Driver Installation
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation
of the computer. This setup will probably have already been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click
Install Drivers (button), or Option Drivers (button) to access the Optional driver menu. Install the drivers in the order indicated. After installing each driver it will become grayed out.

Manual Driver Installation
Click the Browse CD button in the Drivers Installer application and browse to the executable file in the appropriate
driver folder.
If a Found New Hardware wizard appears during the installation procedure, click Cancel, and follow the installation
procedure as directed.


Driver Installation General Guidelines
As a general guide follow the default on-screen instructions for each driver (e.g. Next > Next > Finish) unless you are an
advanced user. In many cases a restart is required to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g. PC Camera or WLAN) are ON before installing the appropriate driver.
External Optical (CD/DVD) Device Drives
To install applications and drivers etc. you will need to attach an external optical CD/DVD device to the USB ports.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers make sure you enable Windows Update in order to get all the latest security updates etc. (all
updates will include the latest hotfixes from Microsoft).

Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Cause - Solution

The Wireless LAN/
Bluetooth modules
cannot be detected.

The modules are off. Check the LED indicator
/
to see if the
module is on or off. If the LED indicator is off, then press the Fn + F11
(WLAN) or Fn + F12 (Bluetooth) in order to enable the modules.

The Bluetooth module
is off after resuming
from Sleep.

The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the
Sleep power-saving state. Use the key combination (Fn + F12) to power
on the Bluetooth module after the computer resumes from Sleep.

A file cannot be copied
to/from a connected
Bluetooth device.

Transferring data between the computer and a Bluetooth enabled
device is supported in one direction only (simultaneous data
transfer is not supported). If you are copying a file from your
computer to a Bluetooth enabled device, you will not be able to copy a
file from the Bluetooth enabled device to your computer until the file
transfer process from the computer has been completed.

The captured video
files from the PC
Camera are taking up
too much disk space.

Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial
amount of disk space for each file.

ViewSonic

Note that the Windows 7 system requires a minimum of 15GB of free
space on the C: drive system partition. It is recommended that you
save the capture video file to a location other than the C:drive, limit the
file size of the captured video or reduce video resolution (Options >
Video Capture Pin... > Output Size).

Wireless Device
Operation Aboard
Aircraft
The use of any portable
electronic transmission
devices aboard aircraft is
usually prohibited. Make
sure the wireless
modules are OFF if you
are using the computer
aboard aircraft.
Use the key combinations
to toggle power to the
WLAN/Bluetooth
modules, and check the
LED indicator/visual
indicator to see if the
modules are powered on or
not.
