GETTING STARTED

Power Sources

Power Sources
Your computer has two types of power source: a Lithium-Polymer battery or an AC adapter.
CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS
The AC adapter provides power for operating your Chromebook and charging the battery.
Connecting the AC Adapter

1. Plug the DC output cable into the USB Type C port of your Chromebook.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power

1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.
2. Remove the AC adapter. Your Chromebook will automatically switch to battery power. The Lithium-Polymer battery is not charged upon purchase Initially, you will need to connect the AC adapter to use your Chromebook

RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The Lithium-Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC.

There is no “memory effect” in Lithium-Polymer batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your Chromebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
Low Battery State
When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your Chromebook goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the Chromebook reaches this point

To protect your computer from damage, use only the power adapter that came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.

Once your Chromebook goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power from an adapter. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/Power On button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the power indicator stops flashing and the power goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the battery

Starting Your Chromebook

POWER ON
The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your Chromebook from its off state. For first time use, you must connect your AC adapter to the Chromebook and fully charge the internal Lithium Polymer battery, once the battery charging status indicator has turned blue, you can power on your Chromebook by pressing the suspend/power on button located at the upper-right corner of the keyboard.

To power on your Chromebook after first use, just open the lid of the Chromebook. If the display panel is opened and your Chromebook is not powered on, press the suspend/power on button.
POWER OFF
If you need to take an extended break, press the suspend/power on button to lock the screen or simply close the lid of the Chromebook. To power off your Chromebook, press and hold the suspend/power  on button or click on the Status tray on the lower-right corner of the screen and then click on the button to completely shut down your Chromebook.

When you power on your Chromebook, it will display the main sign-in screen. All Google Accounts that have been added to your Chromebook will be displayed. Click the Google Account you want to sign-in with and enter your password, this will take you to your background wallpaper. If a fault is found, your computer will automatically take you to the recovery screen.

USING SHORTCUT KEYS

Your Chromebook has several shortcut keys along the top row of the keyboard that have various functions.

• Go to the previous page in your browser history
• Go to the next page in your browser history
• Reload your current page
• Enter Immersive mode, which hides the tabs and launcher
• Enter Overview mode, which shows all windows
• Decrease screen brightness
• Increase screen brightness
• Mute
• Decrease the volume
• Increase the volume

Search your apps and the web at the same time. On your Chromebook, this key is located on the left side, where you normally find the Caps Lock key on a traditional keyboard. To enable the Caps Lock key, press Alt + key.

Ctrl + Capture a screenshot
Ctrl + Shift +
Capture a partial screenshot
Suspend/Power
Button + Volume
Down Button

Ctrl + Shift + ? Display all keyboard shortcuts

USING THE TOUCHPAD
A touchpad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel.

The touchpad consists of a cursor control, and a clicking area. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The clicking area is on the lower half of the touchpad that functions as mouse button. If tap-to-click is enabled, you can quickly tap the touchpad to perform the click function. To right-click, click the touchpad with two fingers. The actual functionality of the clicking area may vary depending on the application that is being used

Clicking
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the clicking area once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, tap on the touchpad with two fingers. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the touchpad once.
Double-Clicking
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the clicking area twice in rapid succession. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the clicking area twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the touchpad twice.

Dragging
Dragging means pressing and holding the clicking area, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the clicking area while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using only the touchpad. First, tap the touchpad once over the item you wish to move with one finger. Next, with a second finger move the object to its new location by moving the second finger across the touchpad, and then release both fingers.
Scrolling
Scrolling means navigating through a document or web-pages quickly without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars. To scroll, simply place two fingers on the touchpad and move them up and down to scroll vertically, left and right to scroll horizontally. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line pages.

USING THE MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN
The – Convertible Touch series Chromebook computer is equipped with a multi- touch screen. The multi-touch screen enables you to perform some actions without the use of the touch pad or a conventional mouse.

The following table lists some touch motions that are applicable only to the – Convertible Touch series Chromebook computer.

Your computer screen might look different from the following illustrations.

| Click : Touch the screen on the area you want to click.
| Right-click : Touch with two fingers, or touch and hold on the area you want to right-click.
| Scroll, swipe, or drag : To scroll quickly or go backward or forward in your browser history, swipe one finger from one side of a Web page to the other.
Touch motion| Description
---|---
| Hide or show your shelf : Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
| Zoom out : Touch an area with two fingers and then pinch them together. NOTE This motion works only on some Web pages.
| Zoom in : Touch an area with two fingers and then spread them apart. NOTE This motion works only on some Web pages.

Tips for using the multi-touch screen

• The multi-touch screen is a AIT panel. Do not apply pressure or place any metallic object on the screen, which might damage the touch panel or cause it to malfunction.
• Do not use fingernails, gloved fingers, or inanimate objects for input on the screen.

Tips for cleaning the multi-touch screen

• Turn off the computer before cleaning the multi-touch screen.
• Use a dry, soft, and lint-free cloth or a piece of absorbent cotton to remove fingerprints or dust from the multi-touch screen. Do not apply solvents to the cloth.
• Gently wipe the screen using a top-down motion. Do not apply any pressure on the screen.
