ViewBook Pro has two sources of power supply – the battery and the power adapter.
Before turning on your ViewBook Pro, please install the battery or connect the power
adapter.
Installing the battery
1. Turn ViewBook Pro up side down and place it on a at surface;
2. Gently push the battery lock into unlocked position;

Book Pro or the battery.
4. Having pushed the battery to the end you will hear a click sound. Then push the

When using your ViewBook Pro for the rst time, we suggest connecting the power adapter
and allowing for the battery to charge for at least 8 hours. Please note that the battery will
reach its best condition only after several charge/discharge cycles.
The battery charging normally starts once the battery charge drops below 98%. First the
master battery is charged. Once it is full, the secondary (optional) battery is charged. The
discharge process is opposite – the secondary battery is used rst and once it is empty the
master battery takes over.

Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. The
cursor responds as you move your nger across the surface of the touchpad.
Touchpad basics
The following items show you how to use the touchpad:
• Move your nger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor on the display (2).
• Move your nger up or down across the right edge of the touchpad (5) to scroll.
• Press the left (3) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform
selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right
buttons of a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.
Function Left button (3) Right button (4) Main touchpad (1)
Execute Quickly click twice. Tap twice (at the same speed as double
clicking a mouse button).
Select Click once. Tap once.
Drag
Click and hold, then use
nger on the touchpad
to drag the cursor.
Tap twice (at the same speed as double
clicking a mouse button), rest your
nger on the touchpad on the second
tap and drag the cursor.
Access context menu Click once.
When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry and clean. The touchpad is
sensitive to nger movement, hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping
harder will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
