Power, Charging and Battery Care
This laptop has a rechargeable battery which will give you usage on the move when recharged. You can also use the power adapter plugged into mains electricity for continuous use (the laptop will recharge its battery while in operation).
It is recommended that the first time you charge your battery you should charge it for at least 8 hours to get the best battery life.
Connecting your Battery Pack
Caution: You must shut your system down before changing the battery pack.
1. Turn the computer over so that the battery slot faces up.
2. Place the battery pack in the battery slot, and align the protrusions on the battery pack with the two slits on the side of the battery slot.
3. Gently push the battery pack into the slot until you hear a click. Lock the battery pack in place by pushing the left battery latch to the left. When you hear a click, the battery pack is locked in.
4. Connect the AC adapter and open the LCD panel. Start charging the battery.
When the battery is charging the Battery Status Indicator will go orange, when fully charged it will turn off.
To remove the battery pack
Unlock the right battery latch to the left until it clicks, and push the right battery latch to the right and hold; then slide the battery pack out of the slot.
Caring for your Battery Pack
Frequent recharging of the battery pack can reduce battery life. To get the most of your battery it is recommended that you periodically fully discharge
(drain the battery’s power to the minimum) and then fully charge the battery pack.
Note: Your battery gradually loses a small amount of power over a long period of time. This is characteristic of all Lithium Ion batteries.
To use the battery pack safely and effectively,
1. Do not short-circuit the battery pack.
2. Keep the battery pack away from heat or fire.
3. Store the battery pack at room temperature.
4. Do not disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances.
5. Do not expose the battery pack to water or moisture.
6. The battery pack should not be removed by children.
7. If the temperature of the battery pack drops below 10 °C it will only trickle charge, which may take anywhere up to 32 hours to be fully charged. This is not recommended.

Green Power Management
Closing the websurfer (lowering the cover) allows you to put the system to
‘sleep’. You can quickly boot up by pressing the Power Button and the system will start up exactly how it was when you closed the lid.
One of the great features of websurfer is the ability to conserve power. The websurfer has an integrated SMM (System Management Mode) on the chipset that shuts down components not in use to reduce power consumption. To set up power management options, go to Control Panel > Power Options.
This feature not only gives you longer battery life but also cools the system and components as well, which ultimately prolongs the life of your websurfer.
Standby Mode
Standby Mode is mainly for power saving. Your display and hard drive are shut down and all open applications and documents are stored in RAM (Random
Access Memory). This allows your websurfer to wake up quickly, but a low level of power is required to maintain this suspended state.
While the websurfer is in Standby mode, the LED power indicator flashes. To resume your work again, press the power button to return to the previous screen you were working on.
Hibernation Mode
In Hibernation mode, all system devices are powered down and the contents of RAM are stored on your hard drive. Hibernate mode uses less power than
Standby mode, but takes a bit longer time to resume. When your websurfer goes into hibernation, Windows saves your entire desktop state before powering down. You don’t need to save and close each document before
Hibernating but it is strongly advised that you do. When you press power button again, the system will bring your websurfer out of hibernation. You'll find your applications and documents open on your desktop exactly as you left them.
Shutdown
All power has been turned off from the UMPC. Always shut down using the
Start > Shutdown procedure.
Connecting your Power Adapter
Use only the AC adapter that is supplied with your laptop, or supplied by an official Elonex reseller. Using any other adapter may cause damage to your laptop.
- to power socket
Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the other end into an
AC power socket (230V). It is recommended that the first time you use your laptop you should charge it for at least 8 hours to get the best battery life.
Warning
Do not overload an electrical outlet with connections to multiple devices.
Overloading an electrical outlet may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not touch the power cord or plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock. Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Turning the power on and off
Turning ON
To turn your laptop on simply press the power button on the top of the computer. The system will then boot into the Windows XP operating system.
The first time you do this you will be asked to enter your personal profile into the Start Up
Wizard to help make your laptop your own.
Sleep/Hibernate
When the computer is on, closing the lid will cause the system to temporarily shut down and enter ‘sleep/hibernate’ mode. You can use Control Panel >
Power Options to configure this feature. You can also configure the power options to get the most out of the battery depending on whether you want higher performance or longer battery life.
Turning OFF
To turn your laptop off save any files, quit all running applications; click [Start] and choose [Shut Down] from the start up menu.
Non Responsive Programs
If a program does not respond, press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination to start Windows Task Manager then quit the non-responsive program or restart the system. Be sure to regularly save your work.
Forced OFF
If the system hangs/crashes for an unknown reason, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the power button for over 4 seconds to force the system to turn itself off. Any unsaved data will be lost.
Caution:
If the HDD indicator is on, do not turn off the computer, as doing so may damage the data being read from or written to the drive.
Warning
If Windows does not shut down correctly, press and hold the power switch for more than 5 seconds; the system will shut down. Turning off the computer this way may damage the system. It is recommended that you always turn off the computer by choosing Shut down in the Start menu.
If Windows or program file is damaged by shutting down the system incorrectly, reinstall the program. Elonex accepts no responsibility for loss of data.

The options let you control the size and colour of the cursor, cursor speed, the accepted double-click speed and selection button orientation.
The buttons either side represent the left and right buttons on a normal mouse.
Using the Touchpad
The rectangular surface acts like a miniature duplicate of your display screen. To move the mouse cursor, place your finger lightly on the sensor pad and move in the desired direction.
To select an item, click on the item by pressing the left button control or by simply tapping on the surface once. A light, quick tap always works best. To execute an item, click the left button twice or do a quick double tap on the surface.
Drag and drop
To drag an object, select and move the object by clicking and holding the left button and sliding the finger across the touch pad without releasing the button.
To drop the object you have just dragged, release the left button. You can use drag and drop to move files from one location to another.
For example, if you want to place a file in the recycle bin, place the pointer above the file you want to move, press the left button and hold, slide your finger across the touch pad to move the file and release the left button above the recycle bin.
Guidelines on using the touch pad
Do not touch the touch pad with a sharp or pointed object as doing so may damage the touch pad. Do not use the touch pad with two fingers, wearing gloves or wet hand as it may not function correctly. Using the touch pad with a dirty or oily finger may damage the touch pad. Do not exert too much pressure on the touch pad as doing so may result in injuries to your finger or wrist.
