Power System
Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. 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. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.
24
You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem adapters for almost every country.
WARNING! DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet prior to connecting the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so may damage the AC-DC adapter.
Notebook PC User Manual
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing.
Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.
WARNING! 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.
Unplug the power adapter or switch off the AC outlet to minimize the power consumption when the Notebook PC is not in use.

Using Battery Power
The battery consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the
BIOS setup.
Battery Care
The Notebook PC’s battery, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC.
WARNING! For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in fire,
DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the Notebook PC and contact an authorized service center.
Notebook PC User Manual
Powering ON the Notebook PC
The Notebook PC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you may adjust the brightness by using the hot keys. If you need to run the BIOS Setup to set or modify the system configuration, press [F2] upon bootup to enter the BIOS
Setup. Press [ESC] and you will be presented with a boot menu with selections to boot from your available drives.
Before bootup, the display panel flashes when the power is turned ON. This is part of the Notebook PC’s test routine and is not a problem with the display.
IMPORTANT! To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least
5 seconds after turning OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
WARNING! DO NOT carry or cover a Notebook PC that is powered ON with any materials that will reduce air circulation such as a carrying bag.
The Power-On Self Test (POST)
When you turn ON the Notebook PC, it will first run through a series of software-controlled diagnostic tests called the Power-On
Self Test (POST). The software that controls the POST is installed as a permanent part of the Notebook PC’s architecture. The POST includes a record of the Notebook PC’s hardware configuration, which is used to make a diagnostic check of the system. This record is created by using the BIOS Setup program. If the POST discovers a difference between the record and the existing hardware, it will display a message on the screen prompting you to correct the conflict by running BIOS Setup. In most cases the record should be correct when you receive the Notebook PC. When the test is finished, you may get a message reporting “No operating system found” if the hard disk was not preloaded with an operating system. This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected and ready for the installation of a new operating system.
Notebook PC User Manual 27
28
Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) checks the hard disk drive during
POST and gives a warning message if the hard disk drive requires servicing. If any critical hard disk drive warning is given during bootup, backup your data immediately and run Windows disk checking program. To run
Window’s disk checking program: click Start > select Computer > right-click a hard disk drive icon
> choose Properties > click the
Tools tab > click Check Now > click Start. You can also select “Scan ... sectors” for more effective scan and repair but the process will run slower.
IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk checking utility, you should take your
Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use may result in data loss.
Notebook PC User Manual
Checking Battery Power
The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel.
Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not reflect what you see in your system.
You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).
Right-click the battery icon
Pointer over the battery icon without power adapter.
Left-click the battery icon Pointer over the battery icon with power adapter.
WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted. STR is not the same as power OFF.
STR requires a small amount of power and will fail and lose data if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
Notebook PC User Manual 29
30
Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the
Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the Notebook PC is turned
OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned
ON. The battery status indicator on the Notebook PC turns OFF when the battery pack is charged.
The battery starts charging when the charge remaining in the battery drops below 95%. This prevents the battery from charging frequently. Minimizing the recharge cycles helps prolong battery life.
The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high.
WARNING! DO NOT leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.

32 Notebook PC User Manual
Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system.
The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand.
Sleep and Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows
> Control Panel > Hardware
and Sound > Power Options. In
Power Options, you can define
“Sleep/Hibernate” or “Shut Down” for closing the display panel or pressing the power button.
“Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves power when your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. “Shut Down” will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved.
Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-
RAM (STR). This function stores your current data and status in
RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. Click the Windows button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut [Fn F1] to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key except
[Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)
Notebook PC User Manual 33
34
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered.
“Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”. Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option.
Recover by pressing the power button. (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode.)
Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook
PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).
• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.
• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit.
• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper limit.

Caring for the touchpad
The touchpad is pressure sensitive. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take note of the following precautions.
• Ensure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
• Do not scratch the touchpad with your finger nails or any hard objects.
The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.

Storage Devices
Storage devices allow the Notebook PC to read or write documents, pictures, and other files to various data storage devices.
Flash Memory Card Reader
Normally a memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras,
MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC has a single built-in memory card reader that can use flash memory cards as shown in the example below. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the internal high-bandwidth
PCI bus.
IMPORTANT! Flash memory card compatibility varies depending on Notebook PC model and flash memory card specifications.
Flash memory card specifications constantly change so compatibility may change without warning.
SD / MMC
The actual location of the Flash Memory Slot differs by models.
Refer to the previous chapter to locate the Flash Memory Slot.
IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, formatting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur.
WARNING! To prevent data loss, use “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” in the Windows notification area before removing the flash memory card.
Notebook PC User Manual 47
Connections
The built-in network cannot be installed later as an upgrade.
After purchase, network can be installed as an expansion card.
Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100
Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.
1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.
48 Notebook PC User Manual
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet
(TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional.)
Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernet controller.

DVD-ROM Drive Information
The Notebook PC comes with an optional DVD-ROM drive or a
CD-ROM drive. In order to view DVD titles, you must install your own DVD viewer software. Optional DVD viewer software may be purchased with this Notebook PC. The DVD-ROM drive allows the use of both CD and DVD discs.
Regional Playback Information
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital
AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in “Region
Definitions” below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions,
CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.
The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

JATE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council
Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.

On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the
CTR 21 has been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR
21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network).
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone multifrequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties”
Notebook PC User Manual A-19
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties. The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings.
It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on another network.”
Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-
European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s first modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems.
Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller ID facilities.
