Connection to LAN
Your Notebook PC comes with an internal 10 Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module that con-
nects your Notebook PC to other Notebook PCs/networks through a local area network
(LAN) and supports data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps. The 10Base-T standard, also
called Twisted Pair Ethernet, is connected with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based
on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often re-
ferred to as Fast Ethernet. The built-in LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector.
Connection to WLAN (optional)
Your notebook PC has a PCIE slot, allows you to insert a WLAN card WLAN lets user con-
nect to the LAN without using any wire to the traditional RJ-45 jack. User can enjoy the
wireless connection within the range of Access Point (AP) of LAN.
Note According to local settings, the picture may be a little dierent from this chapter.
An Access Point (AP) is a wireless transmission and receiving device and is generally con-
nected to the server of a LAN environment or acts as a LAN hub with wireless connec-
tion. The access point can be set in an oce environment, airport or major railway sta-
tion. Details depend on the specics of each country. In most cases, you will probably use
it at the oce. Please consult with the network department of your company for more
details.
This computer has a built-in 3945ABG or 4965 AG WLAN module, using the Intel PRO/
Wireless network solution as part of the Intel Santa Rosa mobile technology platform.
The WLAN supports, at most, a 54 Mbps wireless connection speed. You can connect to
the WLAN Access Point without having to insert an extra WLAN card into the Express card
slot. WLAN module is similar to LAN module. You need to install a software driver before
using it.
After setting up the WLAN, computers can share documents, folders and printers as in an
ordinary LAN. WLAN is categorized into AP and Computer to computer(ad-hoc).

11
XINO PRO notebook
1. AP: An AP is a network device which connects wired LAN and wireless LAN together.

Chapter 3 Power Management
Your Notebook PC can be powered by either external AC adapter or built-in battery
pack.
This chapter will show you how to use and manage power as eciently as possible
while using this Notebook PC. Please follow the battery management instructions for
the best battery performance.
This chapter covers:
AC adapter, Charging, Replacing battery packs, What should you do when the battery
is low, Power management, Tips for power-saving.
AC ADAPTER
Important The AC adapter is for your Notebook PC only. It may cause damage to the
AC adapter or the connected device if the adapter is connected to other appliances.
When disconnecting the AC adapter, you must unplug the plug of AC adapter rst and
then unplug the powerconnector to your Notebook PC. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the Notebook PC or the AC adapter because of the voltage and current
surge.
When unplugging, do not pull on the power cable, you should hold the plug grip
(The picture is only for your reference.)

17
XINO PRO notebook
An AC adapter is a device which converts the alternating current input to the direct
current output for the Notebook PC. The input range of alternating current is between
100V-240V AC.
BATTERY PACK
A battery pack is the built-in power supply for your Notebook PC. It can be charged by
the external AC adapter. Battery life is determined by the operation of your Notebook
PC, the status of the battery pack and the battery capacity.
Note Battery pack maintenance and usage is described in Chapter 7.
Charge
Note When the battery temperature is beyond the range of 0~45 degrees Celsius, the
battery pack will automatically stop charging to preserve its integrity and longevity..
When the battery pack is fully charged, do not immediately unplug AC adapter and
then connect again. It may damage the battery pack.
Connect the AC adapter to the Notebook PC and plug the AC cable to the outlet. The
battery will charge automatically as soon as the AC Adapter is connected. In 30 sec-
onds, if the system determines that the capacity of the battery pack is lower than 98%
(this will vary from model to model), charge will continue, the charge and battery sta-
tus indicator will light orange; or charge will stop. When the light changes from orange
to green, it indicates that the batteries have been fully charged.
Generally speaking, it will take about 2.5 hours to charge fully when the Notebook PC
is powered o, and 3 to 4 hours when on.
Replacing the battery pack
Note Improper replacement of batteries may result in damage to your system. Only
use the battery packs oered by your Notebook PC’s manufacturer as replacements.
Used battery packs need to be handled according to the dealer’s instructions and ac-
cording to local law.
Do not disassemble the battery pack. If you regularly run on battery power when us-
ing your Notebook PC, you may need to buy an extra battery pack from the dealer.This
way,when one pack runs out, you can replace it with a fully charged battery pack im-
mediately.
Replacing battery packs:
Ensure that the Notebook PC is powered-o and disconnected from the mains power.
Carefully turn the Notebook PC upside down. Push the battery latch outward to the
Open position. Pull out the battery pack.
Battery latch
Place the new battery pack in; make sure that the battery latch is positioned to
lock.

XINO PRO notebook
Low battery
When the battery life decreases to around 10%, the Notebook PC will beep every 16
seconds as an alarm, and at the same time the orange indicator blinks. You should
save all work as soon as possible to avoid damage or loss of data. When the power
decreases to around 3%, the Notebook PC will be into standby mode, if the power ex-
hausted, the notebook PC will shut down automatically.
Note Low battery alarms can be congured in the Power Management settings within
the Windows operating system. The run time remaining when running on battery de-
pends on the work status of your Notebook PC. If you are running the audio functions,
WLAN, or HDD, then the battery may run down quicker.
Important Data will be lost if it is not saved before the battery runs out. If you are us-
ing a Compact Flash card, please do not read the card when there is little battery life
remaining as the power may run out before the reading process nishes.
Please run battery learning regularly.Please See also in chapter 2 battery learning.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your Notebook PC supports the ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface)
power management modes.
