introducing the model
Welcome to the OQO model e2 computer. The model e2 is a
full-featured Windows Vista computer that gives you the total
productivity you need to fulfil your personal and professional
requirements.
mobility
The model e2 is the world’s smallest Windows Vista computer.
Its mobile form factor allows you to take it anywhere and its
ergonomic design facilitates usability on the go. Because the
model e2 uses the Windows Vista operating system, you have
uncompromised access to software applications and seamless
connectivity – via WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth®, or mobile
broadband (optional).
flexibility
While you’re on the go, the model e2 is your standalone,
handheld computer with its own integrated keyboard, track
stick, and capacitive TouchScrollers. The rugged, magnesium
alloy chassis with shock mounted hard drive and active drop
detect technology (or optional solid state drive) helps protect
your data in the event your model e2 is dropped. At the office,
the model e2 functions as your desktop computer connected
to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Also available
is an array of accessories and a docking station that provides
additional usage modes.
power
The model e2 was designed to deliver the total computing
performance necessary to achieve personal and professional
productivity, anytime and anywhere. The model e2 – with its
robust processing power, Windows Vista operating system,
application compatibility, memory and storage capacity, and
unparalleled connectivity – is everything you need to meet your
total productivity requirements.

powering up and down
Your model e2 ships with a screen protector and battery
attached.
To turn on your model e2, press the power button located on
the left side of the computer. When idle, conserve battery
power by putting your computer in Sleep or Hibernate mode.
To charge the battery, connect the power supply to the model
e2 as shown at right, and then plug into an outlet. The battery
will charge whenever the computer is connected to an outlet.
sleep mode
Sleep mode reduces the power consumption of your computer
by cutting power to non-critical hardware components. The
system maintains power to your computer’s random access
memory (RAM), which allows the system to quickly restore
your active applications and files. It will also save your session
to the hard drive, so you can access it even if the memory
loses power.
To put your computer into Sleep mode, press the power button.
hibernate mode
Hibernate mode saves your current system state to the
hard disk drive and then powers down your computer. When
you power up again, your open files and applications are
restored just as you left them. Hibernate mode draws no
power and is best for conserving battery life and changing
batteries.
To put your computer into Hibernate mode, click on the Start
menu and choose the ‘Hibernate’ option in the right arrow tab
menu.
