Tips for New Owners
Take responsibility for backup
Back up files often. Users who need to manage large amounts of data may wish to use backup
devices such as a tape backup unit or a ZIP drive. If you use your notebook as a networked
workstation with system backup, talk to the system administrator about backup procedures for your
notebook.
Don't leave passwords anywhere on your notebook or carrying case
Be careful when placing your notebook on an airport security conveyor belt
In most airports, security conveyor belts are safe for computers. If you are not sure, ask the security
staff. You should keep a close eye on your computer. When you are in a hurry, make sure that you
walk away with the correct notebook computer!
Tape your business card to the notebook and accessories
In the workplace, notebooks and accessories may often look exactly alike, leading to equipment mixups. Prevent such mix-ups by placing your name on your equipment.
Develop ergonomic work habits
The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable work environment.
For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The
Internet also has information on this and other related subjects.
© 2003 AVERATEC, Inc.
Introduction — Tips for New Owners
Never take the notebook anywhere without the carrying case
A broken screen or case can be costly to repair. Prevent accidents by carrying the computer in a
suitable carrying case.
Consider using a lock
For added security, consider purchasing a Kensington lock to put into the Kensington lock hole on
the left side of your computer (see Chapter 2, Left View). Use the Kensington lock to secure the

Numeric Keypad
The embedded numeric keypad
consists of ten keys that make
number intensive input more
convenient. Press  to
enable or disable the numeric
keypad.
Touchpad
The touchpad is a pressure sensitive pointing device that provides all the features of a two-button mouse.
Its primary function is to move the cursor around the screen.
The instructions listed below describe how to use the touchpad.
1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The touchpad is easily
accessible by moving either your left or right thumb off the space bar and on to the touchpad.
2. Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in the direction you want the
cursor to move. The pad detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding
direction.
3. The touchpad offers another method of making selections in a software program. It is called
double-tapping. This function corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor
has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly double-tap the pressure sensitive
© 2003 AVERATEC, Inc.
Getting Started
touchpad. This double-tapping on the touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the
software to perform the related operation.
4. The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those on a twobuttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of
other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move the pointer over the
object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons
are software specific.
5. Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons.
Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left
button two times. This action is commonly referred to as “double-clicking” an object.
Dragging
There are two ways to drag:
• Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding
down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button.
•
Move the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice quickly as if you were doubleclicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the
desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.
Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow
you to change the orientation of the touchpad from right-handed to left-handed, and fine tune the pointer
movement and timing of clicks.
Touchpad Precautions
The Touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please
take note of the following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
•
Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty.
•
Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
Scrolling Buttons
If you are scrolling through a document, you may find that using the scrolling button is more restful to your
hand than holding down a mouse button. The scrolling button is located between the touchpad buttons.
Push the top of the button to scroll up in a document or Web page; press the bottom of the button to scroll
down in a document or Web page.

Battery Calibration
The first time you use a battery, you should calibrate it. The calibration process empties and charges
the battery one time. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery status. To
calibrate a battery, follow these steps:
1. Plug in the AC adapter.
2. Restart the computer and when the startup screen appears, press Del key to enter the BIOS
Setup Utility.
3. In the BIOS Setup Utility, select Power Management Setup , choose Battery Auto Calibration,
then press .
Please make sure that AC adapter & Battery are present?
Would you to do battery auto-learning?
Yes.
No. (System Reboot)
4. Press  at the above Battery Auto Calibration dialog to begin the battery calibration. Please
press [Space Bar] to select option, and [Enter] to continue.
Battery Calibration will take from 8 to 10 hours, depending on how much power the battery may
already contain.
Note: For optimum performance, we recommend
calibrating the battery again every three months.
Each time you charge and discharge a battery, it
loses a tiny part of its storage capacity, so that,
over time, it will store less than its potential
charge. Similarly, if you do not use the battery
for a few days, it will slowly self-discharge, and
when it is recharged, it will hold less than 100%
of the potential charge.

Power Management — Power Management
Monitoring Battery Power
There are two ways to
monitor how much power
the battery has left.
1. Click
start/Settings/Control
Panel/Power Options;
then click Power
Meter.
2. Moving the cursor to
the battery icon on the
taskbar is the simplest
way to check on
battery power status.
If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start/Settings/Control
Panel/Power Options. Choose the Advanced tab and click “Always
show icon on the taskbar.”
Low Battery Alarms
How your computer responds to a low battery condition is set under Start/Settings/Control
Panel/Power Options/Alarms.
Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical
Battery Alarm. Use the slidebar to set the power level at which the alarms are activated. Click on the
Alarm Action button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both.
Warning: When battery power is low, the battery
indicator will flash red, and the alarm will beep or
display a warning on your screen. Take immediate
action, such as saving files or connecting to the AC
adapter, or data may be lost.
When the computer alerts you that the battery is low, immediately do one of the following:

Power Management — Power Saving Modes
•
Connect the AC power adapter
•
Save your work, and suspend to disk  + 
•
Save your work, then select Shut Down from the Start menu
•
Turn off or suspend the computer and replace the discharged battery with a charged battery
(See Changing the Battery below).
Do not restart the computer until you have connected to an AC adapter, or replaced the discharged
battery with a charged battery.
Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your Notebook to a power outlet, the internal battery will
automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the
Indicator panel will be active. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off.
If your computer is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take about 3 hours to recharge. If your
computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode, it twill take about 4 hours to recharge the battery.
Refer to the following table:
Charging

Power Management — Power Saving Modes
Suspend Mode
There are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can be selected in the Power
Management dialog box: You may have the notebook standby, hibernate, or you can power off the
computer altogether.
Standby
All devices are powered up and in suspend mode
except for the CPU clock.
Hibernate
Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer,
except that the current state of the computer is copied
to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer
returns from suspend mode, the desktop appears
with the same files and programs open as when the
computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk is very
useful when you don't want to take the time to shut
down all open programs one by one to shut off the
computer, only to have to open the same programs
and files the next time you use the computer. This
mode is also called hibernation mode.
Suspend-to-disk Partition/Suspend-to-disk File
In order to Suspend to Disk, you must have a special
suspend-to-disk partition/file on your hard disk drive.
This partition is pre-installed on your computer. The
pre-installed partition is large enough to store all
system memory.
Power Off
System is shutdown.
Initiating Suspend Mode
There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power
Management dialog box:
•
The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time.
•
Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
•
Closing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has been connected).
•
Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).

Power Management — Power Saving Tips
•
Pressing the suspend function key  + .
Using the BIOS Utility for Power Management
With Windows running in ACPI mode, power can be controlled through the Power Management
dialog box only. With operating systems that use ACPI power management, BIOS power settings
have no effect.
Power Button Settings
The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in the Power Management
Properties dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. However, holding the power button down for
more than four seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the
loss of any unsaved information.
Power Saving Tips
•
Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power.
Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer's power
requirements.
•
Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by pushing  +
. Increase it by pushing  + .

Power Management — When to Replace the Battery
When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery
when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as
follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away
from the battery. Continue to hold it
until the battery is removed.
4. Push in the latch on the battery (2)
while lifting the battery out of the
compartment. Remove the battery.
5. Make sure the replacement battery
is properly orientated. Slide back the
side battery latch (1) then insert the
battery into the battery compartment.
Check that the latch locks back into
position.
Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume little power, and generates very
little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the
temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:
1. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side
when this happens.
2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight
loss of performance when this happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
My screen seems to time out too quickly. I have to constantly hit a key or move the mouse
in order to bring it back. How can I adjust the screen time-out?
A:
This is part of Windows Power Management. Access Power Management by clicking on
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Power Management. Adjust the display time-out by selecting a time
next to the Turn off monitor option. You may also select different time-out values for adapter and
battery power states.
Q:
What kind of external microphone can I use with my notebook computer?
A:
You will need to use a self-amplifying microphone.
Q:
There is feedback noise coming from my speakers. What can I do?
A:
Double click on the Speaker icon on the task bar. Then, under Microphone Balance, check the
Mute box.
Q:
Because of a software problem, I was unable to shut down power normally. I pressed the
power button to force a power off, but it didn't work. How can I force a power off?
A:
Make sure you press the power button for at least 5 seconds. Normally, this will force a power off.
If this does not work, you can shut down the computer by inserting a needle into the reset button
pinhole. (The reset button is located on the computer bottom side.)
Q:
Why can’t I charge the battery of my portable computer after it was out of use for some
time?
A:
After portable computers have not been used for a long time (more than one month), the batteries
will go into the low voltage protection mode due to data back-ups and natural electrical discharge.
At that point, restoring normal voltage will require slow charging over a period of several hours.
Calibration can be performed after the battery has returned to a normal condition.
Q: My computer alerts “CMOS Battery Low”, what can I do?
A: If you keep your computer in no power situation (unplug the computer from the power outlet and
remove battery at the same) over 45 days, your data in CMOS will be lost.
