Unpacking The Notebook


Your notebook comes securely packaged in a sturdy cardboard shipping carton. Upon
receiving your notebook, open the carton and carefully remove the contents. In addition to
this User Guide, the shipping carton should also contain the following items:
• Notebook
• User Manual
• AC Adapter and Power Cable
• Li_Ion Battery
• Utility CD
• RJ-11 Cable

Carefully inspect each component to make sure that nothing is missing and/or damaged. If

any of these items is missing or damaged, notify your dealer immediately.

Notebook Accessories
This notebook is equipped with AC adapter accessories and a Li-Ion battery.

AC Adapter - The AC Adapter supplies external power to your notebook and charges
the internal battery pack simultaneously. The AC adapter has an auto-switching design that
can connect to any 100VAC ~ 240VAC power outlets. Change your power cord when
visiting a country with a different connector outlet. The AC adapter charges the battery
whether the notebook is switched off or switched on.

Battery - Aside from the AC adapter, your notebook can also be powered through the
internal battery pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery cells
that pr.ovide long computing hours when fully charged and power management enabled.
You should always leave the battery inside your notebook even when using the AC adapter
as it also acts as a back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut off. It is
also very important to have the battery pack always charged to prevent battery cell
degradation.

Power System

Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts :

• Power Adapter.

• Battery Power System.

Power Adapter
The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the
Notebook PC. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that
you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without
setting switches or using power converters.

2-3
CHAPTER 2 – GETTING STARTED

It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing

power adapters to another country.

Follow these steps to connect the AC power to the notebook.

1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Whenever possible, it is advisable to always have the AC power connected to the notebook
and the battery pack installed. This ensures continues power supply and prevents any data
loss incurring from sudden power breakdown.

DANGER:  To  avoid  electric  shock,  do  not  modify  forcibly  bend,  damage, 
place  heavy  objects  on  top  of,  or  apply  treat  to  the  power  cable.  If  the 
power  cable  becomes  damaged  or  the  plug  overheats,  discontinue  use. 
Never remove the power plug from the outlet with wet hands. 

DANGER: Never charge the battery using other AC power. It can cause a fire 
or explosion. 

IMPORTANT:  Using  the  wrong  AC  power  could  damage  your  notebook. 
Never  pull  directly  on  the  power  cable  to  unplug  it.  Hold  the  power  plug 
when removing the cable from outlet. 

2-4
CHAPTER 2 – GETTING STARTED

IMPORTANT: The power adapter may become warm to hot when in use. be 
sure not to cover the adapter and keep it away from your body.

Before you can use the battery to power the notebook, you must charge it. Connect
notebook to an AC power outlet using the AC power and power cable.

Once the notebook is connected to a power outlet, you can charge the battery with the
notebook turned off or on. When the notebook is turned off, the battery charges about
4 hours.

When the notebook is turned on and is not consuming full power (under 18W), the battery
charges in about 4 o 11 hours.

IMPORTANT: Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the 
notebook  plugged  in  and  turned  off  for  more  than  a  few  hours  at  a  time. 
Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can damage the battery.

their notebooks. However, with a little care and proper use of the equipment, you can work
comfortably throughout the day.

2-7
CHAPTER 2 – GETTING STARTED

1. Position the display panel or external monitor so that sunlight or bright indoor
lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use tinted wondows or shades to reduce
glare.

2. Avoid placing your notebook in front of a


bright light that could shine directly in your
eyes.

3. Place the notebook on a flat surface at a


comfortable and distance. If you are using
an external monitor, the top of the display
should be no higher then eye level.

4. Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.

5. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position

Remember to:

1. Alter your posture frequently.

2. Strech and exercise your body several times a day.

3. Take periodic breaks when you work at the notebook


for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks
are better than fewer and longer breaks.

Avoiding Strain and Stress


The key to avoiding discomfort or injury fron strains is to vary your activities. If possible,
schedule a variety of tasks into your working day. Finding ways to break up the routine can
reduce stress and improve your efficiency.

1. Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, and relieve your
eyes. A break of two or three minutes every half hours is more effective than a
long break after several hours.

2. Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. Intersperse such activities
with other tasks.

3. Focusing your eyes on your notebook screen for long periods can cause
eyestrain. Look away from the notebook.

Learning the Basics


In this section will be described how to use standard features in the notebook for your daily
activity. If you are a beginner in computer and operating system, read the manual book of
operating system and the mechanism on the notebook.

Using Operating System


The operating system is a must ingredient in using your computer. It is the platform for all
your software application programs to run on. The most popular operating system today is
Microsoft® Windows®. If you have an operating system already installed in your computer,
then you would be up and running after you power on your computer and boot up the
system.

Using Keyboard

Your notebook is equipped with a standard keyboard that provides all the functionality of a
full-sized 101 or 102-keys IBM keyboard. A side from the standard typewriter-layout
keyboard of your notebook, there are a number of extra features and function controls on
the built-in keyboard including Windows® system hot keys.

3-2
CHAPTER 3 – LEARNING THE BASICS

Function Keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12 keys at the top of the
keyboard.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they perform programmed functions when
pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute
specific functions on the notebook.

Windows® Special Keys

The keyboard provides two keys that have special functions in Windows®.

1. The Windows® logo key activates the Start menu.

2. The Application key has the same function as the secondary mouse (or the Track
point) button.

3. The My Computer key has the same function to open My Computer folder.

Character Keys

Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a typewriter, except that:

1. The spacebar creates a space character instead of just passing over an area of
the page.

2. The lowercase letter I and the number 1 are not interchangeable.

3. The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not interchangeable.

The Caps Lock keys shift the letter keys to upper case- the number and symbol keys are
not affected. The Caps Lock LED on the keyboard indicator panel illuminates when you

CHAPTER 3 – LEARNING THE BASICS

3. You may toggle through the options to display the notebook’s LCD only, the
external display alone and the LCD and the external display together.

Management Power Feature


To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your notebook computer uses the
ACPI power management system. Power management conserves power by controlling
individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole
system.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface


The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques and
gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices
and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based
on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows® XP.

NOTE: Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your 
operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the user’s 
manual of your operating system. 

Using the Optical Drive


Your system ships with CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Combo Drive (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD) or
DVD-RW (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RW) depending on the model you purchased. You
can run a program from CD or DVD and play conventional audio CD, also can write the CD
by using CD-R or CD-RW, depend on type of optic drive you have.

CHAPTER 4 – BATTERY

Energy Saving Design


Your notebook enters a low-power state when it is not being used. It has a number of other
features that enhance its energy efficiency.

Managing Power Usage


Your notebook’s power-saving options greatly increase the length of time you can use the
notebook before you need to recharge the battery.

To change the power usage mode, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel. In Control Panel, double-click the Power Option icon to display the Power Option
Properties window.

Select the power scheme with the most appropriate settings for your notebook. Keep in
mind that changing any settings on the Power Option Properties window will modify the
currently selected scheme.

Consult your Microsoft® Windows® documentation for more information on the Power
Option utility.

Running the Notebook On Battery Power


The notebook uses a removable Lithium Ion (Li-ION) battery pack that provides power
when you are away from an AC power source. You can recharge it many times.

Maximizing Battery Life


Like all other batteries, your computer’s battery will degrade over time. This means the
battery performance will diminish with time and use. To maximize your battery’s life, you
advised to adhere to recommendations set out below.

4-2
CHAPTER 4 – BATTERY

Conditioning a new Battery Pack


Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a “conditioning” process that you
should follow:

1. Insert the new battery without turning the computer on.

2. Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.

3. Disconnected the AC adapter

4. Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.

5. Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.

6. Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and discharged three times.
Use the conditioning process for all new batteries, or if battery hasn’t been used for a long
time. If the computer is to be stored for more that two weeks, you are advised to remove
the battery pack from the unit.

WARNING: Do not to expose battery packs to temperatures


below 0oC (32oF) or above 45oC (113oF). Extreme temperatures
may adversely affect the battery pack.

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to accept the
maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will prevent you from obtaining
the maximum battery charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the following usage
patterns:

• Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery inserted. If you want
to use constant AC power, you are advised to remove the battery pack after it is
fully charged.

• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described above.

• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end of its
effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of about 300 charges.

4-3
CHAPTER 4 – BATTERY

Charging the Battery


To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the battery bay. Plug
the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains power outlet. You can continue
to operate your computer on AC power while your battery is charging. However, charging
the battery with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.

NOTE: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for
the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling
enables you to start the next day with a fully charged battery

Checking the battery level


The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the cursor over the
battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery’s present charge level.

Battery Power

What to Do When the Battery Runs Low

When the battery runs low you have these options:

1. Plug the notebook into a live AC outlet and recharge the battery.

2. Save your work and turn off the notebook.

If you don’t manage to do any of these things before the battery completely runs out of
power, the notebook automatically enters Standby and keeps track of where you were so,
when you turn on the power by using AC adapter again, you can continue where you left
off.

Battery Life
Your notebook’s battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs you
are running, and peripheral device attached. Power Option settings in the OS will help
prolong the battery life if configured appropriately.

4-4
CHAPTER 4 – BATTERY

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and
improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30
days.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. Please consult your service
representative should you need to remove the battery for any reason.

Discharging the Battery Completely


Use the notebook with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t turn off
the notebook by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the battery critically
low, just let the notebook use up all of the battery power and shut down on its own. Disable
the Power Options function in the Control Panel, especially any Alarms (unclick the tick
boxes) and Schemes (change all the settings to Never). As the battery nears the end of its
life save and close any critical files.

Charging the Battery Fully


When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes from
orange to green.

Maintaining the Battery


Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after about 20
partial discharges.

Conserving the Battery Power


The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so lowering the brightness level will save power.
Different applications and external devices consume battery power even when they are not
being used (see the sidebar note for further recommendations on battery conservation).

Disposing Of Used Batteries Safely


You can recharge a main battery many times. It should last for years. When the useful life
of the battery expires or if the battery becomes damaged, you must discard it responsibly.

Batteries should not be disposed of together with household waste.

4-5
CHAPTER 4 – BATTERY

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack


If you are confident in undertaking upgrade procedures yourself, for safety reasons it is
best to remove the battery.

IMPORTANT: Never Attempt to remove the battery pack while


the Notebook PC is turned ON, as this may result in the loss of
working data.

To install the battery pack To remove the battery pack

CHAPTER 6 – BIOS CONFIGURATION

Preface
This chapter give a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software. If your computer
has never been set up, or you are making important changes to the systems (e.g hard disk
setup), then you should review this chapter first and note the original settings found in
Setup. Even if you are beginner, keep a record of the settings you find and any changes you
make This information could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.

Do not make any changes unless you are sure of what you are doing. Many of the settings
are required by system, and changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If
you have any doubts, consult your service representative.

POST (Power on Self Test)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST,
including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory).

As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there is a
problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary and prompt
you to run Setup.

If there are no problems, the Setup prompt (press <F2> to enter SETUP) will disappear and
the system will load the operating system. Once that starts, you can’t get into Setup without
rebooting.

screen on your computer may appear slightly different.

Failing The POST


Error can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, ”fatal” and ”non-fatal”.

Fatal Errors
This stops the boot process and generally indicates that there is something seriously wrong
with you system. Take the computer to your service representative or authorized service
center immediately.

Non-Fatal Errors
This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the problem
(make a note of this message!) followed by the prompt:

• Press <F1> to resume

• Press <F2> to enter the Setup.

Press F1 to see if the boot process can continue. It may work, without the correct
configuration.

Press F2 to run Setup program and try to fix the problem. If you still get an error message
after you change the setting, of if ”cure” seems even worse, call for help.

Fixing Device – Related Problems

Power Problems

Your notebook receives power through the AC adapter or from the main battery. Power
problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty AC adapter or power cable will neither
power the notebook not recharge the main battery.

7-2
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:

The AC Power LED does not come on when you plug in the AC adapter and
power cable.

Make sure the AC adapter and power cable are finely plugged into both a working wall
putlet and the notebook.

If the AC power light still does not come on, check that the wall outlet is working properly
by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

The AC adapter and power cable work correctly, but the battery will not charge

The battery does not charge while the notebook is consuming full power. Try turning off the
notebook.

The main battery may not be inserted correctly in the notebook. Turn off the notebook,
remove the battery clean the contacts with a soft dry clith (if necessary) and replace the
battery.

The battery maybe too hot or too cold to charge properly. Its temperature need to be in the
range 5º s/d 50º Centigrade. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach
room temperature and try again.

If the battery has completely discharged, it will note begin charging immediately. Leave the
AC adapter and power cable connected, wait 20 minutes and see whether the battery is
charging.

If the battery light is glowing after 20 minutes, let the notebook continue charging the
battery for at least another 20 minutes before you turn on the notebook.

If the battery light does not glow after 20 minutes, the battery may have reached the end of
its useful life. Try replacing it.

The battery appears not to power the notebook for as long as it usually does

Check the power options using the Windows® Power Management utility. Have you add the
device, such as a PC Card or memory module, that takes its power from the battery? Is
your software using the hard disk more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically?
Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect how long the charge
lasts.

7-3
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Memory Module Problems


Incorrectly connected or faulty memory module may cause errors that seem to be device-
related. So it is wortwhile checking for these first:

1. Click Start, then click shutdown.

2. Click the button next to Shut Down, then click OK.

The operating system will turn off the notebook automatically.

3. Remove the memory module.

4. Reinstall the memory module.

5. Check the error again.

6. If the error recurs remove the memory module entirely and check for the error
again using the second or another module.

If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the module may be faulty. If the error
occurs without the module installed, the module is not causing the error.

Keyboard Problems
If when you type strange things happen or nothing happens, the problem may be related to
the keyboard itself.

You have connected an external keyboard and Windows® displays one or more
keyboard error message.

If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first keyboard may be defective or
incompatible with your notebook.

Display Problems
Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:

The screen does not look right

You can change the display settings by clicking a blank area of the desktop with the track
point secondary button, then clicking Properties. This causes operating system to open the

7-4
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Display Properties dialog box. The Appearance tab of this dialog box allows you to choose
the colors for the screen. The Settings tab allows you to choose the screen resolution.

The built-in screen flickers

Some flickering is a normal result of the way the screen produces colors. To reduce the
amount of flickering, try using fewer colors.

To Change the number of colors displayed:

1. Point at the desktop and click with the secondary button.

2. Click Properties, and then Settings.

3. Change the colors option and click Ok.

For more information see Windows® Help.

The display is blank

Display Auto Off may have gone into effect. Press any key to activate the screen.

If you are using the built-in screen, make sure the display priority is not set for an external
monitor. To do this, press Fn button combination (see “Function Keys” on page 3-3) to
return the display priority to its previous setting.

If you are using an external monitor:

1. Check that the monitor is turned on.

2. Check that the monitor’s power cable is firmly plugged into a working power
outlet.

3. Check that the cable connecting the external monitor to the notebook is firmly
attached.

4. Try adjusting the contrast and brightness control on the external monitoring.

Disk Drive Problems


Problems with the hard disk or with a diskette drive usually show up as an inability to
access the dick or as sector errors.

7-5
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

You are having trouble accessing a disk; one or more files appear to be missing

Make sure you are identifying the drive by its correct name.

Run the ScanDisk, which analyzes directories, files and File Allocation Table (FAT) on the
disk and repairs any damage it finds.

To run ScanDisk:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, Accessories, and System Tools and click
ScanDisk.

2. Click the drive you want to test.

3. Select the type of test you want to use.

A Thorough Test is more complete but takes much more time than a standard
test

4. Click Start

ScanDisk runs a test for the disk.

Some programs run correctly but others do not

This may be a software configuration problem. If a program does not run properly, review
the program’s hardware configuration requirements. Most software documentation lists the
minimum hardware requirements.

See “Notebook Specifications” to review the hardware configuration of thin notebook.

Optical Drive Problems


You can not access a CD in the drive

Make sure the CD-ROM tray is closed properly. Press gently until clicks into place.

Open the CD-ROM tray and remove the CD. Make sure the CD-ROM tray is clean. Any dirt
or foreign object can interface with the laser beam

Examine the CD to see whether it is dirty. If necessary, wipe it with a soft clean cloth
dipped in water or neutral cleaner.

Replace the CD in the drawer. Make sure it is laying flat, label side uppermost. Press down
until the CD-ROM disc locks on the spindle. Close the CD-ROM tray carefully, making sure
it has shut completely

7-6
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

You press the eject button, but the CD-ROM tray does not slide out.

Make sure the notebook connected to a power source and turned on. The CD-ROM drive
eject mechanism requires power to operate.

If you need to remove a CD and can not turn on the notebook, use a narrow object, such a
as a straightened paper clip, to press the manual eject button. This button is in the small
hole next to the CD-ROM eject button on the right side of the notebook.

Some CDs run correctly, but others do not

If the problem is with a data CD, refer to the software’s documentation and check that the
hardware configuration meets the program’s needs.

The color of materials used to make the CD can affect its reliability. Silver colored CDs are
the most reliable, followed by gold-colored CDs. Green-colored CDs are the least reliable

Sound System Problems


You do not hear any sound from the notebook

Adjust the volume control.

If you are using headphone or speakers, check that they are securely connected to your
notebook. In Setup, check that the sound function is enabled.

The notebook emits a loud, high-pitched noise

This is feedback between the microphone and speakers. It occurs in any sound system
when input from a microphone is fed to the speakers and the speaker volume is too loud.
Adjust the volume control.

Modem Problems
This section lists common modem problems.
The modem will not receive or transmit properly

Make sure the RJ-11 cable (the one that goes from the modem to the telephone line) is
firmly connected to the modem’s RJ-11 jack and the telephone line socket.

Check the serial port settings, to make sure the hardware and software are referring to the
same COM port (look in Device Manager).

7-7
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, and data length and stop bits)
specified in the communications program. It should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or higher.

The modem is on, set up properly and still not transmit or receive data

Make sure the line has a dial tone. Connect a telephone handset to the line to check this.
The other system may be busy or offline. Try making a test transmission to someone else.

Printer Problems
The printer can not be added to the system or will not work

The printer is not turned on, is not correctly connected to the notebook, or has an internal
problem. Make sure the printer is on. Check all connections and cables and then try to
reinstall the driver. You may refer to the printer’s manual for instructions on printing a
“selftest” page (a “self-test” page will print regardless of computer connections and is a
means of ensuring that the printer is actually working).

There is no paper in the printer, or the paper is incorrect for the settings designated in your
software. Put more paper in the printer (also fan the paper to make sure it does not stick
together and cause a paper jam) and check the paper size macthes your software’s “print”
settings.

The printer driver is not installed or is configured incorrectly. Check that the printer is
properly installed and configured (correct port etc) Also check that you have installed the
latest driver compatible with you OS (upload drivers are usually available for download
from the printer manufacture’s website).

The printer is a network printer and it is not properly connected to the network. All networks
are configured differently so please check with your network administrator to get the correct
setup

7-8
CHAPTER 7 – IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

Viruses
1. Install an Anti-Virus program and keep the definitions file (the file which tells your
program which viruses to look for) up to date. New notebook viruses are discovered
daily, and some of them may seriously harm your notebook and cause you to lose
data. Anti-Virus programs are commercially available and the definitions file updates
are usually download able directly from the internet.

2. Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you don’t know. Viruses are often
triggered from within e-mail attachments so take care when opening any attached file.
You can configure most Anti Virus programs to check e-mail attachments. Note : You
should also beware of files from people you know as the virus may have infected an
address book and been automatically forwarded without the person’s knowledge.

3. Keep “Boot Floppy Disk” or “Bootable CD-ROM” (the disk provides basic information
which allows you to startup your notebook) handy. You may refer to your OS’s
documentation for instructions on how to make one, and many Anti Virus programs
will also provide such a disk (or at least instruction on how to make one).

scratches.

Charge Your Batteries


If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and
any optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power
adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and

8-3
CHAPTER 8 – CARING FOR THE NOTEBOOK

an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery
pack when the Notebook PC is in use.

Airplane
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most
airlines will have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow
electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.

IMPORTANT:  There  are  three  main  types  of  airport  security  devices:  X‐ray 
machines  (used  on  items  placed  on  conveyor  belts),  magnetic  detectors 
(used  on  people  walking  through  security  checks),  and  magnetic  wands 
(hand‐held  devices  used  on  people  or  individual  items).  You  can  send  your 
Notebook  PC  and  diskettes  through  airport  X‐ray  machines.  However,  it  is 
recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC or diskettes through 
airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands. 

Tips For Using Notebook

1. Save your job frequently.


Your job in the notebook memory is temporary until you store it to the disk. You
will lose all you job since the last save. For example, error system happened and
you must restart the notebook.

NOTE:  Some  programs  have  storage  features  automatically.  This  feature 


store the file to the hard disk in the remained interval. For more detail, you 
can see software documentation. 

2. take frequent breaks to avoid physic exhaustion and relieve your eyes.

3. Before turn off the notebook, always use Shut Down command in the Microsoft®
Windows®.

8-4
CHAPTER 8 – CARING FOR THE NOTEBOOK

Cleaning the Notebook


When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth,
slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution or use contents of any commercially
available notebook cleaning kit.

Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the notebook.
Also never spray any liquids directly on the notebook case, keyboard, or screen. If the
liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first
applying a mild glass cleaner to a soft , clean lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass.

Never apply liquids directly on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to
clean the display screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.

Maintaining The Hard disk


Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users must make
it a habit of doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is some maintenace you
could do:

1. Always back up your data files from your hard disk.

2. Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper your files.

3. Use SCANDISK once in a while to correct any errors found in the directory and
File Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused sectors

4. Never move or raise the notebook while the hard disk is being accessed, most
especially don’t jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.

5. Use hard disk maintenance programs like Disk Defragmenter of Windows®.


These reorganize your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation and improving
your hard disk access time.

6. Install a system password in your notebook so others won’t be able to use the
hard disk.

8-5
CHAPTER 8 – CARING FOR THE NOTEBOOK

Maintaining The LCD Quality


When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working session, the
typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the display surface – no
matter what type it is – and the components inside the notebook radiates heat, when you
close the cover, you trap the heat againts the screen. Leave the notebook’s cover open for
about ten minutes while the heat disperses. Make this habit.

You should also enable the power management of your notebook to turn off the LCD power
and display when the system is in inactivity for some time. Adding screen savers is also
acceptable.

Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your notebook.

Battery Care Guidelines


The battery pack furnished with the notebook requires reasonable care and handling to
ensure efficient operation and maximum life. There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if the
battery pack is handled improperly

TO ensure that the battery pack endures normal life cycle, always observe the following
precautions when handling the battery pack:

1. Handle batteries carefully. Do not try to disassemble, crush, puncture, open,


drop, mutilate, short external contacts, disposed of in water or fire, or expose it to
temperatures higher than 60 C.

2. Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
Never use an external charger other that the one supplied with you notebook.

3. Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two.

4. Do not leave your battery in your notebook for longer than 1 month without
plugging in the power adapter.

5. Do not leave battery in storage for more that 2 months without recharging it to
prevent over discharge. Over discharge will hurt the battery.

6. Dispose dead battery properly to protect the environment. The batteries contain
hazardous chemicals and should not be thrown out with household or office trash

8-6
CHAPTER 8 – CARING FOR THE NOTEBOOK

When You Travel


For safety and convenience when traveling, please follow these instructions:

1. Backup all needed files on your hard disk before traveling.

2. Recharge your battery overnight to ensure full battery power before you leave.

3. Do not forget to bring along the AC adapter and extra battery pack.

4. Try to bring backup software as well.

5. Check the voltage rating and the outlet type of your destination. If the power cord
of the adapter is different, then you need to purchase a suitable one consult your
dealer.

APPENDIX

ISO 13406-2 class II

Axioo applies International Standard ISO 13406 Class II to assure the quality of Axioo
notebook LCD. ISO 13406-2 is an ISO standard to define the maximum pixel error which is
still tolerable.

Definition of pixel is

One LCD screen consists of arrays of pixels where the amount depends on the LCD
resolution (Example: 1280 x 800 means consists of 1.024.000 pixel). Every pixel consists of
three compositor sub-pixels which are Red, Green, and Blue.

Types of pixel error are categorized into

Type 1
Pixel is always ON

Type 2
Pixel is always OFF

Type 3
Sub Pixel is ON or OFF

Type 4/Cluster
Sub Pixel is ON or OFF in a 5 x 5 pixel cluster

The number of pixel error which is still allowed can be calculated using the formula
The Number of Pixel Tolerance = (The number of pixel in resolution / 1.000.000) x Multiplier
for each category.
The value of total Pixel Tolerance will be rounded up.

A - 12
APPENDIX

Following the ISO Standard 13406 Class II, the variable of multipliers for each category is
defined as following
Type 1 = 2 x

Type 2 = 2 x

Type 3 = 5 x

Type 4 = 2 x

Following are the number of pixel error which is still tolerable based on the size of the LCD

Amount of Type Type Type
