Chapter 1 Operating Basics
This chapter will show you how to operate your W466 / W566
notebook computer, including connecting the AC adaptor, turning
the computer on/off, using touch-pad, keyboard, hot keys, battery,
and so on. If you are new to computers and to the operating

1.1 Using the Battery Pack
W466 / W566 notebook computer is designed to operate with one
of the following power sources:
• AC power
(using the AC adapter connected to an electrical outlet)
• Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack
You should use the AC adapter whenever possible; use the battery
pack only when AC power is unavailable. The rechargeable Li-
Ion battery pack allows you to operate your notebook computer
without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter
to connect your notebook to a power outlet, the internal battery will
begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge
icon on the indicator panel will be on. Once the battery is fully
charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off. Quick charging time
is 2.5 hours for the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery when the computer
is turned off, while the normal battery charging time is 3.5 hours.
• Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment can increase
the use of your computer’s power.
• Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power.
• When the battery is not fully charged, allow your battery to be
charged completely before using it (i.e., before disconnecting AC
power). Calibrating the battery before use is also highly recom-
mended.
• Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable, do not charge it with other power adap-
ter, otherwise fire or explosion may occur.
►Replacing the Battery◄
The battery will gradually weaken over time. We recommend that
you replace your battery when you notice a signicant decrease of
battery capacity.
To change the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the lid and ip the computer over.
3. Slide the side battery latch (1) to the left. Continue to hold it
until the battery is removed.
4. Make sure the replacement battery is properly oriented before
inserting it into the battery compartment.
Note: The battery can not be charged to 100% when remaining
battery is no less than 95%. It is based on the supplier’s advice,
and to extend charging frequency and battery life.
►Maintenance of the AC Adapter◄
• Do not connect the adapter to any other device.
•
Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Ca-
refully route the power cord and keep cables away from all traffic.
• When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but
on the plug instead.
• If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the devices
plugged onto the cord do not exceed its total capacity. Furthermo-
re, the devices plugged into the electrical outlet shall not exceed
the fuse’s total ampere rating.
• Please verify power voltage before connecting the electrical cord
to the power outlet. If you are uncertain of its power specification,
please consult with your local vendors or power company for more
details.

1.2 Connecting the AC Adapter
The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the
voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any
voltage from 100 to 240 volts and outputs power at 19V, 4.74A for
W566N (19V, 3.42A for W466U / W566U), allowing you to use your
notebook computer in almost any region.
CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter and the power cord we
recommend. Using the wrong adapter may damage your computer.
We assume no responsibilities for damages arising from misuse of
AC adapters.
To properly connect the adapter, follow the steps as below:
1. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the DC power port of your computer.
3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to an AC outlet.
1.3 Turning Your Notebook On and Off
►Turning on the power◄
Open the notebook lid, press and hold the power button for one or
two seconds. The power indicator will glow blue once the computer
is powered on.
►Turning off the power◄
If you are not going to use your notebook computer for a while,
it is best to turn off its power. Before turning off power, close all
programs rst and shut down the operating system.
After turning off your notebook computer, make it a habit to leave
the LCD panel open for a while after it has been used for an
extended period of time. This allows the interior of your notebook
computer to cool off. Closing the panel will force the heat up
against the LCD screen, and doing so after a while may damage
the screen. More importantly, never close the LCD panel for a long
period of time when the computer is on or when the power saving
function is disabled.
►Suspend mode◄
You can adjust default power management settings in the Power
Option/Advanced dialog box. The Power Options dialog box
provides several operating functions after your computer has been
idle for a while.
