Safety Instructions

Dangers for children and people with reduced ability to operate electronics

− This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or for those without experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they have been instructed in its use.

− Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. Children should not be allowed to use this device without supervision.

− Keep the device and its accessories out of the reach of children.

DANGER!

Risk of suffocation!

Keep plastic packaging out of the reach of children. There is a risk of suffocation.

Operational Safety

Please read this section carefully and follow all instructions given.

The instructions will help you to operate the notebook reliably and increase its service life.

− Never open the housing of the notebook, battery or mains adapter! This could result in an electric shock or even ignite a fire which will damage your notebook.

− Do not insert anything into the notebook through the slots and openings. This could result in an electric shock or even ignite a fire which will damage your notebook.

− The slots and openings on the notebook are for ventilation purposes. Do not cover these openings as this could cause the device to overheat.


AUS

1300 884 987


AUS

Safety Instructions

− The notebook is not intended for use by companies in the heavy industry sector.

− To avoid damage from lightning strikes, do not operate the notebook during thunderstorms.

− Do not place any objects on top of the notebook and do not exert pressure on the display. Otherwise, there is a risk that the display may break.

− If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens, pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and send them to your service centre for professional disposal.

Finally, wash your hands with soap, as the pieces may have been contaminated with chemicals.

− Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.

Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the notebook.

Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the display.

− In order to avoid any damage to the device, ensure that the plug contacts do not come into contact with water under any circumstances. If this should nevertheless occur, it is imperative that the plug contacts are rubbed dry before the device is used again.

− To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with fingers or sharp objects.

− Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the hinges.

− Over time, dust can collect inside the notebook which then blocks the vents. This can lead to an increase in the fan speed and, therefore, also increase the operating volume of your notebook. It can also lead to overheating and malfunctions.

Therefore, have the interior of the notebook cleaned by your service department or a specialist at regular intervals.



AUS

1300 884 987

AUS

Safety Instructions

− Should the below occur, switch the notebook off immediately/ do not switch the notebook on, disconnect the mains plug and contact customer services if

• the mains adapter or the attached power cable or plug is burnt or damaged. Replace faulty mains cables/mains adaptors only with original parts. These parts should not be repaired under any circumstances.

• the notebook housing is damaged or liquid has penetrated into the device. Have the notebook inspected by customer services. Otherwise, it may not be possible to operate the notebook safely. There may be a risk of electric shock and/or harmful laser radiation!

If the notebook gets wet,

− do not switch on.

− disconnect the power cable.

− not switch on until the notebook has dried off completely.

Never Carry Out Repairs Yourself

DANGER!

Risk of electric shock!

Never try to open or repair the device yourself. There is a risk of electric shock.

− If there is a fault, contact the Medion Service Center or other suitable specialist workshop.

Data Backup

NOTICE!

Data loss!

Back up your data on external storage media before each update. We do not accept any liability for claims for compensation arising from loss of data or any consequential loss or damage.


AUS

1300 884 987


AUS

Safety Instructions

Setup Location

− Keep your notebook and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Noncompliance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the notebook.

− Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements, such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.

− Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling down.

− Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long periods on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on the underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.

− This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.

Environmental Requirements

− The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between 5 °C (+41 °F) and 30 °C (+86 °F) and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensation).

− When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between 0 °C and 60 °C (+32 °F and 140 °F).

− During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug. For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent the notebook from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.

− After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has reached room temperature before switching it on. Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation.

This can cause an electrical short circuit.

− Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to be sent in.



AUS

1300 884 987

AUS

Safety Instructions

Ergonomics

NOTICE!

Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your eyes.

The notebook should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker display. The notebook should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front.

Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is incorrect as reflections from the bright window on the screen will then be unavoidable. A position looking onto the window is also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the bright daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.

The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting equipment.

In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is illuminated with artificial light. Where space restrictions make it impossible to set up the screen as described, then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/screen can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-dark contrast, etc. In many cases, an improvement can also be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds on the windows, partition walls or by changing the artificial lighting equipment.

Safety Instructions

Connecting

Follow the instructions below to connect your notebook correctly and safely:

Power Supply

DANGER!


Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. There is a risk of electric shock when the housing is open. It does not contain any parts requiring maintenance.

− The socket outlet must be close to the notebook and easily accessible.

− To disconnect the power supply from your notebook (via the mains adaptor), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.

− Plug the notebook’s mains adapter into AC 100–240 V~,

50 - 60 Hz earthed sockets only. If you are not sure about the power supply at the set-up location, please ask your power supplier.

− Only use this notebook and accompanying mains adapter with each other.

− For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent your notebook from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Safety Instructions

WARNING!

Impairment to hearing!

Listening through earphones or headphones at excessive volume levels, as well as changes to the basic settings of the equaliser, drivers, software or operating system generates excessive acoustic pressure and can lead to loss of hearing.

− Before pressing play, set the volume to the lowest setting.

− Start playback and increase the volume to a comfortable level.

Cabling

− Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or might cause a risk for tripping.

− To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on them.

− Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards, mouse and monitor, etc. – when the notebook is switched on to avoid damage to the notebook or the devices. Some devices may also be connected while the computer is running. This is generally the case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe the relevant operating instructions.

− Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeakers, mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.

− Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than

3 metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this notebook. Please only use double-shielded cables for printer cable connections.

− Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested in our laboratory.

− In addition, when connecting your peripherals only use the connecting cables supplied with those devices.


AUS

1300 884 987


AUS

Safety Instructions

All operating software is already fully preinstalled on the notebook so there is no need for you to install any more drivers and you can get started right away.

− Before starting, insert the battery by placing it into the compartment until it clicks into place. Be sure to fasten the battery compartment to prevent the battery falling out.

− Connect the supplied mains adapter to the notebook. Next, connect the power cable to the adapter and then plug it into a mains socket.

− Always hold the display fi rmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the display.

− Open up the display to the desired position using your thumb and forefi nger. The display should not be folded back by more than 120°.

NOTICE!

− When first operating your notebook please ensure that the battery is inserted and the mains adapter is connected. This is required for Windows® 8 to correctly work out the Windows® 8 performance index.

− Switch the notebook on by pressing the on/off button

Hard Drive

Hard Drive

The hard drive is your main memory medium and combines high storage capacity with rapid data access. Your notebook is supplied with an OEM version * of the Microsoft Windows®8 operating system which supports all of the notebook’s performance features. We have configured your notebook’s hard drive so that you will be able to work with it optimally without having to install any additional drivers yourself. The Windows®8 operating system requires part of the capacity to manage the hard drive therefore the hard drive’s full capacity is not available. This explains any differences between the UEFI firmware configuration and the operating system display. The notebook’s operating system, other applications and security data are located on the hard drive meaning that the full capacity is already reduced.

The first partition (C:\) contains the operating system, the applications and the “Documents” folder for the configured user.

Network Connection

Connect one end of a cable with a RJ45 connection (western jack) to your

Notebook’s network interface and the other to a different computer or hub/ switch. You can find more details about the network in the Windows® 8 help.

Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)

This function enables you to establish a network connection to a corresponding remote station. Please read about the necessary requirements. The Wi-Fi function is enabled and disabled via the Windows ® 8 menu and is activated by default.

NOTICE!

Do not operate the Wi-Fi function in locations (e.g.: hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are sure it will cause no interference.

Requirements

A so called Wi-Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi-Fi access point is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your Notebook and controls access to the connected network.

Wi-Fi access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and networks or to the Internet.

Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges. Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so called routers establish the connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and the Wi-Fi.

A connection can also be established to another end device with Wi-Fi functionality without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those devices directly connected to it.

Network Operation

If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices. Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.

The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users accessing the remote station.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:

• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.

• Transferring fi les between computers or between a computer and another device.

• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.

• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).

• The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending on the device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls, jacket pockets and briefcases using a Bluetooth device.

The transfer between Bluetooth devices occurs at the high frequency of

2.4 Gigahertz (GHz). For Bluetooth high speed data transfer, Wi-Fi must be enabled and the partner station must also support the high speed mode.

NOTICE!

Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.: hospitals, air planes, etc.) where there is sensitive equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are sure it will cause no interference.

NOTICE!

The current Windows family currently includes Windows® 8 and

Windows® 8.1. Windows® 8.1 is the first update of the Windows® 8 generation.

Getting to Know Windows® 8

Windows® 8, the new operating system from Microsoft, contains a series of innovative functions and new technologies that your notebook uses to work quickly and reliably. At the same time, it is also designed to be easy to use.

Windows Activation

To protect against software piracy, Microsoft has introduced product activation. The Windows® 8 version installed on your notebook and supplied with the notebook must be activated to enable you to use of all Windows® 8 functions.

To do this, you require simply an Internet connection. The activation process is fully automatic; no personal data will be transmitted.

If no Internet connection is available, select telephone activation as follows:



− Select the Activate Windows item.

− Now click activate by phone.

− Click Next after choosing your country.

− Call one of the specifi ed hotlines on the telephone and read out the column of fi gures displayed when prompted to do so.

− You will then be given a confi rmation ID over the telephone.

Enter this in the empty fi eld and click Activate.

8 – What’s New

Microsoft Account

A Microsoft account is an email address and password for logging in to

Windows® 8. You can use any email address. We recommend using the address you use to communicate with friends and log into your favourite web sites, however.

The Microsoft account also allows you to purchase or download apps from the

Store and install them on up to five devices.

Once you have logged on to your notebook using a Microsoft account, you also have access to the various services and programs provided by Microsoft.

• The contact information and status updates for your friends from services such as Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn will be updated automatically as soon as you run these services using your Microsoft account.

• You can also access and share your photos, documents and other fi les via

SkyDrive, Facebook and Flickr.

• Your personal settings, including designs, language settings, Internet favourites and apps will be synchronised with each PC running Windows®

8 that you log on to.

• You can obtain Apps from the Windows

®

8 Store. You can use these on any

PC running Windows® 8 that you log on to.

If you wish to create a Microsoft account in Windows® 8, proceed as follows:

− Move the mouse pointer into the top right or bottom corner of the screen and click Settings.

− Click Change PC settings. > Users > Switch to a Microsoft account.

Software

Taskbar (Desktop Mode)

You can start programs from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and switch between programs already running. In Windows® 8 you can place any program onto the taskbar, so that you can always open it with a single click.

You can also rearrange the icons on the taskbar by simply clicking on them and dragging them to the desired position. Move the mouse pointer over the icons and thumbnails of each file or each open window and that program will be displayed. If you move the mouse pointer over the thumbnail, a full screen preview of the window in question appears. When you move the mouse pointer away from the thumbnail again, the full screen preview closes.

Jump Lists

Jump lists offer a practical way of calling up recently opened files. To display the recently used files, simply right-click on the application icon in the taskbar. Thus if you right-click on the Word icon, the recently used Word documents are displayed. You can also easily place other files you wish to have easily to hand in the jump list so that they are always displayed. This allows you to access documents that you use frequently in just a few mouse clicks.

The jump lists for certain programs such as Windows® 8 Media Player can be populated in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, you will see options to play all music or to reopen the last playlist in the jump list for Windows® 8 Media Player.

The frequently visited and last visited websites are displayed in the jump list for Internet Explorer. This therefore allows you to quickly access commands for certain programs that could previously only be called up from the program itself, such as the command to compose a new email message.

Improved Desktop

Windows® 8 simplifies working with windows on the desktop. You therefore have more intuitive options for opening and closing, changing sizes and rearranging.

Windows® 8 makes completing everyday tasks even simpler. The locking function (snaps) makes it easier to compare two open windows, for example.

You do not need to manually adjust the size of the opened windows to make a comparison. Simply drag the window to one of the screen margins using the mouse and it will fill half of the screen.

Software

Click the window’s title bar, “shake” it and all other opened windows are displayed as icons on the task bar. “Shake” the window once more and the other windows are displayed again.

Improved Device Management

Windows® 8 allows you to connect, manage and use all devices via the central

“Devices” function. All devices are shown in a central location.

With the new “Device Stage” technology, however, Windows® 8 goes one step further with device management. Device Stage helps you to use all compatible devices that are connected to the computer. Thanks to Device

Stage you can now display the device status and perform frequently used commands within a single window. Here you will even find images of the devices so you can easily see which devices are connected. The device manufacturers can even adjust Device Stage. For example, if your camera manufacturer releases an updated version of Device Stage, you can see details such as the number of photos on the camera and get links to useful information when you connect the camera to your notebook.

Home Group

With home network groups, a Windows® 8 function, connecting home computers becomes child’s play. A home network group is set up automatically when you connect the first PC running Windows® 8 to the home network. Adding additional PC’s running Windows

®

8 to the home network group can be done very quickly. You can specify precisely what should be shared on each PC with all other PCs in the home network group.

Sharing files on the various home PCs – and on many other devices – is then as easy as if all the data were located on a single hard drive. Thus, you can save digital photos on the computer in the study and then access them easily on a notebook in any other room. Similarly, the printer in the study is automatically shared among all PCs in the house once they are part of the home network group.

What To Do in Case of Hardware Problems

Malfunctions can sometimes have quite trivial causes, but they may also be the result of defective components. We have included a brief troubleshooting guide below which may help to solve any problems.

If these tips don’t do the trick, then we’ll be more than pleased to help you out. Just give us a call!

Find the Cause

Start by carefully checking all the cable connections. If the notebook is connected to peripheral devices, check all the cable connections here too.

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Do not swap around the cables for the various devices, even if they look alike. The pin assignments within the cables may be different.

The notebook will not switch on.

− If the notebook is in battery mode, connect the notebook to the mains adapter and check that the battery is charged or being charged.

− If you are already operating the notebook using the mains adapter, disconnect the mains adapter from the socket and connect an electrical appliance such as a lamp to the same socket to test it. If the lamp does not work either, seek the advice of an electrician.

The screen is black.

• This fault can have various causes:

• The operating light (on/off button) does not light up and the Notebook is in hibernation.

Solution:

Press the on/off button

Do You Need More Help?

You’ve checked through the suggestions in the previous section and you’re still having problems with your device? Then call our hotline or contact us at www.medion.com. We’ll be glad to help you.

Before contacting your technology centre, however, prepare the following information:

• Have you made any upgrades or modifi cations to the initial confi guration?

• What is the model number of your notebook? (model number to be found on the rating plate of your product)

• What peripheral devices do you use?

• What messages, if any, appear?

• What software were you using when the problem occurred?

• What steps have you already taken to try and rectify the problem?

Driver Support

The system has been thoroughly and successfully tested with the installed drivers in our test laboratory. It is normal in the computer sector, however, for the drivers to need updating from time to time. This is because there may be compatibility problems with other components (programs, devices) which have not yet been tested. You can find current drivers on the Internet at the following address: http://www.medion.com

Please use the service address for the country where the device was purchased.

Transport

Please note the following information if you wish to transport the Notebook:

− Switch the Notebook off. This ensures that the hard drive heads are automatically moved to a safe area to avoid damage.

− After transporting the Notebook, wait until the appliance has reached room temperature before switching it on. Large changes in temperature or fl uctuations in humidity can cause moisture build-up within the

Notebook due to condensation. This can cause an electrical short circuit.

− Close the Notebook and check that the lid is fi rmly closed.

− Always use a Notebook carrying case to protect the Notebook from dirt, moisture, vibrations and scratches.

− Always use the original cardboard packaging to ship your Notebook and obtain advice on this from your carrier.

− Always charge your battery fully before embarking on longer trips and do not forget to take along your mains adapter.

− Find out about the power and communication options available in your destination before travelling.

− Where necessary, purchase the required power or communication adapter (LAN etc.) before departure.

− When going through the hand luggage check at the airport it is recommended that you send the Notebook and all magnetic storage media (external hard drives) through the x-ray facility (the device that scans your bags). Avoid the magnetic sensor (the structure that you walk through) or the magnetic hand scanner (the manual device used by security personnel) as this may destroy your data, among other things.

European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard

European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard

For active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, each of which consist of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of approx. 6.2 million control transistors in use. Due to the very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled.

In the past, there were a number of approaches for defining the permitted number of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and varied from one manufacturer to the next. When handling warranty issues for all of its display products, MEDION therefore adheres to the strict and transparent requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, Class

II; which has been briefly summarised below.

The EN 9241-307 standard defines, amongst other things, the generally applicable guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault classes and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).

Pixel structure

5 Pixel

Rows

Sub-Pixel red

Pixel blue green


AUS

1300 884 987


AUS


Pixel defect types:

• Type 1: permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three subpixels.

• Type 2: non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated.

• Type 3: abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g. permanently illuminated at half brightness, one colour not illuminated, fl ashing or fl ickering but not type 1 or 2)

Supplement: Type 3 cluster (= failure of two or more sub-pixels within a 5 x 5 pixel block). A cluster is a field of 5 x 5 pixels (15 x 5 sub-pixels).
