GETTING STARTED
Power Sources
Your computer has two types of power sources: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC
adapter.
Connecting the power adapters
The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the
battery.
Connecting the AC Adapter
- Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.
- Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.
Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power
Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch to battery
power.
NOTE
The polymer battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need to
connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.
Recharging the battery
The 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 The polymer batteries; therefore you do not
need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times
will be significantly longer if your notebook PC 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 notebook PC goes into
Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the notebook
reaches this point.
NOTE
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.
Battery Replacement
There is a danger of explosion of an incorrect battery type is used for
replacement. For computers equipped with a replaceable lithium-ion battery
pack, the following applies:
- if the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to the battery, or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions;
- if the battery is placed elsewhere in the computer, there shall be a marking close the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions.
The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text:
NOTE
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions.
Once your note computer 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 either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/Resume 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 then 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 Notebook
Power on
Suspend/Power On Button
The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from its off
state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal
Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing the
suspend/power on the button located above the keyboard. If you need to take an
extended break press the button again to turn it off.
NOTE
Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or
vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk.
When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning and or displays an error message. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system.
NOTE
Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST), or an
unrecoverable error may occur.
Using function keys
Your computer has a plurality of function keys, function keys are assigned
different application functions. You should refer to the software to
understand the use of these function keys.
The [FN] key provides extended functions for the notebook and is always used in conjunction with another key.
- [FN+F1]: On / Off WiFi.
- [FN+F2]: Allows you to change your selection of where to send your display video. Each time you press the combination of keys you will step to the next choice. The choices, in order, are built-in display panel only, both built-in display panel and external monitor, or external monitor only.

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 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
touchpad includes the left and right buttons that function as mouse buttons.
The actual functionality of the left and right buttons 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 left button once, and then i
mmediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it.
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 left button twice in rapid
succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button
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 left button while moving the cursor.
To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left
button 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 twice over
the item you wish to move to make sure to leave your finger on the pad after
the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger
across the TouchPad, and then release your finger. Using the Scroll bar allows
you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window’s scroll
bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through online
pages.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Your notebook PC is sturdy and subject to a few problems in the field. However, you may encounter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the spot, or problems with peripheral devices, that you can solve by replacing the device. The information in this section helps you isolate and resolve some of these straightforward problems and identify failures that require service.
Identifying the Problem
If you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing
complex troubleshooting:
- Turn off your notebook.
- Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your notebook and to an active AC power source.
- Make sure that any card installed in the PC Card slot is seated properly. You can also remove the card from the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause of failure.
- Make sure that any devices connected to the external connectors are plugged in properly. You can also disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as possible causes of failure.
- Turn on your notebook. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it on.
- Go through the boot sequence.
- If the problem has not been resolved, contact your support representative.
Before you place the call, you should have the following information ready so that the customer support representative can provide you with the fastest possible solution:
- Product name
- Product configuration number
- Product serial number
- Purchase date
- Conditions under which the problem occurred
- Any error messages that have occurred
