About this Concise User Guide
This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is
a supplement, and not a substitute for the expanded English language User’s
Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual
disc supplied with your computer. This disc also contains the drivers and utilities
necessary for the proper operation of the computer (Note: The company reserves
the right to revise this publication or to change its contents without notice).
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they
aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure (or re-install) portions of the system,
refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual disc does not contain an operating system.
Regulatory and Safety Information
Please pay careful attention to the full regulatory notices and safety information
contained in the expanded User’s Man- ual on the Device Drivers & Utilities +
User’s Manual disc.

FCC Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
2. This device must accept any
interference received,
includ- ing interference that may
cause undesired operation
1.This device may not cause harmful
interference.

6 ST PLUS ENGLISH ENGLISH ST PLUS 6
Instructions for Care
and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can
be damaged. To prevent this, follow these
suggestions:
• Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the
computer falls, the case and the components
could be damaged.
• Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep
the computer and power supply away from
any kind of heating element. This is
an electrical appliance. If water or any other
liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly
damaged.
• Avoid interference. Keep the computer
away from high capacity transformers,
electric motors, and other strong magnetic
fields. These can hinder proper performance
and damage your data.
• Follow the proper working procedures for
the computer. Shut the computer down
properly and don’t forget to save your work.
Remember to periodically save your data as
data may be lost.
• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised
LCD electro-plated logo, the logo is covered
by a protective adhesive. Due to general wear
and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over
time and the exposed logo may develop sharp
edges. Be careful when handling the
computer in this case, and avoid touching the
raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid
placing any other items in the carrying bag
which may rub against the top of the
computer during trans- port. If any such wear
and tear develops contact your service
center.
Power & Battery Safet
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use
with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries
indicated in this manual.
• Your AC/DC adapter may be designed for
international travel but
it still requires a steady, uninterrupted
power supply. If you are unsure of your local
power specifications, consult your service
representative or local power company.
• The AC/DC adapter may have either a 2-prong
or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong
is an important safety feature; do not
defeat its purpose. If you do not have
access to a compatible outlet, have a
qualified electrician install one.
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be
sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by
its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension
cord(s) you use can sup- port the total current
load of all the connected devices.
• Make sure that your computer is completely
powered off before putting it into a travel bag
(or any such container).
• Only use batteries designed for this
computer. The wrong battery type may
explode, leak or damage the computer.
• Do not continue to use a battery that has
been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g.
bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the
computer continues to work with a damaged
battery in place, it may cause circuit damage,
which may possibly result in fire.
• Recharge the batteries using the computer’s
system. Incorrect recharging may make the
battery explode.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer
any battery pack repair or replacement to
your service representative or qualified
service personnel.
• Keep children away from, and promptly
dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose
of batteries carefully. Batteries may explode
or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly
handled or dis- carded.
• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.
• Affix tape to the battery contacts before
disposing of the battery.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
• Do not touch the battery contacts with
your hands or metal objects.

Polymer Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is
specific to poly- mer batteries only, and where
applicable, this overrides the general battery
precaution information.
• Polymer batteries may experience a slight
expansion or swelling, however this is part
of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not
a cause for concern.
• Use proper handling procedures when using
polymer batteries. Do not use polymer
batteries in high ambient temperature envi-
ronments, and do not store
unused batteries for extended periods.
Cleaning
• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer,
but do not apply cleaner directly to the
computer.
• Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or
abrasive cleaners on any part of the
computer.
• (For Computer Models Supplied with Light
Blue Cleaning Cloth) Some computer models
in this series come supplied with a light blue
cleaning cloth. To clean the computer case
with this cloth follow the instructions below.
• Power off the computer and peripherals.
• Disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the
computer.
• Use a little water to dampen the cloth
slightly.
• Clean the computer case with the cloth.
• Dry the computer with a dry cloth, or allow it
time to dry before turning on.
• Reconnect the AC/DC adapter and turn the
computer on.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery.
The battery is recyclable.
At the end of its useful life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Check with your
local solid waste officials for details in your area for
recycling options or proper disposal.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type re-
commended by the manufacturer.
Discard used battery according to the manufactu-
rer’s instructions.
Servicing
Attempting to service the computer yourself
may violate your warranty and expose you
and the computer to electric shock. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel,
particularly under any of the following
conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is
damaged or frayed. • If the computer
has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when
you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or
damaged (do not touch the
poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke
coming from your computer.
System Startup
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Place the computer on a stable surface.
3. Insert the battery and make sure it is locked
in position.
4. Securely attach any peripherals you want
to use with the computer (e.g. keyboard and
mouse) to their ports.
5. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack
on the left of the computer, then plug
the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect
the AC power cord to the AC/DC
adapter (make sure you use the adapter
when first setting up the computer, as to
safeguard the computer during shipping the
battery will be locked to not power the system
until first connected to the AC/DC adapter).
6. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a
comfortable viewing angle (do not exceed
130 degrees); use the other hand (as
illustrated in Figure 1) to support the base of
the computer (Note: Never lift the computer
by the lid/LCD).
7. Press the power button to turn the computer
“on”.
Shut Down
Note that you should always shut your computer
down by choosing the Shut down command in Win-
dows (see below). This will help prevent hard disk or
system problems.
1. Click the Start Menu
icon .
2. Click the Power
item .
3. Choose Shut Down
from the menu.

case, or where you are re-configuring your
computer for a different system, you will find
this manual refers to Microsoft Windows 10.
