Removal Warning VIII Preface Travel Considerations Packing As you get ready for your trip, run through this list to make sure the system is ready to go:

1. Check that the battery pack and any spares are fully charged. 2. Power off the computer and peripherals. 3. Close the display panel and make sure its latched. 4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter and cables. Stow them in the carrying bag. 5. The AC/DC adapter uses voltages from 100 to 240 volts so you wont need a second voltage adapter. However, check with your travel agent to see if you need any socket adapters. 6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bags straps. 7. If youre taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices adapters and/or cables. 8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hard-

ware and software. Make sure your documents are prepared.

Power Off Before Traveling Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) while the computer is in use. IX Preface On the Road In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshooting, keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook - For security, dont let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is very common. Dont check it with normal luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knock-

ing the computer against hard objects. Beware of Electromagnetic fields - Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray machines can damage the com-

puter, hard disk, floppy disks, and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to turn it on). Note:

Some airports also scan luggage with these devices. Fly safely - Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in flight. These restrictions are for your safety, follow them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make sure its secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened. Get power where you can - If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC/DC adapter and keep your battery(ies) charged. Keep it dry - If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate. X Developing Good Work Habits Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain:

Preface Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position. Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably. Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles a footrest if necessary. when you are working. Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time. Remember to:

Alter your posture frequently. Stretch and exercise your body several times a day. Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than fewer and longer breaks. XI Preface Lighting Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders. Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly. Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance. Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position. LCD Screen Care To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idle time. Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long). Rotate desktop background images every few days. Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.

agement conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer

(the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. This chapter covers:

The Power Sources Turning on the Computer Power Plans Power-Saving States Configuring the Power Buttons Battery Information The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating system

(OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user set-

tings and information from applications. 3 Power Management

OS Note Power management functions will vary slight-

ly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the users manual of your operat-

ing system.

(Note: All pictures used on the following pages are from the Windows Vista OS.) Overview 3 - 1 Power Management 3 The Power Sources The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack. AC/DC Adapter Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/

DC adapter will damage the computer and its components. 1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack on the left of the computer. 2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter. 3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle. 4. Press the power button to turn On. Battery The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge completely before recharging (see How do I completely discharge the battery?

on page 3 - 14). We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the bat-

tery, please refer to Battery Information on page 3 - 10. 3 - 2 The Power Sources Power Management 3

Shut Down Note that you should al-

ways shut your comput-

er down by choosing the Shut Down command from the Lock Button Menu in Windows Vis-

ta. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems. Turning on the Computer Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the pow-

er button on the front panel. When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-

key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power button for longer than this will force the computer to shut down). Use Power Op-

tions (Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista to configure this feature.

Forced Off If the system hangs, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesnt work, press the pow-

er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off. Power Button Sleep Sleep is the default power mode when the power button is pressed for less than 4 seconds. You may configure the options for the power button from the Power Options (Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OSs documentation, or Configuring the Power Buttons on page 3 - 8 for details). Turning on the Computer 3 - 3 Power Plans The computer can be configured to conserve power by means of power plans. You can use (or modify) an existing power plan, or create a new one. The settings may be adjusted to set the display to turn off after a specified time, and to send the computer into Sleep after a period of inactivity. Click Change plan settings and then click Change advanced power settings to ac-

cess further configuration options in Advanced Settings. Power Management 3

Resuming Operation See Table 3 - 1, on page 3 - 9 for informa-

tion on how to resume from a power-saving state. Password It is recommended that you enable a password on system resume in or-

der to protect your data. Figure 3 - 1 Power Plan Advanced Settings 3 - 4 Power Plans Each Windows power plan will also adjust the processor performance of your ma-

chine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power). Choose High performance for maximum performance when the computer is pow-

ered from an AC power source. Choose the Power saver (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) pow-

Power Button The Power Button in the Start Menu (in Classic View use the Shut Down button

) can be used to send the computer into a power-

saving state. Sleep Mode &

Mobile PC Battery A mobile PC in Sleep uses very little battery power. After an extended peri-

od of time the computer will save any open docu-

ments and applications to hard disk. Power-Saving States You can use power-saving states to stop the computers operation and restart where you left off. Sleep is the default power-saving state in Windows Vista. Earlier versions of Windows used Stand By and Hibernate as system power-saving states. Windows Vista combines the features of Stand By and Hibernate into the de-

fault Sleep power-saving state. Sleep In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before the system sleeps. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep to save power. The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used. If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only a minimum amount of power. After an extended period the system will save all the information to the hard disk and shut the computer down before the battery becomes depleted. 3 - 6 Power-Saving States Hibernate Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost. Hi-

bernate will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should put your mobile PC into Hibernate if you will not use the computer for a period of time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery. Shut Down You should shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware (dont for-

get to remove the battery and follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 6), plan to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from shut down takes longer than from Sleep or Hibernate. 3 Power Management

Silent Mode You can use Silent Mode to reduce power consumption and fan noise. Use the Silent Mode hot key to toggle this mode on/off. On screen visual indica-

tors and the LED indica-

tor will display the Silent Mode status (see Table 1 - 3, on page 1 -

Diagnostics: The POST (Power-On Self Test) Configuration: The Setup utility If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes to the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first and note the original settings found in Setup. Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the set-

tings you find and any changes you make. This information could be useful if your system ever needs servicing. There is one general rule: Dont make any changes unless you are sure of what you are doing. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, consult your service representative. BIOS Utilities

you disable time Diagnostic Screen, the POST screen will not appear. Figure 5 - 1 POST Screen The Power-On Self Test (POST) Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST, including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory). As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there is a problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary and prompt you to run Setup. If there are no problems, the Setup prompt will disappear and the system will load the operating system. Once that starts, you cant get into Setup without rebooting.

A further level of security and control is provid-

ed in the BIOS (see Security Menu on page 5 - 10). The fingerprint reader and Protector Suite Software allow you to:

Access or Lock your computer Protect sensitive files Display and file your favorite web pages Fill in frequently used dialogs Run your favorite applications The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a sys-

tem administrator before users can access security features. Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader. See overleaf for information installing and configuring the Protector Suite Soft-

ware, and see Trusted Platform Module on page 7 - 25 for information on TPM. 7 - 2 Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM) Fingerprint Reader Module If you have included the fingerprint reader in your purchase option you will need to install the driver as per the instructions below.

If you dont find the answer in these pages, make sure you have followed the instructions carefully and observed the safety precautions in the preface. If all else fails, talk to your service representative. You should also make a record of what happened and what remedies you tried. Of course, if something goes wrong, it will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, so you should preview this section just in case. If, after youve tried everything, and the system still wont cooperate, try turning it off for a few minutes and then rebooting. You will lose any unsaved data, but it may start working again. Then call your service representative. 8 Overview 8 - 1 Troubleshooting Basic Hints and Tips Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-

pears not to be working. Power - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a power strip, make sure it is actually working. Check the LED Power & Communication Indicators (see LED Indica-

tors on page 1 - 7) to see the computers power status. Connections - Check all the cables to make sure that there are no loose connections anywhere. Power Savings - Make sure that the system is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode by pressing the keys config-

ured in your Power Options (see Power-Saving States on page 3 - 6), the Fn + F4 key combination, or power button to wake-up the system. 8 Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn + F8 and F9 keys to adjust the bright-

ness. Display Choice - Press Fn + F7 to make sure the system is not set to external only display. Boot Drive - Make sure there are no optical media and/or USB storage devices in any connected drive

(this is a common cause of the message Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and then press any key /

Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart). 8 - 2 Basic Hints and Tips Troubleshooting Backup and General Maintenance Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and programs safe, but close to hand. Dont forget to note the serial numbers if you are storing them out of their original cases, e.g. in a CD wal-

let. Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule these pro-

grams to run at times when you are not using your computer. You can use those that are provided free with your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so. Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your computer). This is especially important if you choose to use a Supervisor password for the BIOS (see The Power-On Self Test (POST) on page 5 -

2). Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings, mail settings etc.(even if just brief notes). 8 The CPU is not a user serviceable part. Opening this compartment, or accessing the CPU in any way, may violate your war-

ranty.

Warranty Backup and General Maintenance 8 - 3 Troubleshooting Viruses Install an Anti-Virus program and keep the definitions file (the file which tells your program which viruses to look for) up to date. New computer viruses are discovered daily, and some of them may seriously harm your computer and cause you to lose data. Anti-Virus programs are commercially available and the defini-

tions file updates are usually downloadable directly from the internet. Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you dont know. Viruses are often triggered from within e-

mail attachments so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most Anti-Virus pro-

grams to check all e-mail attachments. Note: You should also beware of files from people you know as the virus may have infected an address book and been automatically forwarded without the persons knowl-

edge. 8 Keep a Bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/USB storage device (this CD/DVD/USB device provides basic information which allows you to startup your computer) handy. You may refer to your OSs documentation for instructions on how to make one, and many Anti-Virus programs will also provide such a disk (or at least instructions on how to make one). 8 - 4 Viruses Troubleshooting Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what you are doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system. Dont open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable with what you are doing. Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the computers manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many problems are caused by the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the documentation of any new hardware and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled READ ME or READ ME FIRST. When installing a new device always make sure the device is powered on, and in many cases you will need to restart the computer. Always check that all the cables are correctly connected. 8 Make sure you have installed the drivers for any new hardware you have installed (latest driver files are usually available to download from vendors websites). Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software 8 - 5 Troubleshooting Thoroughly check any recent changes you made to your system as these changes may affect one or more system components, or software programs. If possible, go back and undo the change you just made and see if the problem still occurs. Dont over complicate things. The less you have to deal with then the easier the source of the problem may be found; Example - if your computer has many devices plugged into its ports, and a number of programs running, then it will be difficult to determine the cause of a problem. Try disconnecting all of the devices and restarting the computer with all the peripheral devices unplugged. A process of elimination (adding and removing devices and restarting where necessary) will often find the source of a problem, although this may be time consuming. 8 8 - 6 Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software Problems and Possible Solutions Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause - Solution You turned on the power but it doesnt work. Battery missing / incorrectly installed. Check the battery bay, make sure the battery is present and seated properly (the design of the battery only allows it to go in one way). Make sure theres nothing interfering with the battery contacts. The battery LED power indicator

, is blinking orange. You are losing battery power too quickly. Actual battery operating time than expected. is shorter Low Battery. Plug in the DC power source. If the computer doesnt start up immediately, turn it off then on again. The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme (see Power Plans on page 3 - 4/Power Schemes on page D - 18) check its settings. You may also be using an ExpressCard/USB device/external device that is drawing a lot of power. The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fully discharged and recharge it completely before reusing (see Battery Information on page 3 -

10/Battery Information on page D - 23). Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-enable the options. A peripheral device/USB device/ExpressCard is consuming a lot of power. Turn off/remove the unused device to save power. 8 Problems and Possible Solutions 8 - 7 Troubleshooting Problem The computer feels too hot. Possible Cause - Solution Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the Vent/Fan intakes are not blocked. If this doesnt cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure the computer isnt sitting on a thermal surface (see Overheating on page 1 - 14). Make sure youre using the correct adapter. Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vent/Fan intakes to be blocked. Nothing appears on screen. The system is in a power saving mode. Toggle the sleep/resume key combination, Fn + F4 (see Configuring the Power Buttons on page 3 - 8/Configuring the Power Button on page D

- 22). 8 No image appears on the external monitor I have plugged in and powered on. The screen controls need to be adjusted. Toggle the screen control key combinations Fn + F8/F9. If youre connected to an external monitor, make sure its plugged in and turned on. You should also check the monitors own brightness and contrast controls. The computer is set for a different display. Toggle the screen display key combination, Fn + F7. If an external monitor is connected, turn it on. The screen saver is activated. Press any key or touch the TouchPad. You havent installed the video driver and configured it appropriately from the Control Panel. See Appendix B/Video Features on page D - 7 for instructions on installing and configuring the video driver. 8 - 8 Problems and Possible Solutions Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause - Solution forget You password. the boot If you forget the password, you may have to discharge the battery of the CMOS. Contact your service representative for help. If you choose to set a boot password, NEVER forget your password. The consequences of this could be serious. If you cannot remember your boot password you must contact your vendor and you may lose all of the information on your hard disk.

D Figure D - 11 - Display Properties (Extended Desktop) D - 14 Attaching Other Displays Windows XP Information Power Management Features To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer uses the ACPI power management system. Power management conserves power by controlling in-

dividual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. The Power Options control panel icon in Windows (see page D - 3) allows you to configure power management features for your computer. You may conserve power through individual components such as the monitor or hard disk, or you may use ei-

ther Stand by or Hibernate mode to conserve power throughout the system. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques and gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into low-

power states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows XP.

OS Note Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the users manual of your operating system.

(Note: All pictures used on the following pages are from the Windows XP OS.) D Power Management Features D - 15 Windows XP Information The Power Sources The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack. AC/DC Adapter Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/DC adapter will damage the computer and its components. 1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer. 2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter. 3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle. 4. Press the power button to turn On. Battery The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge completely before recharging (see How do I completely discharge the battery?

on page D - 26). We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the battery, please refer to Battery Information on page D - 23. D D - 16 The Power Sources Windows XP Information Turning on the Computer Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the pow-

er button on the front panel. When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Stand by/Hibernate/

Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options in the Windows control panel to configure this feature.

Forced Off If the system hangs, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesnt work, press the pow-

er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off. Power Button as Stand by or Hibernate Button If you are using a fully ACPI-compliant OS, (such as Windows XP) you can use the OSs Power Options control panel to set the power button to send the system into Stand by or Hibernate mode (see your OSs documentation, or Configuring the Power Button on page D - 22 for details).

Shutdown Note that you should al-

ways shut your comput-

er down by choosing the Turn Off Computer command from the Start menu in Windows. This will help prevent hard disk or system prob-

lems. D Turning on the Computer D - 17 Windows XP Information Power Schemes You can set your computer to conserve power through individual components by means of Power Schemes. You can also adjust the settings for each scheme to set the monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer's hard disk motor to turn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (if the system reads or writes data, the hard disk motor will be turned back on). The schemes may also be set to set a specified time for the system to enter Stand by or Hibernate modes (see System Power Options on page D - 20).

Resuming Operation Press a key on the key-

board, or move the mouse/TouchPad to re-

sume from Monitor or Hard Disk Stand by. Figure D - 12 Power Schemes D D - 18 Power Schemes Windows XP Information Each Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of your machine in order to save pow-

er. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power). Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an AC power source. Choose the Max Battery scheme (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall per-

formance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) powered. Windows will use Portable/Laptop as the default scheme. D Power Schemes D - 19 Windows XP Information System Power Options You can use the system power options to stop the computers operation and restart where you left off. This system features Stand by and Hibernate sleep mode levels

(Hibernate mode will need to be enabled by clicking the option in the Hibernate tab in the Power Options control panel - see Hibernate on page D - 21). Hibernate Mode vs. Shutdown Hibernate mode and Shutdown are the same in that the system is off and you need to press the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is:

When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you last left off

(what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used. You can use either method depending on your needs. Stand by Mode vs. Hibernate Mode If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system on Stand by instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system from Hibernate mode than from Stand by mode.

Stand by/Hibernate or Shutdown Error The computer may stop responding when you put it into (or resume from) Stand By or Hiber-

nate, or when you shut down. This error is caused by power management within Windows XP, when applied to a PC Camera attached to the internal USB hub. Microsoft has posted a Hotfix for this error on its website (search for Hot-

fix KB909667). Download and install the Hotfix to correct this er-

ror. D D - 20 System Power Options Windows XP Information Stand by Stand by saves the least amount of power, but takes the shortest time to return to full operation. During Stand by the hard disk is turned off, and the CPU is made to idle at its slowest speed. All open applications are retained in memory. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Stand by mode to save power. Hibernate Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the HDD be-

fore it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest time to return to full operation. You can set your computer to automatically enter Hiber-

nate mode when the battery power is almost depleted. You will need to enable Hi-

bernate mode from the Hibernate tab in the Power Options control panel. The system will resume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button.

Windows XP Information Battery Information Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your battery. New Battery Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see Battery FAQ on page D - 26 for instructions on how to do this). Battery Life Your computers battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs you are running, and peripheral devices attached. Power Options (you may set low battery Alarms and actions, and check the Power Meter from the Power Options control panel), and settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured appropriately.

Low Battery Warning When the battery is criti-

cally low, immediately connect the AC/DC adapter to the computer or save your work, oth-

erwise, the unsaved data will be lost when the power is depleted. Figure D - 15 Power Options

(Alarm & Power Meter) D Battery Information D - 23 Windows XP Information Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its perfor-

mance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days. We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you need to remove the battery for any reason, see Removing the Battery on page 6 - 3. Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and plugged into an electrical out-

let. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to LED Indica-

tors on page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to Battery Information on page D - 23 for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)

Conserving Battery Power To conserve battery power:

Lower the brightness level of the LCD display. The system will decrease LCD brightness slightly to save power when it is not powered by the AC/DC adapter. Close modem or communication applications when they are not being used. Remove any unused PC Cards from the computer (PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters sleep mode). D Disconnect any unnecessary external devices. D - 24 Battery Information Proper handling of the Battery Pack DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other Windows XP Information

Damaged Battery Warning Should you notice any physical defects (e.g. the battery is bent out of shape after being dropped), or any unusual smells emanating from the notebook battery, shut your computer down immediately and contact your service center. If the battery has been dropped we do not recommend using it any further, as even if the computer continues to work with a dam-

aged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire. It is recommended that you replace your computer battery every two years. D Battery Information D - 25 Windows XP Information

Caution Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly re-

placed. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturers in-

structions. Battery FAQ How do I completely discharge the battery?

Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Dont turn off the computer by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the bat-

tery is critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut down on its own. Disable the Power Options functions in the Control Panel, espe-

cially any Alarms (unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 23) and Schemes (change all the settings to Never - see page D - 18). As the battery nears the end of its life save and close any critical files. How do I fully charge the battery?

When charging the battery, dont stop until the LED charging indicator light changes from orange to green. How do I maintain the battery?

Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after about 20 partial discharges.
