Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
Booktop.
When Using Your Booktop M1022 Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an
extended period of time with the base resting directly on
your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the
base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin can cause
discomfort or a burn.
• Do not attempt to service the Booktop yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the
battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can generate
extremely high temperature and may cause burns to your skin.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and
that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped
on.
• While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the
AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor.
Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that may
prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside
a carrying case.
• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your Booktop computer.
Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or
electrical shock.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your
Booktop manufacturer. Using other types of battery or AC adapter
may heighten the risk of fire or explosion.
• Incorrectly placed batteries may result in an explosion.
• Replace only with the same or compatible battery recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Please discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Before you connect your Booktop to a power source, ensure that
the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available
power source.
- 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea.
- 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.
- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
• If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord
does not exceed its total capacity.
• When removing battery from your Booktop, first turn off the system,
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then
remove the battery.
• To avoid risk of an electrical shock, do not connect or disconnect
any cables, or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this
product during a thunderstorm.
• Do not throw batteries into fire, doing so may cause explosion.
Check with local authorities first for battery disposal instructions.
• When setting up your Booktop for work, place it on a level surface.

• When traveling, do not check your Booktop as baggage. You can
put your Booktop through an X-ray security machine, but never put
your Booktop through a metal detector. If you have your Booktop
checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery ready in case
you are asked to turn on your Booktop.
• When traveling with the hard drive removed from your Booktop,
wrap the drive in an insulated material, such as cloth or paper. If
you have the drive checked by hand, you may be asked to install
the drive into your Booktop. Your can have the hard drive checked
through an X-ray machine, but never put the drive through a metal
detector.
• When traveling, do not place your Booktop in the overhead storage
compartment where it could shift around. Do not drop your Booktop
or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
• Protect your Booktop, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, extreme temperature, and
direct exposure to sunlight.
• When you move your Booktop in environments where there is a
substantial difference of temperature or humidity level, condensa-
tion may form on or within your Booktop. To avoid damaging your
Booktop, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate
before continue using.
NOTICE: When taking your Booktop from a colder to a warmer environ-
ment or vice versa, allow your Booktop enough time to adapt to the new
environment before turning on power.
• When unplugging the power cord, please make sure that you pull
on its connector or on its strain relief loop, and not on the power
cord itself. As you pull out the connector, please ensure that it is
pulled out evenly in order not to bend its connecting pins. Also, be-
fore you connect the power cord, make sure that both connectors
are correctly oriented and aligned.
• Before you clean your Booktop, turn it off first, unplug it from its
power source, and remove the battery.
• Handle interior components with care. When removing a compo-
nent, please hold it by the edge and not on the connecting pins
(such as the memory module).
When using your telephone equipments, safety instructions
should always be followed in order to prevent re, electrical
shock or injuries, these instructions include:
• Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
washing basins, kitchen/laundry sinks, wet basements or swim-
ming pools.
• Avoid using cordless phones during an electrical storm as light-
ening may cause electrical shocks.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak within the leakage
area.
WARNING: Void of Warranty
* If the battery is not properly handled, there may be a risk of ex-
plosion; make sure you are using the same or compatible battery.
* Please discard used batteries according to the instructions given
by the manufacturer.
* Please be aware that use of cracked, severely scratched or poor
quality discs may damage the optical drive and corrupt data in
the disc. Such discs may break while drive operates in high-
speed, in this case, your product warranty may be voided.

1.13 Using the Battery Pack
Booktop M1022 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 Booktop M1022 computer
without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter to
connect your Booktop M1022 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 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
recommended.
Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable; do not charge it with other power
adapter, otherwise re 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 battery latch. 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.
Carefully route the power cord and keep cables away from all trafc.
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. Furthermore,
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 specication, please
consult with your local vendors or power company for more details.

voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any
voltage from 100 to 240 volts and outputs power at 12V, (12V, 3.0A
for M1022), allowing you to use your Booktop M1022 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.
