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 CD-ROM supplied with your computer. This CD-ROM also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for
the proper operation of the computer.
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 CD-ROM does not contain an operating system.
Regulatory Information

English
Instructions for Care and Operation
The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. 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 damaged.
3. 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.
4. 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 if the battery is depleted.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

4 - Instructions for Care and Operation

Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.

Mainboard Battery Note
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Power Safety Warning
Before you undertake any upgrade procedures, make sure that you have turned off the power, and disconnected
all peripherals and cables (including telephone lines).

Instructions for Care and Operation - 5

Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth. Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or
abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the com-
puter to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power sup-
ply. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to rain or other 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.

Concise User’s Guide
English
Quick Start Guide
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell at a glance what and where all the key
components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,
which give an overview of the system.
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the AC Power-In port on the right of the computer. Then plug the AC power cord into an outlet.
4. Push the power button to turn the computer “on”.
Not Included
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet
and database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the ap-
propriate manuals.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-
configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP (Pro-
fessional & Home Edition) operating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in
Chapter 3 of the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.

the other gripping the base) to
avoid accidentally dropping it.
Port Warning
The computer can only accept one
keyboard at a time. Don’t try to in-
stall a USB and a PS/2 keyboard at
the same time. Doing so may
cause resource conflicts and make
the system unstable.
