Using the Battery
Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power
when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a
accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating
time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take
advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery.
Charging the Battery
Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to
the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges faster
than if the computer's power is on.
Approximate charging times for the Li-Ion battery are
0 3 hours with the computer off,
. 6 hours with the computer on.
While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is red.
When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.
When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery afier a long period
of storage. the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes
afier a few discharge-recharge cycles.
Follow these ruler for charging your battery:
0 A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time.
Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use.
. Make it r mouse to discharge your hrhery frilly before recharging the hahery.

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 alienating current
and needs to he changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your
computer can use it for power.
ACPl
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 stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is sofiware (oflen 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 stan your computer, A
boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.
B?“
The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A charaaermeh as a letter of
the alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is ofien measured in
kilobytes (1,02A 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.

can directly access this memory without using memory-management sofiwsre.
Disk
The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer
to a floppy disk, hard disk1 or RAM disk
Disk cache
A sofiware device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM.
The application progam 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 ofRAM, Data stored in
a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.
DMA (dlrect 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 cormected to the computer and can be
installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until is overwritten
or corrupted.
The 25-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.
l/o
Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices. much as printers, that are addressed
through an 1/0 address.
[IO address
1/0 stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed
through the 1/0 port address,
IRQ (interrupt request line)
The mo is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when
the device needs the micropmcessor‘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 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 cm or cannot pass through them, creating an
image,
MB (megabyte)
1.02A kilobytes.
Meg-bit
1,048,576 hits or about 128 kilobytes.
Operating system
A program that supervises the computer's operation, including hnndling 1/0.
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 opeming system, you normally do
not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or lRQs.
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 rewritien 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 300 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).
Sector
Also known as disk sector. The portion of a hack that is numbered and can hold
a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB).

Shmiow RAM
A write-protecled area ofRAM that contains a copy oflhe BIOS. As the computer
boots, the BIOS is copied fiom 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.
loomed video
loomed video technology enables zoom video PC Card to transfer data directly
from the card to video and audio systems without going through the
microprocessor. This process improves video performance. Video conferencing
and real-time multimedia devices, such as Video cameras, are supported by zoom
video.
