If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read only the parts containing information unique to your computer. CAUTION:

Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very hot or cold environment. The computer can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not place the computer on your lap or touch it with your bare hands for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn. 20 Using the Internal Keyboard Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer keyboard plus an Fn key added for specific functions. The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four major categories:

Typewriter keys Cursor-control keys Numeric keys Function keys Typewriter Keys Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are using. Cursor-Control Keys Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes. NOTE: The word cursor refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes. 21 Numeric Keypad A 15-key numeric keypad is embedded in the typewriter keys as shown next:

Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you can use these keys to enter numerals. NOTE:

When the numeric keypad is activated and you need to type the English letter in the keypad area, you can turn Num Lock off or you can press Fn and then the letter without turning Num Lock off. Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on the computer. If so, use the numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead. The Num Lock key can be disabled. (See Main Menu in Chapter 5.) 22 Function Keys On the top row of the keys are the function keys: F1 to F12. Function keys are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual programs. Fn Key The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another key to perform the alternative function of a key. To perform a desired function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key. Hot Keys Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the corresponding function to the other or next choice. You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the keytop. The hot keys are described next. Key Description Switches the keyboard backlight on and off (option). Switches the RF (radio frequency) radio on and off. When off, all wireless modules (such as WLAN, BT, and WWAN) cannot be used. When on, individual settings of the module work. Decreases the sound volume.

The specific functions when used in combination with other keys. The key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click. Application 25 Using the Touchpad CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may damage the touchpad surface. NOTE:

Press Fn+F9 to toggle the touchpad on or off. For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pads clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force. The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons. The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad. Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad:

26 Term Point Click Double-click Action Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the selection on the screen. Press and release the left button. or Tap gently anywhere on the pad. Press and release the left button twice in quick succession. or Tap twice on the pad rapidly. Drag and drop Press and hold the left button, then move your finger until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release the button

(drop) when you finish dragging your selection to the destination. The object will drop into the new location. or Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap, keep your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the selected object will drop into place. Touch Gestures for Windows 10 The touchpad supports touch gestures for Windows 10 such as one-finger scrolling, two-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, rotating, and others. For detailed information, go to Settings Devices Mouse & touchpad Additional mouse options Device Settings Settings. Configuring the Touchpad You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can use the right button as the left button and vice versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on. 27 To configure the touchpad, go to Settings Devices Mouse & touchpad. 28 Navigating on the Screen The screen of your computer is touch-sensitive. You can operate the computer by touching the screen with your finger or the stylus. CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. NOTE: An optical film has been attached to the screen before shipment. The film is a consumable, which will be worn out by possible scratches. You can purchase a new one when replacement is required. Using the Touchscreen Your computer has a capacitive touchscreen. This type of touchscreen responds to objects that have conductive properties, such as fingertips and a capacitive-tipped stylus. You can change the touchscreen sensitivity settings to suit your scenario. Double-tap the Touch Screen Mode shortcut on Windows desktop to open the settings menu and select one of the options (as shown below). Select this if you prefer using fingertips. Also, select this when raindrops are falling on the screen and should be rejected as input. Select this if you are using the stylus. (You must use the one supplied with your model.) Select this if you are wearing gloves (referring to warm gloves or work gloves, not referring to touchscreen-capable gloves). NOTE: If liquid is spilled on the touchscreen causing a wet area, the area will stop responding to any inputs. For the area to function again, you must dry it. 29 The following table shows how you use the touchscreen to obtain equivalent mouse functions. Term/Action Equivalent Mouse Function Tap: Touch the screen once. Double-tap: Touch the screen twice rapidly. Tap and hold: Tap and hold until a popup menu appears.

This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way. 40 AC Adapter CAUTION:

The AC adapter is designed for use with your Computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. The AC power cord supplied with your Computer is for use in the country where you purchased your Computer. If you plan to go overseas with the Computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Computer. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Computer. When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your Computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. 41 Battery Pack Your computer has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the Battery Pack Guidelines section in Chapter 7. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE:

Charging will not start if the batterys temperature is outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and 50 C (122 F). Once the temperature meets the requirements, charging automatically resumes. During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity. The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process (0.21% per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100%). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the computer glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the computer power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. The two battery packs are charged in parallel. It takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately 6 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures). 42 CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. A software tool called Gauge Reset is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager program and select the Battery tab to find the tool. Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. The two battery packs are discharged in parallel. By Operating System You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click the battery icon on the taskbar. By Gas Gauge On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the computer and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge. 43 Push-button Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery. Battery Icon Battery Level Description Discharging The icon shows the charge remaining in 10-percent Low Critically low increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. The battery charge has reached the low-battery level. The battery charge has reached the critical battery level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your computer into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the computers Battery Charge Indicator ( ) also blinks red to alert you to take actions. Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your computer in Hibernation mode, or turning off the computer. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:

There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the computer manufacturers battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealers instructions. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling. 72 Protecting the Computer To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section. Using an Anti-Virus Strategy You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files. Using the Cable Lock You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft. The cable lock is available in computer stores. To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock. Store the key in a safe place. 73 Taking Care of the Computer Location Guidelines For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C (131 F). (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.) Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life. Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed. Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the computer on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping or hitting may damage the computer. Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example, do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer. As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects that are vulnerable to heat. Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker. Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media. General Guidelines Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage the display. 74 Do not move the computer simply by grasping the display screen. To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object. LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use. To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Cleaning Guidelines Never clean the computer with its power on. Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the computer. Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface. If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when possible. Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the computer wet when you can dry it. If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer. Battery Pack Guidelines Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack. The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life:

75 when frequently charging the battery pack when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature. Charge the battery pack between 10 C ~ 30 C (50 F ~ 86 F) temperature range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery packs temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed temperature range. It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a day. It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the computers power off. To maintain the battery packs operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark place removed from the computer and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining. Important guidelines when using the battery pack. When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:

avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of data or the computer may become unstable. avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer. The computers input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery packs charge and discharge time:

charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the computer in Sleep or hibernation mode. a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time. 76 When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 C ~ 50 C (14 F ~ 122 F). Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without recharging it. Touchscreen Guidelines Use your finger or the stylus (if purchased) on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors. Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. Turn off the computer power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display with the power on may cause improper operation. Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display. Using the touchscreen during low temperature (below 5 oC / 41 F) may cause a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be restored upon returning to room temperature. When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function

(wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution), refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the touchscreen display. 77 When Traveling Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data. Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the waterproof integrity. Do not leave objects in between the keyboard and closed display. Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger. Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage. If you need to leave the computer in the car, put it in the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat. When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the computer and flash disks through the X-ray machine (the device you set your bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the magnetic wand (the handheld device used by security personnel). If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination. 78 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or both. When you encounter any problem, it might be a typical problem that can easily be solved. This chapter tells you what actions to take when solving common computer problems. 79 Preliminary Checklist Here are helpful hints to follow before you take further actions when you encounter any problem:

Try to isolate which part of the computer is causing the problem. Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before turning on the computer. If an external device has a problem, make sure that the cable connections are correct and secure. Make sure that the configuration information is properly set in the BIOS Setup program. Make sure that all the device drivers are correctly installed. Make notes of your observations. Are there any messages on the screen? Do any indicators light? Do you hear any beeps? Detailed descriptions are useful to the service personnel when you need to consult one for assistance. If any problem persists after you follow the instructions in this chapter, contact an authorized dealer for help. 80 Solving Common Problems Battery Problems The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light amber). Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature. If the battery doesn't charge after it has been stored in very low temperatures, try disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the problem. Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean. The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter. If you often partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be charged to its full potential. Initialize the battery to solve the problem. The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the actual operating time. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer. If the actual operating time is much less than the estimated time, initialize the battery. BT Problems I cannot connect to another device with BT wireless technology. Make sure that both devices have activated BT feature. Make sure that the distance between the two devices is within the limit and that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices. Make sure that the other device is not in Hidden mode. 81 Make sure that both devices are compatible. Display Problems Nothing appears on the screen. During operation, the screen may automatically turn off as a result of power management. Press any key to see if the screen comes back. The brightness level might be too low. Increase the brightness. The display output might be set to an external device. To switch the display back to the LCD, press the Fn+F5 hot key or change the display through the Display Settings Properties. The characters on the screen are dim. Adjust the brightness and/or contrast. The display brightness cannot be increased. As a protection, the display brightness will be fixed at a low level when the surrounding temperature is too high or too low. It is not a malfunction in this situation. Bad dots appear on the display at all times. A small number of missing, discolored, or bright dots on the screen are an intrinsic characteristic of TFT LCD technology. It is not regarded as a LCD defect. Clouding (or called mura) happens on the screen when you exert forces on the left or right side of the LCD frame. This is a normal phenomenon, not a defect. Hardware Device Problems The computer does not recognize a newly installed device. The device may not be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program. Run the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type. 82 Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) Make sure if the device needs any jumper or switch settings. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) Check the cables or power cords for correct connections. For an external device that has its own power switch, make sure that the power is turned on. Keyboard and Touchpad Problems The keyboard does not respond. Try connecting an external keyboard. If it works, contact an authorized dealer, as the internal keyboard cable might be loose. Water or liquid is spilt into the keyboard. Immediately turn off the computer and unplug the AC adapter. Then turn the keyboard upside down to drain the liquid out of the keyboard. Make sure to clean up any part of the spill you can get to. Though the keyboard of your computer is spill-proof, liquid will remain in the keyboard enclosure if you dont remove it. Wait for the keyboard to air dry before using the computer again. The touchpad does not work, or the pointer is difficult to control with the touchpad. Make sure that the touchpad is clean. LAN Problems I cannot access the network. Make sure that the LAN cable is properly connected to the RJ-45 connector and the network hub. Make sure that the network configuration is appropriate. Make sure that the user name or password is correct. 83 Power Management Problems The computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode automatically. If you have a connection to another computer, the computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode if the connection is actively in use. Make sure that the Sleep or Hibernation time-out is enabled. The computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode immediately. If the computer is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to finish.

Please reference ENERGY STAR related information from http://www.energystar.gov. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. An ENERGY STAR qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than computers without enabled power management features. Earning the ENERGY STAR When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air. If left inactive, ENERGY STAR qualified computers enter a low-power mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years ago. Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer. 108 Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance. Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment in a single home office

(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years. Power management (sleep settings) on computers and monitors can result in much savings annually. Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower consumers utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Getac Product Compliance All Getac products with ENERGY STAR logo comply with the ENERGY STAR standard, and the power management feature is enabled by default. As recommended by the ENERGY STAR program for optimal energy savings, the computer is automatically set to sleep after 15 minutes (in battery mode) and 30 minutes (in AC mode) of user inactivity.
