Operating Your Computer This chapter provides information about the use of the computer. If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read only the parts containing information unique to your computer. CAUTION: e Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very hot or cold environment. e The computer can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not place the computer on your lap or touch it with your bare hands for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn.

Using the Keyboard Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer keyboard plus an Fn key added for specific functions. The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four major categories: e Typewriter keys e Cursor-control keys e Numeric keys e Function keys Typewriter Keys Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (AIt) key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are using. Cursor-Control Keys Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes. They include: e Up, down, left, and right arrow keys + Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys (used with the Fn key) e Insert and Delete keys NOTE: The word “cursor" refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.

We] (Ta dun] [sert 2 Po] v Pa) Numeric Keypad A 15-key numeric keypad is embedded in the typewriter keys as shown next:

Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you can use these keys to enter numerals. NOTE: e When the numeric keypad is activated and you need to type the English letter in the keypad area, you can turn Num Lock off or you can press Fn and then the letter without turning Num Lock off. e Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on the computer. If so, use the numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead. e The Num Lock key can be disabled.

Function Keys On the top row of the keys are the function keys: F1 to F12. Function keys are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual programs. Fn Key The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another key to perform the alternative function of a key. To perform a desired function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key. Hot Keys Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the corresponding function to the other or next choice. You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the keytop. The hot keys are described next.

Fn + Esc Switches the keyboard backlight off or on (with 4-level brightness).* Fn + F1 Switches the RF (radio frequency) radio on and off. When off, all wireless modules (such as WLAN, Bluetooth, and WWAN) cannot be used. When on, individual settings of the module work. Fn + F3 Decreases the sound volume. Fn + F4 Increases the sound volume.

LG Description Fn+F5 Switches the display output to the next choice if an external display is connected. Choices are: LCD only P + External display (Duplicate) P + External display (Extend) External display only The hot keys are equivalent t Windows logo key + P. Fn + F6 Decreases the LCD brightness. Fn + F7 Increases the LCD brightness. Fn + F8 Switches the touchscreen function off or on.* Fn + F9 Switches the touchpad function off or on. Fn + F10 Switches the system sound output off (mute) or on. Fn + F11 Switches the display backlight off or on. Fn + F12 Serves as the sleep button that you can define with Windows’ Power Options. TABLE NOTE: * means “select models only." Windows Keys The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions: Windows Logo key and [|] Application key. The EE Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs software- specific functions when used in combination with other keys. The Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click.

Using the Touchpad CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may damage the touchpad surface. NOTE: e You can press Fn+F9 to toggle the touchpad function on or off. e For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pad clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force. The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons. The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad. Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad: Point Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the selection on the screen.

Click Press and release the left button. or- Tap gently anywhere on the pad. Double-click | Press and release the left button twice in quick succession. or- Tap twice on the pad rapidly. Drag and Press and hold the left button, then move your finger until drop you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release the button (drop) when you finish dragging your selection to the destination. The object will drop into the new location. or- Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap, keep your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the selected object will drop into place. TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping" on the touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer be valid. Touch Gestures The touchpad supports touch gestures for Windows such as two-finger scrolling, pinch zoom, rotating, and others. For settings information, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad. Configuring the Touchpad You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can use the right button as the left button and vice versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on. To configure the touchpad, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad.

Using the Touchscreen (Optional) NOTE: You can press Fn+F8 to toggle the touchscreen function on or off. CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. Use your finger or the included stylus. Select models have a capacitive touchscreen. This type of touchscreen responds to objects that have conductive properties, such as fingertips and a capacitive-tipped stylus. You can navigate on the screen without using a keyboard, touchpad, or mouse. You can change the touchscreen sensitivity settings to suit your scenario. Double-tap the Touch Screen Mode shortcut on Windows desktop to open the settings menu and select one of the options (as shown below).

4. Upon a successful scan, the system beeps and the decoded barcode data

Managing Power Your computer operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way.

AC Adapter CAUTION: e The AC adapter is designed for use with your computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. e The AC power cord supplied with your computer is for use in the country where you purchased your computer. If you plan to go overseas with the computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. e When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the computer. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or computer. e When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100 V - 240 V AC.

Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. CAUTION: A battery pack can be removed only when it is not being charged/ discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack (for models having more than one battery pack). Charging the Battery Pack NOTE: e Charging will not start if the internal temperature of the battery pack is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F); the charging process will stop if the internal temperature of the battery pack gets above 60 °C (140 °F). To avoid damaging the battery under this situation, disconnect the AC adapter and wait for the battery to return to room temperature before charging again. e During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. e The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity. e The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator (43) on the computer glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the computer power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Indicator lights green. It takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge one battery pack. If your computer has two battery packs, the computer charges the two in parallel. CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery.

Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. The G-Manager program provides a tool called “Battery Recalibration” for the purpose. Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. You can find the battery icon on the Windows taskbar (lower-right corner). The icon shows the approximate battery level. If your computer has two battery packs, the computer discharges the two in parallel. Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery. Battery Ron Battery Level Description [Em | Discharging | The icon shows the charge remaining in 10-percent increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. Low The battery charge has reached the low-battery level.

Battery Icon Battery Level Description [A |Critically The battery charge has reached the critical battery low level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your computer into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the computer's Battery Indicator (=) also blinks red to alert you to take actions. Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your computer in Hibernation mode, or turning off the computer. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION: e There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the computer manufacturer's optional battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer's instructions. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. A battery pack can get hot due to long working hours. Do not touch a hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing a battery pack, put it in a well-ventilated area. NOTE: You can hot swap a battery pack if your computer model has another one supplying the power. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between -21°C (-5.8 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F).

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter. After turning off

the computer, allow a cool-down time of at least 5 minutes before removing the battery pack. For models having more than one battery pack: Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack.

Heat Related Concerns Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat- related concerns, follow these guidelines: e Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. e Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with your device or its AC adapter when it's operating or connected to a power source. For example, don't sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. e _lf your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. e If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface. e Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during normal use.
