Driver Installation General
Guidelines
As a general guide follow the
default on-screen instruc-
tions for each driver (e.g.
Next >Next >Finish) unless
you are an advanced user. In
many cases a restart is re-
quired to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g.
PC Camera, WLAN are ON
before installing the appro-
priate driver.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers
make sure you enable Win-
dows Update in order to get
all the latest security updates
etc. (all updates will include
the latest hotfixes from Mi-
crosoft).

ViewSonic VNB109 7
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The Wireless LAN
indicators show
that the WLAN module
is powered on,
however the module
does not connect.
The WLAN module is turned off in the Windows Mobility Center. The
computer’s wireless function keys will not function properly if Wireless
is turned OFF in the Windows Mobility Center control panel. Make
sure that Wireless is ON in the Windows Mobility Center to ensure
proper function key behavior.
TheBluetoothmodule
is off after resuming
from Sleep.
The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the
Sleep power-saving state. Use the key combination (Fn + F12) to power
on the Bluetooth module after the computer resumes from Sleep.
The captured video
files from the PC
Camera are taking up
too much disk space.
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial
amount of disk space for each file.
Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of 15GB of free
space on the C: drive system partition. It is recommended that you save
the capture video file to a location other than the C:drive, limit the file
size of the captured video or reduce video resolution (Options >Video
Capture Pin... >Output Size).

Wireless Device
Operation Aboard
Aircraft
The use of any portable
electronic transmission
devices aboard aircraft is
usually prohibited. Make
sure the wireless mod-
ules are OFF if you are
using the computer
aboard aircraft.
Use the key combina-
tions to toggle power to
the 3.75G/HSPA/WLAN/
Bluetooth modules, and
check the LED indicator/
visual indicator to see if
the modules are powered
on or not (see Table 1 on
page2 and Table 2 on
page5 ).
