General Safety Precautions English

I In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your notebook, we ask that you carefully follow these safety precautions. CAUTION: Using your notebook for long periods of time, with the base resting directly on exposed skin, can cause injury, burns or discomfort from the heat buildup that is generated from the base of your portable computer. ● After removing the notebook from the box, please ensure that all packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again for safe transportation of the notebook. ● Ensure that the AC Adaptor and power cable are placed in a safe area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adaptor should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing resting on or covering it. ● Before turning on the notebook, ensure that it is placed on a level surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which will aid in proper cooling. ● Do not obstruct the air vents of the notebook and do not insert any foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a fire or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage to the notebook. ● Do note press or touch the display panel. ● Only use the AC Adaptor that is provided with the notebook or that which is recommended by the manufacturer. Using non-recommended or non-approved parts may cause damage or increase the risk of a fire

or explosion. In the event that another AC Adaptor is required, advice should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent, in order to make sure that the correct part is recommended. Please follow the battery installation guidelines. Incorrect installation of batteries may increase the risk of a fire or explosion. Only replace old batteries with the same or an alternative compatible battery that is recommended by GIGABYTE or an authorized GIGABYTE Service Centre. Before connecting the notebook to the power outlet, make sure that the voltage rating of the AC Adaptor is compatible with the power specification in the country where you are located. When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the total ampere capacity for the circuit. Please check the instructions on Page 18~21. Before removing the battery from the notebook, make sure firstly that the notebook is switched off and secondly that the AC Adaptor is disconnected from the electrical wall socket. Once this is done, it would be safe to remove the battery. Do not carry the notebook battery, loose, in your handbag, backpack or pocket where loose metal objects (money, keys, chains, pens, etc) may be present. The metal objects can short circuit the terminals of the battery resulting in overheating that could cause a fire hazard. In the event that you need to transport the battery separately from the notebook, please place it inside an anti-static bag.

Q2006 SERIES USER’S MANUAL Travel Tips Although notebooks are designed to be as robust as possible to cater for a mobile lifestyle, extreme care and caution should be taken when travelling. When travelling by land, sea or air, every precaution should be taken to make sure that the notebook is well secured when it is not in use. ● The most essential accessory you should have when travelling is a good carry case for your notebook. The case should be well padded to protect your notebook from drops and bumps, etc and should be big enough to hold the size of notebook.

● Make sure there is enough room to carry your AC Adaptor and spare battery etc. Only carry the necessary items in your carry case, as the weight can become tedious especially when walking long distances or waiting in long queue’s. ● When travelling by air, never book your notebook in with checked baggage. Always declare it as hand baggage so that you can carry it into the airplane cabin with you. Most airlines allow two pieces of hand baggage with one of them being a bag or carry case with a portable notebook. Please consult your local airline for more details.

● When placing your notebook on an X-Ray, make sure that you keep a close eye on it when it is one the conveyor belt. Hold on to your notebook until the last minute before placing it on the conveyor. In some airports it could be stolen while you are stuck in a queue waiting to pass through the metal detector. ● Notebooks and hard drives can pass through X-Ray machines but never allow these to pass through a metal detector. This can cause data loss to the hard drive. ● Never place your notebook in the overhead storage compartment as this can make it susceptible to damage caused by turbulence that may be experienced during the flight or in other case theft. You can store your notebook under your seat, where it is always in sight. ● You should take every precaution to protect your notebook from dust, dirt, liquid spillage, food droppings, extreme weather conditions and direct exposure to sunlight. ● When travelling between different climates, from one extreme to another, condensation may occur inside the notebook. If this does happen, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate completely, before attempting to switch on. ● When travelling from extremely colder to extremely warmer climates in a short space of time, and vice versa, please allow the notebook some time to adapt to the change in environment.

● Discard old worn out batteries according to the instructions on Page VI. Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause an explosion. ● Never attempt to repair or service the notebook yourself. Please refer all repairs and servicing to qualified service personnel at a GIGABYTE Authorized Service Centre.

III Usage Tips ● When unplugging the power connector from the notebook, please hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect. Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the cable or the notebook. ● In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the notebook from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables that may be connected to the notebook. ● Do not use the notebook near water sources, like bathtubs, washing basins, kitchen or laundry sinks or swimming pools. Liquid that can spill onto the notebook by accident can cause electric shock to you and damage to the notebook.

Cleaning Tips When cleaning the notebook, please make sure that the notebook is switched off and disconnected from the power source and that the battery is removed.

Notebook Cover: Use a microfiber or lint free soft cotton cloth and kitchen detergent (mix 5 parts water to 1 part detergent). ● Wet the cloth and wring out all excess liquid and wipe the surfaces clean. ● Take extra care to make sure that the cloth is damp and not very wet, especially when cleaning around the air vents and other openings as too much liquid in the cloth could drip onto the external components causing damage to the notebook. ● Do not clean the keyboard with this liquid.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Keyboard: ● It is advisable to use a can of compressed air to clean debris that maybe caught underneath the keys. ● Isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the keys by dipping a lint-free soft cloth into it, wringing out the excess liquid and wiping the keys. ● Allow to dry for at least 5 minutes.

LCD: ● It is best to use a microfiber cloth to clean the surface of the LCD. ● If there are any marks or stains present, it would be wise to use commercially available LCD cleaning kit. When using a commercially available LCD cleaning kit, never spray the liquid directly onto the screen. You must spray it onto the cleaning cloth and then wipe the screen clean. ● If this is not available then you can mix 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% distilled water to clean the surface of the LCD screen. ● Dip the lint free soft cotton cloth into the solution, wringing out excess liquid. ● The cloth must be damp but not dripping with liquid. ● Take care not to let any excess liquid drip into the notebook. ● Start from the top of the LCD surface and wipe from side to side. ● Continue with this until the entire LCD surface has been cleaned. ● Wipe the display with a clean, dry lint free soft cotton or microfiber cloth. ● Wait for the LCD surface to dry completely and then close the lid. Be careful when using Isopropyl Alcohol as this is a flammable liquid. Please keep away from children, naked flames or a notebook that is switched on.

2.2 Recharging the Battery English

The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC adapter.

There is no “memory effect” in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Low Battery State When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point. CAUTION:To protect your notebook from damage, use only the power adapter that came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating. Once your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery, you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and then goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once you

provide power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the battery. Battery Replacement There is danger of explosion if an incorrect battery type is used for replacement. For computers equipped with a replaceable Lithium-ion battery pack, the following applies: ● If the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to the battery, or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions; ● If the battery is placed elsewhere in the computer, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions. The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text: CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

* 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 automatically resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
