About this Concise User Guide
This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is a supplement, and not a substitute for the
expanded English language User’s Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual
disc supplied with your computer. This disc also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation of
the computer (Note: The company reserves the right to revise this publication or to change its contents without notice).
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual disc does not contain an operating system.
Regulatory and Safety Information
Please pay careful attention to the full regulatory notices and safety information contained in the expanded User’s Man-
ual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.

English
Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To pre-
vent this, follow these suggestions:
•Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the
case and the components could be damaged.
•Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power
supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an electri-
cal appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer
could be badly damaged.
•Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity
transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields.
These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
•Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut
the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your work.
Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may
violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to
electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service person-
nel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Then refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the oper-
ating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the
poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your com-
puter.
Safety Information
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do
not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that
appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the
computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it
may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before
putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from
any external power supplies, peripherals and cables (including
telephone lines). It is advisable to also remove your battery in
order to prevent accidentally turning the machine on.
• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply
cleaner directly to the computer. Do not use volatile (petroleum
distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or
replacement to your service representative or qualified service per-
sonnel.
• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-plated
logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general
wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time and the
exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling
the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD elec-
tro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other items in the carrying bag
which may rub against the top of the computer during transport. If
any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.

Polymer Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is specific to polymer
batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general
battery precaution information.
• Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling,
however this is part of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not a
cause for concern.
• Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries. Do
not use polymer batteries in high ambient temperature environ-
ments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.

Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable
battery. 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 recy-
cling options or proper disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions.

Driver Installation
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities
necessary for the proper operation of the computer. This setup will probably have al-
ready been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click Install Drivers
(button), or Option Drivers (button) to access the Optional driver menu. Install the
drivers in the order indicated in Figure 11. Click to select the drivers you wish to in-
stall (you should note down the drivers as you install them). Note: If you need to re-
install any driver, you should uninstall the driver first.
Manual Driver Installation
Click the Browse CD/DVD button in the Drivers Installer application and browse to
the executable file in the appropriate driver folder.
If a
Found New Hardware wizard appears during the installation procedure, click
Cancel, and follow the installation procedure as directed.
Figure 11 - Install Drivers

Driver Installation General
Guidelines
As a general guide follow the
default on-screen instructions
for each driver (e.g. Next >
Next >Finish) unless you
are an advanced user. In
many cases a restart is re-
quired to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g.
PC Camera, WLAN or 3.75G/
HSPA) are ON before install-
ing the appropriate driver.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers
make sure you enable Win-
dows Update in order to get
all the latest security updates
etc. (all updates will include
the latest hotfixes from Mi-
crosoft).

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The Wireless LAN/
Bluetooth/3.75G/HSPA
modules cannot be detected.
The modules are off. Check the LED indicator and/or function key indicator to see if the WLAN/
Bluetooth/3.75G/HSPA module is on or off (see Table 2 on page 8 and Table 6 on page 11). If the
LED indicator is off, then press the Fn + F11 (WLAN), Fn + F12 (Bluetooth) or Fn + (3.75G/
HSPA) in order to enable the modules (see Table 6 on page 11).
The Bluetooth module is off
after resuming from Sleep.
The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the Sleep power-saving state.
Use the key combination (Fn + F12) to power on the Bluetooth module after the computer resumes
from Sleep.
A file cannot be copied to/from
a connected Bluetooth
device.
Transferring data between the computer and a Bluetooth enabled device is supported in one
direction only (simultaneous data transfer is not supported). If you are copying a file from your
computer to a Bluetooth enabled device, you will not be able to copy a file from the Bluetooth
enabled device to your computer until the file transfer process from the computer has been
completed.
The captured video files from
the PC Camera are taking up
too much disk space.
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space for each
file.
Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of 15GB of free space on the C: drive system
partition. It is recommended that you save the capture video file to a location other than the C:drive,
limit the file size of the captured video or reduce video resolution (Options >Video Capture Pin... >
Output Size).
