• Depends on your CRT, the size of the screen may be different from (smaller/larger than) the size CRT displayable area.
• The displayed screen is off-centered.
• The screen flickers.

The symptoms are caused by the lower CRT refresh rate when simul display is selected. This problem is usually more severe in DSTN than in TFT. If you want a better display, you should select CRT Only.

5.3 Resolutions and Colors

TFT:

Depending on the different drivers under Windows, DOS or other operating systems; you can have different resolutions with different fonts and colors. For more information on Display Modes, run the utility software supplied with your notebook. See Chapter 10, for installation procedure.

The resolutions on the CRT depends on both the CRT and its driver program. The VGA driver supplied can display up to 1024x768 (non-interlaced) under the Windows environment.

Note: To get the fastest speed and most colors under Windows, you need to install the VGA drivers that comes along with your notebook. For more information on how to install the drivers, see Chapter 10.

Chapter 6 Battery

6.1 Battery Pack

Depending on model, included with the notebook is one high energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion), or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. In general, a fully charged battery pack can support around 2-3 hours of operation, with Power Management option enabled. However, difference in configuration (CPU, HDD, Memory etc.) and system utilization (especially I/O activities) can affect the operation time greatly.

6.2 Recharging the Battery Pack

Your notebook supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to recharge battery:

• Make sure the battery pack is installed in the notebook.
• Connect the AC Adapter to the notebook and to an electrical outlet.

When a battery pack is being recharged, its Battery Pack LED would be "ON". For detail on the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 2.3 and Chapter 2.4. While the notebook is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion (NiMH) battery pack will take three hours (two hours) to recharge.

6.3 Questions and Answers:

Q: I can feel the heat next to the TouchPad during recharge. Is it normal?

A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry.

Q: My battery operation time isn't as long as it should be. Why?

A: The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature is within 15 - 25^ (59-77°F). The more the temperature deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for the battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait until it is cooled down, then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again.

Q: I didn't use my spare battery for a few days. Even though it was fully recharged, there wasn't as much power left as a newly charged one. Why?

A: The batteries will self-discharge (2-5% per day for NiMH, and 1% per day for Li-Ion) when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the notebook and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible.

Q: I didn't use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it.

A: If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it can automatically (for Li-Ion only) resume its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2 3 hours.

After completion of Pre-Charge, NiMH battery pack will exhibit some abnormal behavior during Fast Charge. This is the characteristics all NiMH rechargeable battery. What you experience is a pre-matured termination of recharge. After leaving your battery pack un-used (in storage) for months, the first couple of (Pre-Charge) recharge will last for a relatively short while, say 10 minutes, and recharge will terminate prematurely and indicate incorrectly that the pack is fully charged. In reality, the battery is not fully recharged. If this happens, take the battery pack out and return it back for recharging. Repeat this take-out and return-back operation until the pack is actually being recharged. A rule of thumb to tell if the recharge is "real" or "fake" is as follows. A "real" recharge will generate heat, while a "fake" recharge will not.

6.4 Battery Button, LEDs and Alarm

After you battery pack is removed from the battery pack compartment, you can find the battery pack is equipped with a battery button, and four LEDs, with each LED signifying approximately 25 percent energy level. For detail, refer to table below.

LED Indicators	LEDs Lit	Energy Level
■■■■	4	75%~100%
■■■□	3	50%~74%
■■□□	2	25%~49%
■□□□	1	0%~24%

The LEDs will be lit up only when the battery button is pressed. Once you let go of the battery button, the LEDs would be off. The LED on the extreme left is red in color. Depends on the type of battery pack (Li-Ion, or NiMH) being used in your notebook, the external outlook and exact position of the battery button and LEDs may be different. However, the following rule of thumb governs.

Battery LOW 1

When the battery charge is depleted to approximately its 10 - 15% level, the notebook is said to reach the Battery LOW 1 state. The system will give out three long beeps. And the system will continue to draw power from the battery pack until the battery pack reaches Battery Low 2 level.

Battery LOW 2

The notebook is said to reach the Battery LOW 2 state, when the battery is depleted to approximately 5 - 10% level. In this case, the system will give out a continuous beep. If Save-To-Disk file has been created and Suspend Mode (refer to Chapter 11.6) set to Save-To-Disk, Save-To-Disk will be performed automatically by the system. For detail on Save-To-Disk file, refer to Chapter 10.1. Without the Save-To-Disk file, you are having the risk of running out of power soon. If you haven't

saved your work, now is definitely a good time to do so. Otherwise all modifications you have made since last save will be lost.

6.5 Battery Maintenance

To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the notebook deplete its battery power completely before recharging.

To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your notebook consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the FDD and HDD as much as possible, and the LCD be set as bright as possible. When the battery is empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should be within 15 - 25^ (59 - 77^) . Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery.

6.6 Power Consumption

The notebook's Power Management System reduces power consumption when the computer is running. Power reduction is accomplished via an activity monitor which reduces CPU's clock speeds and puts peripheral devices in low power consumption stage during periods of "inactivity" (i.e. power is ON but the computer is idle). In general, these power saving functions work independent of any DOS or Windows applications.

LCD Cover Switch

If the LCD Suspend in the SETUP's Power Setup sub-menu is set to enabled, the notebook will automatically enter Suspend Option when you have the display flipped down. For detail on LCD Suspend and Suspend Option, please refer to Chapter 11.6.

Hard Disk Time Out

Depending on the timer setting in the Power Setup (See Chapter 11.6), HDD will spin-down; thus consumes less power. When there is any disk accessing, HDD will automatically wake itself up before performing any disk accessing. The wake-up, or spin-up, time varies from HDD manufacturers to manufacturers.

Suspend-To-RAM

There are three ways to enter Suspend-To-RAM mode:

• Press the Hot Keys Fn < F4 .
• Allow the system to invoke this action, by setting the Auto Suspend Time Out, and setting the Suspend Mode to Suspend(-To-RAM) in Chapter 11.6.
• With Suspend Mode set to Suspend(-To-RAM) in Chapter 11.6, flip down the LCD panel.

When in this mode, electrical power is removed from the LCD display panel. Only content of the RAM is maintained. To wake the system from Suspend-To-RAM, just press any key on the keyboard.

Save-To-File (Hibernation Mode)

There are four ways to perform Save-To-File (STF):

Press the Hot Keys < Fn > < F5>
- Allow the system to invoke this action, by setting the Auto Suspend Time Out, and setting the Suspend Mode to Save-To-File (STF) in Chapter 11.6.
- Press the system's power switch for less than 4 seconds.
- System would perform Save-To-File (STF) automatically when system entering Battery LOW 2. For detail on Battery LOW 2, refer to Chapter 6.4.

When Save-To-File (STF) is invoked, all data in memory and system status will be saved to the Save-To-Disk file (refer to Chapter 10.1). The system will shut the power down automatically. When you power-on the computer again, you will return exactly where you left off.

Note: For more information on Suspend(-To-RAM), and Save-To-File (STF), refer to Chapter 11.6 and Chapter 10.1. For more information on Hot Keys, see Appendix B.

Note: If the file for Save-To-File (STF) has not been created, system would actually perform a Suspend(-To-RAM) when a Save-To-File (STF) request is issued.

6.7 Reducing Power Consumption

Although power conservation is a built-in function of your notebook, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:

Use the AC power whenever possible (for battery only).
- Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher power usage.
- Try to use the HDD or the PCMCIA drive to read and write files, rather than using the FDD.

6.8 Removing/Inserting The Battery Pack

Your battery can easily be removed and replaced. Make sure that the computer is powered off before changing. If you would like to change the battery while power is on, make sure the AC Adapter is inserted or that you have saved your work via the Save-To-Disk feature.

To insert battery, reverse the steps above.

Follow these steps to remove the battery pack:

• Press the handle to the down-left directions as shown by arrow 1. At the same time, press another handle to down-right direction as shown by arrow 1.
• Lift the battery pack up as shown by arrow 2.

Power Switch:

There are two options to this field: Power Button, and Sleep Button. This field is for programming the Power Switch (see Chapter 2.6 and then Chapter 2.2). If this field is set to Power Button, the Power Switch would behave as a normal power On/Off button. If this field is set to Sleep Button, there are four scenarios:

• If the Power Switch is pressed continuously for 4 seconds or more, the system would power off.
• If the Power Switch is pressed for less than 4 seconds, the Suspend Option is set to Suspend (also referred to as STR), and when system is operating: system would perform Suspend-To-RAM; whereby system can be woke up by Power Switch. This scenario is applicable only to WinNT's and Win98's APM mode.
• If the Power Switch is pressed for less than 4 seconds, the Suspend Option is set to STF, and when system is operating: system would perform Suspend-To-File (STF) or

sometimes referred to as hibernate/hibernation; whereby system would save its system memory and status into a system file. System can be woke up by the Power Switch. This scenario is applicable only to WinNT's and Win98's APM mode.

• If the Power Switch is pressed for less than 4 seconds when system is either in STR or STF mode, system would wake up from one of these two suspend modes. Waking up from STR is immediate. Waking up from STF take a little while. System appears to be powered off when it is in STF mode.

Note:

For exact location of Power Switch, refer to diagram in Chapter 2.2. For detail on Suspend Option, refer to the Suspend Option below in Chapter 11.6. For detail on Suspend (also referred to as STR), STF and APM vs ACPI, refer to Chapter 6.6 and Chapter 6.7.

Note:

In ACPI operating systems (Windows 98 ACPI, and Windows 2000), the type of suspend the system would enter is determined and overridden by the related settings in the respective operating systems.

Power Management Under AC Power:

There are two options to this field: Off and On. When you have access to AC power, power management is not vitally important. For this reason, you might like to choose Off; by which all the "time-out" power management functions below would not be effective, if your system is powered by the AC power source. When On is chosen, the Power Management level is the same whether the AC power is connected, or not.

Power Saving Level:

There are four options to this field: Off, Custom, High Perform, and Longest Life. The setting of this field control the settings of the fields below: CPU Speed Control, Hard Disk Time-out, Video Time-out, Standby Time-out, and Auto Suspend Time-out.

• Setting this field to Off effectively sets these time-outs to Off as well.
• The Longest Life effectively set these time-outs to shorter time durations than those set by High Perform. Thus when Longest Perform is chosen, system is able operate without AC power source much longer than when is High Perform chosen.
• Custom provides you a power management template. You can use this template as a basis to customize your CPU- time-outs scheme.

If your system is running on APM (Advanced Power Management) mode, you can switch between these 4 Power Saving Levels by pressing Fn < F7 . The advantage of using Fn < F7 is that you do not have to go through the trouble of entering the SETUP to switch between these levels. And Fn < F7 is a cyclical switch that allows you to loop back to your original setting by pressing Fn < F7 repeatedly. You would hear the following beeps when you enter the levels below:

Power Saving Levels	Beep Descriptions
Off	1 beep
Custom	2_beeps
High Perform	3_beeps
Longest Life	4_beeps

For more information on APM and ACPI modes, please refer to Chapter 6.7.

Hard Disk Time-out:

You would be able to set this field only when the Power Saving Level is set to Custom. Select the time duration of which the hard disk would idle before spinning down. The amount of time for the hard disk to spin-up to its normal operating speed depends on its manufacturer and is around 3~5 seconds. If you are a performance-conscious user, you may like to set this field to Off.

Video Time-out:

You would be able to set this field only when the Power Saving Level is set to Custom. Select the time duration of which both the keyboard and mouse have no activity before turning off the LCD display. Any activities from keyboard or mouse would turn on the display immediately.

Standby Time-out:

You would be able to set this field only when the Power Saving Level is set to Custom. Select the time duration of which the system has no activity before entering Standby. In Standby mode, the LCD display would be turned off. Any activities from keyboard or mouse would resume the system to its normal operation immediately.

Auto Suspend Time-out:

You would be able to set this field only when the Power Saving Level is set to Custom. Select the time duration of which the system has no activity before entering the type of

suspend mode, as determined by the setting in Suspend Option below. Suspend Option has two options: Suspend (also referred to as STR) and, STF.

LCD Suspend:

There are two options to this field: Disabled, and Enabled. If this field is set to Enabled, system would enter the type of suspend mode (as determined by the setting in Suspend Option), when the LCD display is closed. Suspend Option has two options: Suspend (also referred to as STR) and, STF.

Suspend Option:

There are two options to this field: Suspend, and STF. Suspend can also be referred to as Suspend-To-RAM (STR). STF stands for Suspend-To-File, and can also be referred to as hibernate/hibernation. STF provides as much as a power saving as if the system had been powered off. While STR provides less power saving than STF, STR saves more power than when the system is in Standby mode. The way to trigger a resumption from STR and STF are the same; by pressing the Power Switch. However resuming from STF takes a significantly more time than resuming from STR.

Auto Save To File:

There are two options to this field: Disabled, and Enabled. With this field set to Enabled, system would automatically enter Save-To-File (STF) mode after the system has been in Suspend-To-RAM (STR) mode continuously for 30 minutes.

Wake Up Alarm/Resume Alarm Time:

Wake Up Alarm and Resume Alarm Time work hand-in-hand with one another. There are two options to Wake Up Alarm: Disabled, and Enabled. You would be able to set the Resume Alarm Time only if Wake Up Alarm has been set to Enabled. For example with these two fields set to Enabled and 8:00AM respectively, the system would be able to wake (resume) itself from Suspend (also referred to as STR) or STF to normal operation at 8:00AM. The amount of time required to wake up from STF is somewhat longer than STR.

Note: The time-out settings in the Power Management Setup is not applicable to ACPI OS's: Win98 ACPI and Win 2000.
