Chapter 1
Regulatory Information
This Chapter provides regulatory statements and safety notices on your DCU 220.
NOTE: Marking labels located on the exterior of your DCU 220 indicate the regulations that
your model complies with. Please check the marking labels and refer to the corresponding
statements in this appendix. Some notices apply to specific models only.
Safety instructions
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use DCU 220 where the recommended temperature is
between 0 °C (32 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F). (Actual operating temperature depends on
product specifications.)
Avoid placing DCU 220 in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures,
mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using DCU 220 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 DCU 220 on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand DCU 220 on its side or store
it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping or hitting may damage
DCU 220.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on DCU 220. For example, do not place
DCU 220 on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may
occur that results in damage to DCU 220.
As DCU 220 can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects that are
vulnerable to heat.
Keep DCU 220 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 DCU 220 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 expose your skin to DCU 220 when operating it in a very hot or cold
environment.
Do not place heavy objects on top of DCU 220 when it is closed as this may damage the
display.
Do not move DCU 220 simply by grasping the display screen.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the display but
use the included soft cloth.
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.
About lithium batteries
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
About the AC adapter
Use only the AC adapter supplied with your DCU 220. Use of another type of AC
adapter will result in malfunction and/or danger.
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.

Chapter 3
Operating DCU 220
This chapter provides information about the use of DCU 220.
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 DCU 220.
CAUTION:
Do not expose your skin to DCU 220 when operating it in a very hot or cold
environment.
DCU 220 can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high temperatures. As a
safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not place DCU 220 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.
Using the 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.

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 DCU 220. If so, use the
numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead.
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.
