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’sManual
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.

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 exposeit 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 electrical appliance. If
water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly dam-
aged.
•Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity trans-
formers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields. These can hin-
der proper performance and damage your data.
•Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the com-
puter 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 operating
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 computer.
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 dis-
pose 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 exter-
nal power supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone lines). It is
advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally turn-
ing 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 abra-
sive cleaners on any part of the computer.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replace-
ment to your service representative or qualified service personnel.
• 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 electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any otheritems
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 environments, 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, un-
der various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your lo-
cal solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling op-
tions 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 nec-
essary for the proper operation of the computer. This setup will probably have already
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 8. Click to select the drivers you wish to install (you should note
down the drivers as you install them). Note: If you need to reinstall 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.

Driver Installation
General Guidelines
As a general guide follow
the default on-screen in-
structions for each driver
(e.g. Next >Next >Fin-
ish) 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 3G) are ON before in-
stalling the appropriate
driver.
Windows Update
Afterinstallingall the driv-
ers make sure you en-
able Windows Update in
order to get all the latest
security updates etc. (all
updates will include the
latest hotfixes from Mi-
crosoft).

Driver Installation & Power
When installing drivers make sure your
computer is powered by the AC/DC
adapter connected to a working power
source. Some drivers draw a significant
amount of power during the installation
procedure, and if the remaining battery
capacity is not adequate this may cause
the system to shut down and cause sys-
tem problems (note that there is no safety
issue involved here, and the battery will
be rechargeable within 1 minute).

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The Wireless LAN/
Bluetooth/3G modules
cannot be detected.
The modules are off. Check the LED indicator and/or function key indicator to see if the WLAN/
Bluetooth/3G module is on or off (see Table 1 on page 6 and Table 2 on page 7). If the LED
indicator is off, then press the Fn + F11 (WLAN), Fn + F12 (Bluetooth) or Fn + (3G) in order to
enable the modules (see Table 2 on page 7).
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).
