About this Concise User Guide

This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is a supplement, and not a substitute for

the expanded English language User’s Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s

Manual CD-ROM supplied with your computer. This CD-ROM also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for

the proper operation of the computer.

Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure

(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s

Manual CD-ROM does not contain an operating system.

Regulatory Information

Regulatory notices and information are contained in the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities

+ User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Instructions for Care and Operation - 3

Concise User’s Guide

English

Instructions for Care and Operation

The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:

1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.

2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an

electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.

3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic

fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.

4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your

work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.

5. Take care when using peripheral devices.



Wireless Device Operation Aboard Aircraft

The use of any portable electronic transmission devices aboard aircraft is usually prohibit-

ed. Make sure the modules are OFF if you are using the computer aboard aircraft.

4 - Instructions for Care and Operation

Concise User’s Guide

English

Power Safety

The computer has specific power requirements:

• Only use a power adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Your AC adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If

you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.

• The power adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety fea-

ture; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.

• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.



Power Safety Warning

Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected all pe-

ripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally

turning the machine on.

Instructions for Care and Operation - 5

Concise User’s Guide

Battery Precautions

• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.

• Recharge the batteries using the notebook’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.

• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qual-

ified service personnel.

• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries

may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.

• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.

• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.

• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.



Battery Disposal

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful

life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check

with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Caution

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by

the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning

Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive clean-

ers on any part of the computer.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the com-

puter to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power sup-

ply. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:

• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.

• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other liquids.

• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.

• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).

• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.



Power Off Before Traveling

Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting

a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s) to be blocked. To prevent your com-

puter from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s) while the computer is in use.

Quick Start Guide - 7

Concise User’s Guide

English

Quick Start Guide

This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell at a glance what and where all the key

components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,

which give an overview of the system.

1. Remove all packing materials.

2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.

3. Attach the AC adapter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the computer (see “Rear View” on page 16), then plug the AC power

cord into an outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC adapter.

4. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.

5. Press the power button to turn “on”.

Not Included

Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet

and database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the ap-

propriate manuals.

System Software

Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-

configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP op-

erating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in Chapters 4 & 7 of the expand-

ed User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Infrared Communication

The Infrared transceiver operates on a

“Line of Sight”. Make sure nothing is

blocking the “Line of Sight” between your

system’s transceiver and the destina-

tion’s transceiver.

IEEE 1394

The Mini-IEEE 1394 port only supports

SELF POWERED IEEE 1394 devices.

Wireless Device Operation Aboard Aircraft

The use of any portable electronic transmis-

sion devices aboard aircraft is usually prohib-

ited. Make sure the modules are OFF if you

are using the computer aboard aircraft.

Communication Conflict

Do not try to use the 802.11b Wireless LAN

module and the Bluetooth module at the same

time, as this may cause a communication con-

flict.

CD Emergency Eject

If you need to manually eject a CD/DVD (e.g. due to an unexpected power interruption)

you may push the end of a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole. Do

not use a sharpened pencil or similar object that may break and become lodged in the

hole.
