Q2005 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 travellng 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 airine 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 compariment 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 oceur 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.

+ 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.

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

Use a microfiber or lit 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.

+_itis 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.

Itis 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.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

This chapter will show you the various ports and components of the Q2005, and familiarizes you with the notebook. Certain parts of the notebook can be upgraded by the user while others are fixed and cannot be changed.

Q2005 SERIES USER'S MANUAL

Your computer has two types of power sources: A Lithium-lon battery and an AC adapter.

Connecting the Power Adapters The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC as well as charging the battery.

Connecting the AC Adapter 1.Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook. 2.Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power

1.Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.

2.Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to battery power.

CAUTION: The Lithium-lon battery does not ship with a pre- charge initially. You will need to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC at the first time.

Itis recommended that only the AC Adapter supplied with the 2005 is used. Any other adapter could cause damage or malfunction and might result in injury.

1. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter. 2. Connect the AC adapter to the DC power port of your computer. 3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to an AC outlet.

2.2 Recharging the Battery

The Lithium-lon 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-lon 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.

the power adapter that came with it because each power

û CAUTION:To protect your notebook from damage, use only 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.

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:

+ Ifthe 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:

+ Ifthe 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 bat- tery 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.

Q2005 SERIES USER'S MANUAL

It also features function keys to allow you to change operational features instantiy. The function keys (F1 - F12 etc.) will act as hot keys when pressed while the Fn key is held down. In addition to the basic function key combinations, visual indicators are available when the hot key driver is installed.

2.6 Using the Touchpad

A Touchpad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your desktop and use applications on the notebook.

The Touchpad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and a scroll bar. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. The scroll bar allow you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars.

Clicking: Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightiy on the Touchpad once.

Double-Clicking: Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

Dragging: Dragging means pressing and holding the left button while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move, making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger. Using the Scroll bar allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the windows scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigat-ing through on-line pages.
