If the model you purchased is compliant, it uses the ENERGY STAR logo and the following information applies. Dynabook is a partner in the ENERGY STAR program and has designed this computer to meet the latest ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer ships with the power management options preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes. To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-
power Sleep Mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC power mode. Dynabook recommends that you leave this and other energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power button. Your ENERGY STAR certified computer should be set by default to enter a low-power "sleep mode" after a period of inactivity. Simply touching the mouse or keyboard "wakes"
the computer in seconds. These sleep features can save you up to $23 per year (200 kWh per year in electricity) and prevent up to 300 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually. To learn how to adjust or activate these sleep settings on your computer, please go to:
www.energystar.gov/sleepinstructions To activate sleep settings organization-wide quickly and easily through network tools, please go to:
www.energystar.gov/powermanagement Disposing of the computer and the computer's battery The computer's battery pack is not user-accessible. Contact an authorized service provider for details regarding how to dispose of the computer and the battery pack. Dynabook is strongly committed to reducing electronic waste. For the efficient use of resources and appropriate treatment of hazardous substances, local, state and federal regulations must be adhered to when recycling your electronic device.

Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as they might result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the fingerprint recognition success rate:
Soaked or swollen finger, for example as might occur after taking a bath Injured finger Wet finger Soiled or oily finger Extremely dry skin condition on finger Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate:
Enroll two or more fingers. Enroll additional fingers if a recognition failure often occurs when using already enrolled fingers. Check the condition of your finger. Any conditions which have changed since enrollment, such as injury, rough skin, and extremely dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily, soaked or swollen fingers, might lower the recognition success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate might be lowered. As the fingerprint for each finger is different and unique, you should ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints are used for identification. The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there might be instances where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints. The recognition success rate might differ from user to user. Battery This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling. Battery pack When the AC adaptor is not connected, the main power source of the computer is a lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the main battery. User's Manual 4-6 Real-Time Clock (RTC) function The Real-Time Clock (RTC) function is supported.

Never expose a battery to excess heat, extremely low temperatures or extremely low air pressure at high altitude during use, storage or transportation as that may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Do not mechanically crush or cut the battery as that may result in an explosion. Always dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Charging the battery When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes, the computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turns itself off. You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged. Procedures To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack/
USB Type-C port and plug the other end into a working outlet. The DC IN/Battery indicator glows amber while the battery is being charged. User's Manual 4-7 Charging notice The battery might not begin charging immediately under the following conditions:
The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full capacity, charge it at room temperature of between 5C to 35C (41F to 95F). The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance, leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin charging. The DC IN/Battery indicator might show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following conditions:
The battery has not been used for a long time. The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for a long time. In such cases, do the following:
1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power on until the system automatically turns itself off. 2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack/USB Type-C port on the computer and to a wall outlet that is supplying power. 3. Charge the battery until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows white. Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal capacity. Monitoring battery capacity Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods:
Clicking the battery icon on the Windows Taskbar Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window Wait several seconds to monitor the remaining operating time because the computer needs time to check the remaining capacity of the battery pack and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this together with the current power consumption. Be aware that the actual remaining operating time might differ slightly from the calculated time. With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery capacity will gradually decrease. In view of this, it is noted that an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged. User's Manual 4-8 Maximizing battery operating time The usefulness of a battery depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:
Processor speed Screen brightness Internal storage drive power off period How often and for how long you use the internal storage drive and external disk drives, for example, optical disc How much charge the battery contained to begin with How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the battery supplies power Where you store your programs and data Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the keyboard - closing the display saves power. The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low temperatures. System Sleep Mode System Hibernation Mode Display power off period Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on. Extending battery life To maximize the life of your battery pack, do the following at least once a month:
Turn off the computer's power. 1. 2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power. If it does not turn on, then go to Step 4. 3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time, continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged. However, if the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4. 4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack/USB Type-C port on the computer and to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN/
Battery indicator glows amber to indicate that the battery pack is being charged. However, if DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow, this indicates that power is not being supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor and the power cord. 5. Charge the battery pack until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows white.

In this instance, all unsaved data in memory will be lost. User's Manual 5-5 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Dynabook has designed this computer for durability, however, should problems occur, you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter to help determine the cause. You should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place. Problem-solving process If you observe the following guidelines, resolving problems will be much easier. Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking further action might result in data loss or damage, or you might destroy valuable problem-related information that can help solve the problem. Observe what is happening. Write down what the system is doing and what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred. Make a screenshot of the current display. Also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this chapter are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem-solving techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few might require help from Technical Support. If you find you need to consult others, be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible. Preliminary checklist You should always consider the simplest solution first. The items detailed in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a serious problem:
Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the computer - this includes your printer and any other external device you are using. Before you attach an external device, you should first turn off the computer, then when you turn the computer back on, it recognizes the new device. Make sure that all optional accessories are configured properly in the computer's setup program and that all required driver software has been loaded (refer to the documentation included with the optional accessories for further information on its installation and configuration). User's Manual 6-1 Check all cables to ensure that they are correctly and firmly attached to the computer - loose cables can cause signal errors. Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for loose pins. Check that your disc media is correctly loaded. Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log - this helps you to describe your problems to Technical Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made helps to identify the problem faster. Analyzing the problem Sometimes the computer gives you clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. In view of this, keep the following questions in mind:
Which part of the computer is not operating properly - keyboard, SSD, display panel, Touch Pad, Touch Pad control buttons - as each device produces different symptoms. Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its configuration is set properly. What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or random characters? Make a screenshot of the current display and, if possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the computer, software, or operating system. Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals. Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do they stay on or blink? Write down what you see. Do you hear any beeps, if so, how many, are they long or short and are they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear. Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to Technical Support. Software The problems might be caused by your software or disk. If you cannot load a software package, the media might be damaged or the program might be corrupted. In these instances, try loading another copy of the software if possible. If an error message appears while you are using a software package, you should refer to the documentation supplied with it as this usually includes a problem-solving section or a summary of error messages. Next, check any error messages against the operating system documentation. User's Manual 6-2 Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, you should then check the setup and configuration of your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist as described previously, then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals. Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an authorized part or product, make sure that the device or software can be used with your computer.

Logo certification with Bluetooth wireless technology as defined by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. This Bluetooth product is not compatible with devices using Bluetooth Version 1.0B specifications. The wireless devices have not completed verification of connection and operation with all devices which are using the Wireless LAN or Bluetooth radio technology. Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and might interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you might occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection. If you experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth or Wireless LAN. Wireless devices and your health Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by wireless products however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Because wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Dynabook believes wireless products are safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or environments, the use of wireless products might be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations might for example include:
Using the wireless products equipment on board of airplanes, or In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (for example, airports), you are User's Manual 7-4 encouraged to ask for authorization to use the wireless device prior to turning on the equipment. Wireless LAN Technology The wireless communication function of the computer supports some wireless communication devices. Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation. Turn off all wireless functionalities when near a person who might have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio waves might affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your medical device when using any wireless functionality. Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment, possibly resulting in serious injury. It might not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network (*) has to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.
* Make sure to use new network name. Security Dynabook strongly recommends that you enable encryption functionality, otherwise your computer is open to illegal access by an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider might illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of stored data. Dynabook is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
