file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\~hh6357.htm 5/23/01
1. Align the battery connectors and place the battery in the computer.
2. Slide the battery latch to the locked position.
3. Make certain that the battery latch engages properly.
NOTE When the battery is installed and the computer is connected to AC power, see Connecting the
AC Adapter below, it starts charging automatically. At moderate temperatures, approximately 70°
Fahrenheit (21°C), the battery will be fully charged in four to six hours. In warmer or cooler
temperatures, the battery can take much longer to fully charge. Refer to Power Management for
additional information.
Connecting the AC Adapter
To connect the AC adapter
1. Connect the AC adapter power cord to the AC adapter.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the power jack at the right side of your computer.
3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Lift the display to open the LCD.
5. Open the LCD panel to a comfortable viewing angle.
6. Press FN On (FN+spacebar) to turn ON the power.
Turning the Computer On and Off
You can operate the computer while the battery is charging, while on external power , or on battery
power only.
To turn on the computer
lPress the FN On (spacebar) once, and then give the system time to respond.
To turn off the computer
1. Press FN Off (Q key) to enter Off Mode
2. From the Start menu, click Shut Down. Then, from the Shut Down Windows screen select Shut

the Display lid suspend/resume drop down box.
Computer Off In Off Mode, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while
practically all the rest of the components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power
consumption to a minimum. In Off Mode, your computer remains active, but with a minimum possible
power consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing FN On (spacebar). A fully-charged
battery can maintain in Off Mode for many hours.
Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) FN+F10 enters Suspend to DiskMode. This is similar to turning off the
computer, except that the current state of the computer is copied to the hard disk as a special file. In a
Suspend to Disk there is no power consumption. When the computer returns from suspend mode , the
desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend
to Disk is very useful when you don’t want to take the time to shut down all open programs one by one
to shut off the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.
CAUTION Shutting down the computer improperly could result in lost or corrupted data.
Adjusting the Volume
Volume for the computer is adjusted by using function key combinations.
l FN + F6 decreases the volume

ENTER The ENTER key signals the computer that you have completed your entry. This is
your way of telling the computer to process the information that you have entered.
ESC The ESC (escape) key cancels the current line if you are working in DOS. In some
DOS applications, pressing the ESC key backs you out of your last menu selection.

GoBook Pro Help Page 15 of 74
file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\~hh6357.htm 5/23/01
Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard area. The embedded keypad emulates the numeric
keypad typically found on a full-size keyboard. It is arranged like a calculator for applications that
require you to key many numbers or for use. For example, with the Calculator in the standard
Windows Accessories.
Pointing Stick
The pointing stick is a pressure sensitive pointing device that provides all the features of a two-button
mouse. Its primary function is to move the cursor around the screen.
Using Your Pointing Stick
Clicking
1. First, place your fingers on the pointing stick.
2. Gently move your finger in the direction you want the cursor to move. The stick detects the
change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction.
3. The left and right buttons located directly below the pointing stick are the same in function as
those on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or
performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move
the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The
functions of these buttons are software specific.
NOTE The pointing stick also has the ability to do a left button click if it is tapped.
Double-clicking
lDouble-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons.
Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button
two times. This action is commonly referred to as “double-clicking” an object.
NOTE Double-clicking can also be accomplished by double-tapping with the pointing stick.

FN+F5 Toggles the audio between mute and on
FN+F6 Decrease volume

FN+SPACEBAR Turns on computer
FN+Q Turn off computer

GoBook Pro Help Page 16 of 74
file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\~hh6357.htm 5/23/01
Dragging
lMove the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down
the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button.
lMove the pointer to the desired location. Tap the pointing stick twice quickly as if you were
double-clicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the
desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.
Adjust the pointing stick settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings
allow you to change the orientation of the pointing stick from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune
the pointer movement and timing of clicks.
General Guidelines
The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the type of screen used on many
notebook and sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display,
especially in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever the mouse is moved
quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse cursor, you should:
lEnable the “Pointer Trails” feature to add trailing cursors.
lUse a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level.
You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This will
allow you to move the mouse cursor quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a
finer degree of control when you apply minimum pressure.
NOTE To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, and
then choose Mouse to make adjustments.
Connecting an External Keyboard or Mouse
You can use your GoBook Pro computer with an optional external keyboard, numeric keypad, or
mouse. The devices are “hot swap” capable, which means you do not have to power down the GoBook
Pro to connect these devices to the USB connection located on the right side of the unit.

The PC Card Slot
The PC card slot can be used as an interface between your computer and a variety of communications
devices, such as network adapters, SCSI adapters, fax/modems, or they can be used to provide
additional data storage capacity. Your computer’s PC Card slot supports Type I, or II PC Cards, 32-bit
CardBus cards, and Zoomed Video cards. Type III PC Cards require an optional extender card.
Installing a Card
1. The top side of a PC Card is usually identified with a label. Insert the card into the slot with the
top up and the edge with pinhole contacts going in first. You will feel some resistance as the card
slides into the back of the slot.
2. PC Cards require drivers, or a program that allows the operating system to use a specific device.
Many drivers are included with Windows, but if not, you will be prompted to install the driver
included with your card.
3. In Windows 98, the computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation. A single beep
means that there was a problem recognizing the card. There is no beep with other versions of
Windows software .
NOTE Please read the instructions included with individual PC Cards. Some cards may be inserted
with power on, while others require that the computer be turned off.
