The Notebook’s keyboard uses a standard QWERTY layout with the addition of special function keys and an embedded numeric keypad for number intensive data entry. Your keyboard supports Windows by incorporating the two Windows specific keys. With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take advantage of many of the timesaving features of Windows software.

The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the application you are running.

The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right corner of your keyboard) and the

[PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End] keys (which are located along the right edge of the keyboard) allow you to move the active cursor of the computer to various locations on the screen or within the document.

The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key, these keys are labeled in blue on the keycaps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper right of each key.

When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will appear in the System Window.

The keypad is activated by pressing the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an external keyboard is connected, pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or external keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison.

25

To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key on the Notebook keyboard.

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.

T h e B a t t t t e r r y P o w e r r S y s s t t e m

A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery life depending on your system configuration application it runs.

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 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If

32

possible, always charge the battery completely.

R e m o v i i n g t t h e B a t t t t e r r y P a c k

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter Two, Inserting and

Removing the Battery Pack.

P r r e p a r r i i n g t t h e B a t t t t e r r y

P a c k f f o r r U s s e

To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:

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.

33

A u t t o m a t t i i c B a t t t t e r r y P a c k

C h a r r g i i n g F u n c t t i i o n

Chapter 7

This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using your computer.

L o c a t t i i n g a P r r o b l l e m

Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.

Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation, deductive reasoning, and an organized approach to solving the problem.

The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic categories: hardware problems and software problems. Hardware problems can be further divided into electrical and mechanical problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the screen is dark, the computer cannot read the disk drives, or you get an error message during the

Power-On Self Test (POST).

Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and the operating system can give you a large number of error messages. On top of this, each application software package has its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether the software error message you are getting is from the application or the operating system.

Once you know this, you can look in the respective manual for a solution to the problem.

C h e c k i i n g C a b l l e s s a n d C o n n e c t t i i o n s s

Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your computer and its peripherals are getting power and

73

74

communicating with each other properly.

To check the power cables, and connections:

1 .

.

If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source and make sure that the battery has a charge.

2 .

.

If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer.

Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box.

If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on.

If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet.

If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make sure the switch is on.

3 .

.

With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.

If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables may be crimped.

N O T E

:

:

:

Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different.

4 .

.

When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are good, turn the computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may have a hardware problem.

T h e P o w e r r

O n

S e l l f f T e s s t t

The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The

POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other installed options.

A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your display screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the memory test.

Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST:

Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the

Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction.

Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as memory status). These non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not be readily apparent. An example of a non-critical error would be a memory chip failure.

In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs.

If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer.

If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the next step is to contact your dealer. Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the following information:

• How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to know what peripheral devices you are using.

What messages, if any, are on the screen?

What software were you running at the time?

What have you done already to try to solve the problem? If you have overlooked a step, your dealer may be able to solve the problem over the phone.
