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. 33 AC Adapter CAUTION:

The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC. 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 Tablet PC 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 V 240 V AC. 34 35 Battery Pack Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. CAUTION: Always keep both battery packs installed, especially when the Tablet PC is running on battery power. A battery pack can be removed only when it is not being charged/discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack. 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 batterys 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, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator (

) on the Tablet PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. 36 The two battery packs are charged in parallel. The charging time is approximately 5 hours (for the standard battery packs) and 6 hours (for the high-

capacity battery packs) when the power is off. CAUTION: After the Tablet PC 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. The G-Manager program provides a tool called Battery Recalibration for the purpose. (See ! in Chapter 6.) 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 Tablet PC. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. The two battery packs are discharged in parallel. 37 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, tap 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. Push-button When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC 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. 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 increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. 38 Battery Icon Battery Level Description Low The battery charge has reached the low-

battery level. Critically The battery charge has reached the critical low battery level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your Tablet PC into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the Tablet PCs Battery Indicator (

) also blinks red to alert you to take actions. Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your Tablet PC in Hibernation mode, or turning off the Tablet PC. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:

There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturers battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealers instructions. 39 Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. A battery pack can get hot due to long working hours. Do not touch a hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing a battery pack, put it in a well-ventilated area. NOTE:

You can hot swap one battery pack while the other one is supplying the power. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between

-21C (-5.8 F) and 45 C (113 F). If you have the high-capacity battery model, the battery pack looks different from the one shown here. The removal/installation method is the same. To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:

1. Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack. Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. After turning off the Tablet PC, allow a cool-down time of at least 5 minutes before removing the battery pack. 2. Locate the battery pack you want to remove. 3. Slide the battery latch toward the right () and then upwards () to release the battery pack. 4. Remove the battery pack from its compartment. 40 5. Fit another battery pack into place. With the battery pack correctly oriented, attach its connector side to the battery compartment at an angle () and then press down the other side (). 6. Slide the battery latch toward the locked position (

). CAUTION: Make sure the battery latch is correctly locked, not revealing the underneath red part. Correct Incorrect (revealing red part) 41 42 Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your Tablet PCs power saving mode, you can do your part to maximize the batterys operating time by following these suggestions. Do not disable Power Management. Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level. Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display. When not using a connected device, disconnect it. Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or WWAN). Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it. 43 Appendix A Specifications NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without any prior notice. CPU Parts Specifications 13th Gen platform

The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal. About the AC Adapter Use only the AC adapter supplied with your computer. Use of another type of AC adapter will result in malfunction and/or danger. If a ground/earth pin attachment plug on the AC power cord is provided, always plug the cord into a grounded/earthed outlet. Do not disable ground/earth pin of the plug/cord. Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment. Never touch the adapter when your hands or feet are wet. Allow adequate ventilation around the adapter when using it to operate the device or charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with paper or other objects that will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. Connect the adapter to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found on the product case and/or packaging. Do not use the adapter if the cord becomes damaged. Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture. 52 Heat Related Concerns Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-related concerns, follow these guidelines:

Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with your device or its AC adapter when its operating or connected to a power source. For example, dont sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface. Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during normal use. 53 North America USA Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement NOTE:

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. 24 AC Adapter CAUTION:

The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC. 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 Tablet PC 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 V 240 V AC. 25 Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. 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, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator (

indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.

) on the Tablet PC glows amber to The charging time is approximately 3 hours (for the standard battery pack) and 5.5 hours (for the high-capacity battery pack) when the power is off. CAUTION: After the Tablet PC 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 26 is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. The G-Manager program provides a tool called Battery Recalibration for the purpose. 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 Tablet PC. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. 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. Push-button When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC 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. 27 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 increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. Low The battery charge has reached the low-battery level. Critically low The battery charge has reached the critical battery level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your Tablet PC into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the Tablet PCs Battery Indicator (

to alert you to take actions.

) also blinks red Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your Tablet PC in Hibernation mode, or turning off the Tablet PC. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:

There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturers battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealers instructions. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. A battery pack can get hot due to long working hours. Do not touch a hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing a battery pack, put it in a well-

ventilated area. NOTE:

28 You can hot swap the battery pack if your model has the bridge battery. If you have the high-capacity battery model, the battery pack looks different from the one shown here. The removal and installation method is the same. 1. Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack. (See Hot Swapping the Battery Pack (Optional) for more information.) Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. After turning off the Tablet PC, allow a cool-down time of at least 5 minutes before removing the battery pack. 2. Slide the security lock of the battery release latch to the unlocked position

(). Slide the battery release latch upwards (). The battery pack will slightly pop up. Remove the battery pack from its compartment (). 3. Fit another battery pack into place. With the battery pack correctly oriented, attach its connector side to the battery compartment at an angle () and then press down the other side (). The battery release latch should automatically engage. Battery release latch 29 4. Slide the security lock to the locked position (

). Locked Unlocked CAUTION: Make sure the lock is correctly locked, not revealing the underneath red part. Hot Swapping the Battery Pack (Optional) You can hot swap the battery pack if your model has the bridge battery. Hot swapping means you can safely replace the battery pack without shutting down while your Tablet PC is running on battery power. Hints and Reminders See Replacing the Battery Pack for replacement instructions and note the following hints and reminders on hot swapping:

Make sure the battery pack to be installed is charged. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between -15C (-5 F) and 45 C (113 F). Check the Battery Hot Swapping Indicator after removing the battery pack. Hot swap the battery pack only when the indicator lights in green. A red light 30 means there is not enough extra power for you to safely hot swap the battery pack. Battery Hot Swapping Indicator Once a battery pack is removed, the display brightness level will be fixed at a low level and cannot be adjusted. If a charged battery pack is not inserted within 2 minutes, the Tablet PC enters Hibernation mode. After removing the battery pack, do not connect and immediately disconnect the AC adapter. This will shut down the Tablet PC. About the Bridge Battery For models having the bridge battery:

The bridge battery is not user-replaceable and is invisible to the operating system. It never functions as the power source as long as the battery pack is installed. The bridge battery is charged by external AC power if the AC adapter is connected. If the Battery Hot Swapping Indicator blinks in amber, it means the bridge battery charging is in an abnormal state. Replace the bridge battery in case this happens. 31 32 Appendix A Specifications NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without any prior notice. Parts CPU Specifications Alder Lake U Platform

Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-related concerns, follow these guidelines:

Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with your device or its AC adapter when its operating or connected to a power source. For example, dont sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface. Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during normal use. 39 North America USA Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement NOTE:

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. When the computer is placed flat on a table top for work, the back surface can get hot after long working hours. Take precautions if you need to carry the computer around while it is hot to the touch. Depending on your model, a carrying handle or strap may be available as an option. You can use the handle or strap to carry the computer. 21 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. 22 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.) 23 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. Increases the sound volume. 24 Key Description Switches the display output to the next choice if an external display is connected. Choices are:

LCD only LCD + External display (Duplicate) LCD + External display (Extend) External display only The hot keys are equivalent to Windows logo key + P. Decreases the LCD brightness. Increases the LCD brightness. Switches the touchscreen on or off. Switches the touchpad off or on. Switches the system sound output off (mute) or on. Switches the display on or off. Serves as the sleep button that you can define with Windows Power Options. Windows Keys The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions:

Application key. Windows Logo key and Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs software-

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:

Term Point Action Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the selection on the screen. 26 Term Click Double-click Drag and drop Action 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. 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 two-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, rotating, and others. For settings information, go to ETD Properties Options. 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. To configure the touchpad, go to Settings Devices Mouse & touchpad. 27 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:

In high temperatures (above 60 oC / 140 F), set the mode to Touch instead of Glove or Pen mode. 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. The following table shows how you use the touchscreen to obtain equivalent mouse functions. 28 Term/Action Tap: Touch the screen once. Double-tap: Touch the screen twice rapidly. Equivalent Mouse Function Click/Point Double-click Tap and hold: Tap and hold until a popup menu appears. Right-click Drag: Hold the stylus (or finger) on the screen and drag across the screen until reaching your destination. Drag Using Multi-touch Gestures You can interact with your computer by placing two fingers on the screen. The movement of the fingers across the screen creates gestures, which send commands to the computer. Here are the multi-touch gestures that you can use:

Actions

( = finger down; = finger up) or Drag 1 or 2 fingers up or down. Gestures Pan

(Scroll) Zoom

(Pinch) Move two fingers apart/toward each other. Descriptions Use panning to see another part of a page that has scroll bars. Use zooming to make an item (a photo for example) on the screen larger or smaller. The gesture works in applications that support mouse wheel zooming. 29 Gestures Rotate Press and Tap Two-

finger Tap Flicks Actions

( = finger down; = finger up) Descriptions Use rotating to move a picture or other item on the screen in a circular direction (clockwise or counter-

clockwise). The gesture works in applications that support the specific gesture. Use press and tap to access the shortcut menu. The function is defined by applications that support the specific gesture. Flick left or right to navigate back and forward in a browser and other applications. The gesture works in most applications that support back and forward. or Move two fingers in opposing directions.

-or-

Use one finger to pivot around another. Press on target and tap using a second finger. Tap two fingers at the same time

(where the target is in the midpoint between the fingers). Make quick drag gestures in the desired direction. 30 Using the Dual Mode Display (Optional) Dual mode display (if your model has the feature) incorporates both touchscreen and digitizer functions. The display is set to Touchscreen mode by default. Touchscreen mode provides all the functionalities that an ordinary touchscreen has. When the Computer receives signals from the digitizer pen, the display automatically switches to Digitizer mode. You can move the cursor by bringing the digitizer pen close to the screen, without actually touching the screens surface. The digitizer pen has a shortcut button that functions as the right-click of a mouse. Right-click 31 Using Network and Wireless Connections Using the LAN To connect the network cable to the LAN module, connect one end of the LAN cable to the RJ45 connector on the computer and the other end to the network hub.

Upon a successful scan, the system beeps and the decoded barcode data is entered. 38 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Managing Power Your computer operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. 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. 39 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 VAC. 40 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. CAUTION: Always keep both battery packs installed, especially when the computer is running on battery power. A battery pack can be removed only when it is not being charged/discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack. 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, even when the battery pack is fully charged. 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 (

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.

) on the computer glows amber 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). 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. 41 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. The G-Manager program provides a tool called Battery Recalibration for the purpose. (See G-Camera in Chapter 6.) 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. Push-button 42 Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery.

This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling. 70 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. 71 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. Do not move the computer simply by grasping the display screen. To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object. 72 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:

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. 73 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. 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. 74 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. In low and high temperatures (below 5 oC / 41 F and above 60 oC / 140 F), the touchscreen may have a slower response time or register the touch in the wrong location. It will go back to normal after 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. 75 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. 76 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. 77 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. 78 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 doesnt 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. Make sure that both devices are compatible. 79 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. Fingerprint Scanner Problems The following message appears during the fingerprint enrollment process Your device is having trouble recognizing you. Make sure your sensor is clean. When enrolling a fingerprint, make sure you move your finger slightly between each reading. Not moving or moving too much can both result in fingerprint reading failures. 80 The following message appears during the fingerprint login process Couldnt recognize that fingerprint. Make sure youve set up your fingerprint in Windows Hello. When placing your finger on the scanner, make sure your finger aims at the center of the scanner surface and covers as much area as possible. If a fingerprint login frequently fails, try enrolling again. 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. Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (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. 81 LAN Problems I cannot access the network. Make sure that the LAN cable is properly connected to the RJ45 connector and the network hub. Make sure that the network configuration is appropriate.

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. The computer does not resume from Sleep or Hibernation mode. The computer automatically enters Sleep or Hibernation mode when the battery pack is empty. Do any one of the following:

Connect the AC adapter to the computer. Replace the empty battery pack with a fully charged one. Sensor Problems The built-in digital compass doesnt seem to be accurate. Rotating the display can affect the accuracy of the digital compass. This is normal, not a malfunction. The sensors for the compass require periodic recalibration. Follow this method to recalibrate the sensors:

1. Make sure you are far away from any large metal objects or magnetic fields. 2. Start an application that utilizes the digital compass. 3. Hold the computer level with the horizon, with the LCD side facing up. 4. Rotate the computer 360 at least three times around each axis (X, Y, and Z) as shown below. 82 Software Problems An application program does not work correctly. Make sure that the software is correctly installed. If an error message appears on the screen, consult the software programs documentation for further information. If you are sure the operation has stop, reset the computer. Sound Problems No sound is produced. Make sure that the volume control is not set too low. Increase the volume. Make sure that the sound is not muted. Make sure that the computer is not in Sleep mode. 83 If using an external speaker, make sure that the speaker is properly connected. Distorted sound is produced. Make sure that the volume control is not set too high or too low. In most cases, a high setting can cause the audio electronics to distort the sound. Startup Problems When you turn on the computer, it does not respond and the Power Indicator does not light green. If you are using an external AC power, make sure that the AC adapter is correctly and securely connected. If so, make sure that the electrical outlet works properly. If you are using the battery power, make sure that the battery is not discharged. When the ambient temperature is below -20 C (-4 F), the computer will start up only if both battery packs are installed. When you turn on the computer, it stops after POST. Reset your computer. WLAN Problems I cannot use the WLAN feature. Make sure that the WLAN feature is turned on. Transmission quality is poor. Your computer may be in an out-of-range situation. Move your computer closer to the Access Point or another WLAN device it is associated with. Check if there is high interference around the environment and solve the problem as described next. Radio interference exists. Move your computer away from the device causing the radio interference such as microwave oven and large metal objects. 84 Plug your computer into an outlet on a different branch circuit from that used by the affecting device. Consult your dealer or an experienced radio technician for help. I cannot connect to another WLAN device. Make sure that the WLAN feature is turned on. Make sure that the SSID setting is the same for every WLAN device in the network. Your computer is not recognizing changes. Restart the computer. Make sure that the IP address or subnet mask setting is correct. I cannot communicate with the computer in the network when Infrastructure mode is configured. Make sure that the Access Point your computer is associated with is powered on and all the LEDs are working properly.

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. Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance. 107 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. To wake up the computer, press the power button. If you want to configure power management settings such as inactivity time and ways to initiate/end Sleep mode, go to Power Options by right-clicking the battery icon on the Windows taskbar and then selecting Power Options in the pop-up menu. Please visit http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement for detail information on power management and its benefits to the environment. 108 Battery Recycling For the U.S. and Canada only:
