The TravelMate Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all models in the TravelMate product series. It covers basic topics such as using the keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the Generic User Guide will occasionally refer to functions or features which are only contained in certain models of the series, but not necessarily in the model you purchased. Such instances are marked in the text with language such as "only for certain models".
The Quick Guide introduces you to the basic features and functions of your new computer. For more on how your computer can help you to be more productive, please refer to the TravelMate Generic User Guide.
This guide contains detailed information on such subjects as system utilities, data recovery, expansion options and troubleshooting. In addition it contains warranty information and the general regulations and safety notices for your notebook. It is available in Portable Document Format
