Touchpad Left button Right button

The touchpad works a mouse pointing device replacement that is used under Windows based operating system. You can use the standard Microsoft driver that is compatible with the touchpad device and is normally used under Windows. -based operating system. However, if you want to utilize the added features of the touchpad, you may want to try installing its own device driver that comes with added utilities for enhancing the function of the device. Here how to use the touchpad pointing device: 1. The rectangular surface acts like a miniature duplicate of your display screen. To move the mouse cursor, place the finger lightly on the sensor pad and move in the desired direction. If you reach the end of the pad, lift your finger and place it back down on the other side of the pad. To select an item, click on the item by pressing the left button control or by simply tapping on the surface once. A light, quick tap always works best. To execute an item, click the left button twice or do a quick double tap on the surface. To simulate holding the mouse button down (dragging an icon or selection), use the tap-and-drag gesture. This feels much like a double click, except that the finger remains on the pad after the second tap: Tap, lift, tap, hold and move. The simulated button remains held as long as the finger remains on the pad.

Running the Notebook On Battery Power


The notebook uses a removable Lithium Ion (Li-ION) battery pack that provides power when you are away from an AC power source. You can recharge it many times.

Maximizing Battery Life


A main battery can be recharged many times. Gradually over time it will lose its ability to hold a charge. To maximize the life of your main battery: 1. Do not leave the notebook plugged in and unused for more than a few hours. Overcharging the main battery may shorten its life.

4-2

CHAPTER 4 BATTERY
2. 3. 4. 5. If you are not going to use to notebook for a long period of times, remove the battery. Alternate between battery packs if you have a spare. Make sure the notebook is off when you are replacing the battery. Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Charging Batteries
The battery need to be charged before you can use it to power the notebook. You can charge the battery using your notebook.

Charging the Main Battery


To charge the batteries while they are in your notebook, plug the notebook into a live AC outlet. It takes approximate 3 hours to charge each battery to full while the notebook is off. It takes much longer to charge a battery to full while the notebook is on. The battery may not start charging immediately if: 1. The battery is extremely hot or cold. To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity wait until it reaches room temperature: 5-35C (41F 95F). 2. The battery is almost completely discharged. Leave the power connected, and the battery should begin charging after few minutes.

New Battery
Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (and subsequently at least once every 30 days or after about 20 partial discharges) before using it.

4-3

CHAPTER 4 BATTERY

Battery Power
What to Do When the Battery Runs Low
When the battery runs low you have these options: 1. 2. Plug the notebook into a live AC outlet and recharge the battery. Save your work and turn off the notebook.

If you dont manage to do any of these things before the battery completely runs out of power, the notebook automatically enters Standby and keeps track of where you were so, when you turn on the power by using AC adapter again, you can continue where you left off.

Battery Life
Your notebooks battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs you are running, and peripheral device attached. Power Option settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured appropriately. Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days. We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. Please consult your service representative should you need to remove the battery for any reason.

Discharging the Battery Completely


Use the notebook with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Dont turn off the notebook by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the battery critically low, just let the notebook use up all of the battery power and shut down on its own. Disable the Power Options function in the Control Panel, especially any Alarms (unclick the tick boxes) and Schemes (change all the settings to Never). As the battery nears the end of its life save and close any critical files.

Charging the Battery Fully


When charging the battery, dont stop until the LED charging indicator light changes from orange to green.

4-4

CHAPTER 4 BATTERY

Maintaining the Battery


Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after about 20 partial discharges.

Conserving the Battery Power


The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so lowering the brightness level will save power. Different applications and external devices consume battery power even when they are not being used (see the sidebar note for further recommendations on battery conservation).

Disposing Of Used Batteries Safely


You can recharge a main battery many times. It should last for years. When the useful life of the battery expires or if the battery becomes damaged, you must discard it responsibly. Batteries should not be disposed of together with household waste.
