Using the eGO-note for the First Time 5Using the eGO-note for the First TimeThis section gives you detailed information on using the eGO-note for the first time.Be aware that data you enter may not be properly maintained until the backup battery is fully recharged. To charge the backup battery, install a rechagable battery first. Your eGO-note is powered with below three ways.•Rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, •AA size Alkaline battery pack and •AC adapter separate from the eGO-note. If you would like to use the eGO-note immediately, then install six AA size Alkaline batteries into the Alkaline battery pack. Installing the Rechargeable Battery PackTo install the rechargeable battery pack:1. With the eGO-note’s power off, close the LCD panel and turn the eGO-note over so the bottom of the unit faces up.2. Unlock the battery locking latch.(Figure 4)3. Slide the battery pack into the compartment. Make sure the battery is fully inserted into the compartment.Only use the eGO-note rechargeable battery pack.

Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to an electrical outlet.(Figure 5)Figure 5. Installing the Power CordPower connectorPower cordAC adapter
Using the eGO-note for the First Time 7The left indicator light turns on amber after 2 or 3 seconds when the Power cord is connected, indicating that the battery is recharging. Leave the eGO-note plugged in for several hours. The indicator light turns green when the battery is fully charged. If a fault condition happens in the rechargeable battery pack, charging is interrupted and the left amber indicator light is blinking until the battery pack is removed. All batteries lose their charge if they sit unused for an extended time period. When not used, battery can discharge fully in 2 weeks. The battery may have discharged in the time it took for the eGO-note to go from the factory to you.The battery charges in about 3.5 hours either the eGO-note is turned on or off. If “Backup battery is low” message comes up, connect the AC adapter, or synchronize the eGO-note to your desktop computer to save data.To install the AA size Alkaline battery into the pack:1. Turn the tap of the Alkaline battery pack to OPEN direction.Figure 6. Opening the Alkaline battery pack
8 User’s Manual 2. Insert three Alkaline batteries first into the battery pack according to the direction of the indication. And insert other three Alkaline batteries in the opposite direction.The battery life varies with brands. We recommand you to use one of DURACELL ULTRA-MX1500(AA) or PANASONIC Alkaline batteries with this product.Figure 7. Inserting the Alkaline batteries into the pack3. Point the tap arrow to the pack arrow and close the tap as indicated on the tap.Figure 8. Closing the Alkaline battery pack

Opening the system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorized manufacturer’s service center can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.•Follow all the instructions and cautions in the user documentation.•The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.
Using the eGO-note for the First Time 11•Use only manufacturer’s provided memory module.•Because this PC is small and has restricted air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. Keep the PC in well air circulating place and do not cover with clothes.•Avoid using or storing the eGO-note in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a car on a hot day. Keep the eGO-note away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage eGO-note components. If you have left your eGO-note 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 eGO-note is on. •Set up your 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 eGO-note to rest your eyes and stretch your muscles. •Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your files.Handling SpillsDo not spill anything on your eGO-note. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your eGO-note. If you do spill something on the eGO-note, turn off it, 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.
12 User’s Manual •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. 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 eGO-note for Long PeriodsIf possible, leave the power cord connected to the eGO-note and an electrical outlet when the eGO-note is not in use. This helps extend the life of the battery and keeps the battery fully charged.If you will not be using the eGO-note for a long period of time (a month or more), you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the battery from the unit.
