After learning the basics of your TravelMate computer, let’s get acquainted with the advanced features of your computer. In this chapter, you will learn how to add options, upgrade components for better performance, and customize your computer.TM100-e.book Page 48 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

49Expanding through optionsYour TravelMate offers you a complete mobile computing experience.Connectivity optionsPorts allow you to connect peripheral devices to your computer as you would with a desktop PC. For instructions on how to connect different external devices to the computer, see your online guide for more details.Fax/data modemSome models have a built-in V.90 56Kbps software modem.Warning! This modem port is not compatible with digital phone lines. Plugging this modem into a digital phone line will damage the modem.To use the fax/data modem port, connect a phone cable from the modem port to a telephone jack.Start your communications software program. See your communications manual for instructions.TM100-e.book Page 49 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

2 Customizing your computer50Built-in network featureThe built-in network feature allows you to connect your computer to an Ethernet-based (10/100 Mbps) network.To use the network feature, connect an Ethernet cable from the network jack on the rear of the computer to a network jack or hub on your network. Fast infraredThe computer’s fast infrared (FIR) port allows you to do wireless data transfer with other IR-aware computers and peripherals such as infrared printers. The infrared port can transfer data at speeds of up to four megabits per second (Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.TM100-e.book Page 50 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

51To use FIR, position two IR-aware devices such that their IR ports are no more than one meter apart and offset no more than 15 degrees. When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See your file transfer software for details.Universal Serial BusThe Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is a high-speed serial bus which allows you to connect and daisy-chain USB peripherals without taking up precious system resources. Your computer has two ports available. TM100-e.book Page 51 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

2 Customizing your computer52Connecting your optical driveConnect the AC adapter and the USB cable to the rear of the optical drive (a). Plug the other end of the USB cable to the computer (b). Connect the AC adapter to the power outlet (c).IEEE 1394The computer’s fast IEEE 1394 port allows you to connect IEEE 1394 supported devices like a digital video camera. See your video or digital camera’s documentation for details.TM100-e.book Page 52 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

2 Customizing your computer543Press the slot eject button (a) to pop out the eject button; then press it again (a) to eject the card (b).Upgrade optionsYour computer delivers superior power and performance. However, some users and the applications they use may demand more. This computer allows you to upgrade key components when you need increased performance.Note: Contact your authorized dealer if you decide to perform a key component upgrade.Memory upgradeMemory is expandable to 256 MB, employing 128-MB PC-133 MHz industry standard soDIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). The computer supports SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).There are two memory slots on your computer, one of which is occupied by standard memory. You can upgrade memory by installing a memory module into the available slot.Installing memoryFollow these steps to install memory:TM100-e.book Page 54 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

551Turn off the computer, unplug the AC adapter (if connected) and remove the battery pack. Then turn the computer over to access its base.2Remove the screw (a) from the memory cover; then lift up and remove the memory cover (b). 3Insert the memory module diagonally into the slot (a), then gently press it down (b) until it clicks into place.4Replace the memory cover and secure it with the screw.The computer automatically detects and reconfigures the total memory size. TM100-e.book Page 55 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

2 Customizing your computer56Notebook ManagerThe computer has a built-in system setup program called Notebook Manager. The Windows-based Notebook Manager allows you to set passwords, the startup sequence of the drives, and power management settings. It also shows current hardware configurations.To start the Notebook Manager, press Fn-F2 or follow these steps:1Click on Start, Programs, then Notebook Manager.2Select the Notebook Manager application to run the program.See your online guide for more information. Launch ManagerLaunch Manager allows you to set the four launch keys located above the keyboard. See “Launch Keys” on page 25 for the location of the launch key. You can access the Launch Manager by clicking on Start, Programs, and then Launch Manager to start the application.TM100-e.book Page 56 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

57 Launch Manager and 802.11b Wireless LANBy default, the 802.11b wireless LAN is set to “Always Off”. You can manually switch on the 802.11b wireless LAN by pressing the button. Manually turning on 802.11b wireless LAN does not change this default setting which is re-enabled when you restart your computer. You have to go to the BIOS Utility during POST to set it to “Always On”, so that when you turn on your computer, 802.11b wireless LAN will be on.Note: The built-in Ethernet port is automatically disabled when the 802.11B Wireless LAN is enabled. You have to disable the 802.11B Wireless LAN to be able to use the built-in Ethernet port.BIOS UtilityThe BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (basic input/output system).Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run it.TM100-e.book Page 57 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

Contact your dealer or an authorized service center for assistance.key link: www.acersupport.comTM100-e.book Page 60 Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:03 PM

61Frequently-asked questionsThe following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your computer. Easy answers and solutions are provided for each one.I pressed the power switch and opened the display, but the computer does not start or boot-up.Look at the Power indicator (refer to “Indicators” on page 18):• If it is not lit, no power is being applied to the computer. Check the following:• If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge the battery pack.• Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the computer and to the power outlet.• If it is lit, check the following:• Is a non-bootable (non-system) diskette in the floppy drive? Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system.• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy drive and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. This will diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.Nothing appears on the screen.The computer’s power management system automatically blanks the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, three things might be the cause:• The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn-→ (increase) and Fn-← (decrease) to adjust the brightness level.• The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the display toggle hot key Fn-F5 to toggle the display back to the computer.• If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode.
