Touchpad Basics (with fingerprint reader)

The following items show you how to use the touchpad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader:

12

•

•

•

Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.

Press the left (2) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.

Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.

Use Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function

(only for certain models) or the 4-way scroll (3) button (only for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader or button mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.

Function

Execute

Select

Drag

Left Button (2)

Quickly click twice.

Click once.

Click and hold, then use finger on the touchpad to drag the cursor.

Right Button (4) Main touchpad (1)

Tap twice (at the same speed as double-clicking a mouse button).

Tap once.

Tap twice (at the same speed as double-clicking a mouse button); rest your finger on the touchpad on the second tap and drag the cursor.

Access context menu

Click once.

NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.

Chapter 1

Using the Keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key

Caps Lock

Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock <Fn> +

<F12>

Description

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external keypad.

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery

This section provide you the standard operating procedures of clearing password and BIOS recovery for

Aspire 4740 Series. Aspire 4740 Series provides one Hardware Open Gap on main board for clearing password check, and one Hotkey for enabling BIOS Recovery.

Clearing Password Check

Hardware Open Gap Description

Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

Location

Memory bay

Steps for Clearing BIOS Password Check

If users set BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and/or User Password) for a security reason, BIOS will ask the password during systems POST or when systems enter to BIOS Setup menu. However, once it is necessary to bypass the password check, users need to short the HW Gap to clear the password by the following steps:

•

•

Power Off a system, and remove HDD, AC and Battery from the machine.

Open the back cover of the machine, and find out the HW Gap on M/B as picture.

•

•

Use an electric conductivity tool to short the two points of the HW Gap.

Plug in AC, keep the short condition on the HW Gap, and press Power Button to power on the system till BIOS POST finish. Then remove the tool from the HW Gap.

Restart system. Press F2 key to enter BIOS Setup menu.

•

•

If there is no Password request, BIOS Password is cleared. Otherwise, please follow the steps and try again.

NOTE: The steps are only for clearing BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and User Password).

Chapter 2 163

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

BIOS Recovery Boot Block:

BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to a successful one once the previous

BIOS flashing process failed.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey:

The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, for enable BIOS Recovery process when system is powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called Boot

Block.

Steps for BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk:

Before doing this, one Crisis Disk should be prepared ready in hand. The Crisis Disk could be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows 7 OS.

Follow the steps below:

1. Power Off failed system.

2. Attach a USB floppy drive to the failed system.

3. Insert the Crisis Disk in to the USB floppy drive attached to the BIOS flash failed system.

4. In the power-off state, press and hold Fn+Esc then press the Power button.

The system powers on and the Crisis BIOS Recovery process begins.

BIOS Boot Block begins restoring the BIOS code from the Crisis floppy disk to BIOS ROM on the failed systems.

When the Crisis flash process is finished, the system restarts with a workable BIOS.

5. Update to the latest version BIOS for the system using the regular BIOS flashing process.
