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.
The actual location of the power input differs by models. Refer to
the previous chapter to locate the LAN port.
You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power
and modem adapters for almost every country.
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.
24
Notebook PC User Manual
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.
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.
Notebook PC User Manual
25
Using Battery Power
The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together.
A fully charged pack 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 pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has
a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’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 10˚C and 35˚C (50˚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 pack’s usage time will eventually
decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an
authorized dealer for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have
a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.
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.
26
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.
To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds
after turning off your Notebook PC before turning it back on.
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
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 Windows >
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
Notebook PC User Manual
33
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.)
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 Windows 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 ex-
ceeds 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.

Network Connections
Your Notebook PC allows you to connect to the internet and
other networks using the following wired and wireless network
connections.
Wired Network Connections
This Notebook PC supports wired network connections using
Fast/Gigabit Ethernet (1000 BASE-TX) and Twisted Pair Ethernet
technologies.
When using Fast (1000 BASE-TX) or Gigabit Ethernet, your network
cable must be category 5 or better 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.
When using Twisted Pair Ethernet (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 uses the fastest setting
so no user-intervention is required.
Notebook PC User Manual

Using a twisted-pair cable
The cable used to connect the Notebook PC 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).
The following illustration shows you how to connect the Notebook
PC to a local area network (LAN).

DVD-ROM Drive Information
(on selected models)
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs
and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to
view DVD titles.
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.

Internal Modem Compliancy
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with
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.
Overview
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

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.
