded on a flash

memory chip that can be updated if needed.

Boot

To start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through all computer

self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only.

Boot disk

A disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A boot disk can

be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.

Byte

The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A character—such as a letter of the

alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in kilobytes (1,024

bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes).

Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an introductory

book on computers.

Cache memory

Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main

memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it

needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache.

CardBus

CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer

and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit

cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more

data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed.

CMOS memory

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery.

The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when

you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved.

Glossary 139

COM port

COM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer.

Compact Disc

A compact disc (CD).

Conventional memory

The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly

access this memory without using memory-management software.

Disk

The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy

disk, hard disk, or RAM disk.

Disk cache

A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The

application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn,

speeds up the performance of the application.

A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache

is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.

DMA (direct memory access)

A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through

the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance.

DPMS

Display Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with this can be

managed by the Power Management features found in the system setup.

Floppy disk

A removable disk, also called floppy or diskette.

Hard drive

Also called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be installed or

removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten or corrupted.

The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook computer.

Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in desktop computers, their

maximum storage capacity may be less than that of desktop hard drives. However, because

of their smaller size, the drives handle shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is

important for a notebook computer.

I/O

Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed through an I/

O address.

I/O address

I/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed through the

I/O port address.

IRQ (interrupt request line)

The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when the device

needs the microprocessor’s services. The number of IRQs is limited by industry standards.

LCD (liquid-crystal display)

The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop monitor. Most

desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which work by moving an electron

Glossary 140

beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen. The phosphor dots light up to show the

image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric

current passing through the liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through

them, creating an image.

MB (megabyte)

1,024 kilobytes.

Megabit

1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes.

Operating system

A program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O. Application

programs and users can request operating-system services. A user might request operation-

system services to copy files or format a disk. An application program might use the operating

system to obtain keyboard input, write data to a file, or write data to a screen.

PC Card

PC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory Card

International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop all PC Cards. PC

Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters, ATA cards, and memory

cards.

PC slot

The PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed.

Pixel

A pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels are so close

together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen displays thousands or

millions of pixels.

Plug and Play

A plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components to work with

your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do not need to set jumpers on

devices or set memory addresses or IRQs.

RAM (random access memory)

The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory. You can write

to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary, and is erased when the system

is turned off.

Refresh rate

The refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to the screen.

A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering.

Resolution

The resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen. Resolution is

measured by the number of pixels the computer’s screen can display. For example, a

resolution of 800 x 600 means that the screen can display 800 pixels in row and can display

600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher the resolution and the better the image.

ROM (read-only memory)

Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the instructions

for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write

to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM).

Glossary 141

Sector

Also known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold a specified

number of characters (usually 512 KB).

Shadow RAM

A write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer boots, the

BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The BIOS can be executed much

faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in shadow RAM until you turn off the computer.

TFT (thin film transistor) LCD

A TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This technology provides the

best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also sometimes called an active matrix LCD.

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication

devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook

system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating

a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the

specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your

system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval

Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device

in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.

Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your

notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the

wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than

is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer

believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be

taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter except the installed Bluetooth transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common

restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be

turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B/G (also known as wireless

Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of

devices that provide wireless communication.

Regulatory Compliance Statements vii

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is

harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be

restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas

laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may

be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of

the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for

authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since

your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between

countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities

prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in

the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do

not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and

the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way.

Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please

contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See

the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical

Support for additional information.
