Things you must remember before working on
your computer
Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it
doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold
outdoors to a warm office.
Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to
condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic
parts inside.
After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to
the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.

If your system arrives in cold

weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until
they have been allowed to come to room temperature.

Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare

Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold,
too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is
overheated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around
the case.
Do not block the ventilation opening.

11
 Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extreme temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t –
things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you
decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean,
comfortable work area for your system.
A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling.
If you are running your system for the first time on battery power,
remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and
recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.

 Getting Started

Connecting to a Power Source

Connecting the AC Adapter
A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with
power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s
AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts,
covering the standard voltages available in almost every country.
To connect the computer to an external power source:

Do not use inferior extension

cords as this may result in damage to your notebook. The
notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a
different adapter to power the computer and other electrical
devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the
notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.

21
 Never turn off or reset your
notebook while the hard disk is in use status icon is lit; doing

at least 5 seconds after turning off your notebook before
turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid
succession can damage the notebook’s electrical circuitry.

Turning On Your Notebook Computer

Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The Power-
On Self Test (POST) runs automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating
system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is
commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS
(Operating System such as Windows Vista…. Etc.) is installed, it
should start automatically.
To turn the notebook off, save your work and close all open
applications, click on Start, then Shut Down and select Shut
down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power button for
4-6 seconds.
Operating on Battery Power
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets
you operate the computer without an external power source.

computer under the following conditions:
The battery pack initially has a full charge.
No peripheral devices are installed.
The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time

Only use batteries that are

approved by an authorized dealer. All batteries are not the
same and therefore should not be treated as such. Using the
wrong battery could cause serious damage to your computer
and yourself through toxic emissions.

22
 Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions or local
laws.

28
Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the notebook’s power system,
including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the
battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and
the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
The Battery Power System
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery
completely.

If you use the battery so frequently that it

exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a
single month alone, we recommend you to perform the
“Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the
battery life.
Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing
how to calibrate your system battery discussed in the latter
part of this chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please
perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.

Removing the Battery Pack

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to
Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use (Battery Calibration)
Before using the battery pack for the first time, battery pack should
be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery
life status..
To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:

29
 1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the
notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the
next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery
low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will
automatically enter Suspend mode.
2. Turn the notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the
battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator
turns off, the battery is fully charged.
3. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the
battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps.
The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You
can now connect the AC adapter.
4. The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning
indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full
discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the
battery gauge status.
Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function
To charge the battery, while the battery pack is in the notebook,
plug the AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet.
The charging time is approximately 3-4 hours when the notebook is
turned off and approximately 6-7 hours when the notebook is
turned on.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator
becomes off.

If system runs at heavy loading or in

high temperature environment, the battery may not be fully
charged. You need to continue to charge it with the AC
adapter plugged in until the charging LED turns off.

Battery Status
Windows 7 has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an
icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the notebook is
running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge
is remaining in the battery.
Battery Low Warning

30
 When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state
approximately 7 ~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 15 seconds alerting you
to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the
“Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining.
You must save your data or connect AC power immediately;
otherwise, you may lose your data.
Sound Meaning
Continuous Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes
beeping every 5 charge remaining.
seconds
Beeping Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2
accelerates minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your
work and turn off the notebook, or connect the AC
adapter.
When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the
notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should
connect AC power and resume save your work.

Danger of explosion if battery is

incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Never remove the battery pack while the power
is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses
power.

Resetting the System

After installing a software application package, you may be
prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating
environment.

 Running BIOS Setup

The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into

your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It runs and
maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is menu-driven
software, which allows you to easily configure and change the
settings.
The BIOS contains manufacturers default settings for the
computer’s standard operations. However, there are occasions
when you may be required to modify the default settings in the
BIOS.
The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users.
This is an important feature because a great deal of vital
information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized
access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will learn how
to use this security feature.
Entering the BIOS Setup Screen
First turn on the power. When the BIOS performs the POST
(Power-On Self Test), press DEL key quickly to activate the BIOS
Setup Utility.

You may need to press F2 key fairly

quickly. Once the system begins to load Windows, you may
have to retry by cycle-power on again

Leaving the BIOS Setup Screen

When you have finished modifying the BIOS settings, exit the
BIOS. It takes a few seconds to record changes in the CMOS.

 Troubleshooting

Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system
specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations
and/or mishandling may cause problems.
This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting
common hardware and software problems that you may encounter.
When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through
the recommendations in this chapter. Instead of returning the
computer and waiting for repair, you may easily solve the problems
by considering the following scenarios and possible solutions. If
the error continues, contact your reseller for service information.
Before taking further actions, consider the following suggestions:
Check to see if the problem persists when all the external
devices are removed.
Check to see that the blue light indicator on the AC adapter is
lit.
Check to see the power cord is properly plugged to the wall
outlet and to the computer.
Check to see the power indicator of the computer is on.
Check to see if your keyboard is operational by pressing and
holding any key.
Check for any incorrect or loose cable connections. Make sure
the latches on the connectors latch securely on to the receptor
end.
Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the
hardware devices in the BIOS Setup utility. A faulty setting
may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the
changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory
defaults.

46
Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For
example, without the audio driver properly installed, the
speakers and microphone will not work.
If external devices such as USB cameras, scanner, printer do
not function correctly when connected to the system, it is
usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s
manufacturer first.
Some software programs, which have not gone through
rigorous coding and testing, may cause problems during your
routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving.
Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need to
restart the system with these devices powered up and
connected first.
Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING
after BIOS re-flash.
