General

Before using the appliance for the first time, please carefully read through the following instructions and note all warnings, even if you are familiar with handling electronic equipment. Store this manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell or give away the appliance, please ensure you handover this manual too.

Operating Environment

Place the unit on a firm, level surface, and do not place any objects on the unit. The appliance is not designed for use in rooms with a high temperature or air humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or excessive dust.

Please ensure that:

  • no direct heat sources (e.g. heaters) act on the appliance
  • the appliance is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light
  • you avoid contact with splashing and dripping water and aggressive liquids
  • the appliance is not exposed to large temperature fluctuations, as otherwise air humidity can condense
  • the appliance is not exposed to excessive impacts and vibrations
  • Do not place any fire (e.g. candlelights) onto or next to the device.
    The unit must on be connected to a suitable mains power supply using the mains power lead provided

The device will store your data on a media with a magnetic surface. For

this reason, keep the device away from sources that generate magnetic and electromagnetic fields.

Power Supply

The unit still uses electricity in standby operation. In order to disconnect the unit completely from the power supply, the plug must be removed from the power supply socket. The unit should therefore be set up so that direct and unimpeded access to the power supply socket is possible at all times, and the plug can be removed immediately in the event of an emergency. In order to prevent the risk of fire, the plug should always be removed from the power supply socket during longer periods of non-use, e.g. during holidays. Please disconnect the unit from the power supply before storms and/or severe weather with the risk of lightning strikes and disconnect the antenna plug. Use only the power supply unit provided “KSAFK1900342T1M2” in order to prevent the risk of overheating, housing deformation, fire, electric shocks, explosions and other dangers. Never connect the power supply unit to other devices.

Warning: The battery may explode if handled incorrectly! Do not attempt to dismantle the battery, change the polarity, and under no circumstances dispose of the battery in the fire! Keep the battery away from children and dispose of it properly!

Incorrect replacement of the battery may create the risk of explosion. Replace the battery only with an identical type or type recommended by the manufacturer.

Keep environmental protection in mind! Used batteries must not be disposed of as household waste! Used batteries must be disposed of at an old battery collection point.

Caution! Risk of fire / explosion

This unit works with a high-quality Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Under very unfavourable conditions, contact sparks may be generated, which can ignite explosive or combustible vapours.

We therefore strongly recommend that the unit is not used in dangerous areas such as filling stations, where the unit should be switched off.

Cables

Always hold cables by the plug, and do not pull on the cable itself. Never touch the power supply cable with wet hands, since this may cause a short-circuit or electric shock. Never place the unit itself, items of furniture or other heavy objects on cables, and ensure that these do not become kinked, especially at the plug and the connection sockets. Never tie a knot in a cable, and do not tie it together with other cables. All cables should be laid where they will not be trodden on or present an obstacle. A damaged power supply cable can cause a fire or electric shock. Check the power supply cable from time to time. Do not use any adapter plugs or extension cables which do not comply with the applicable safety standards, and do not make any modifications to the power supply cables!

Maintenance and Care

Maintenance work is required if the unit has been damaged, e.g. if the plug, power supply cable or housing have been damaged, liquids or foreign objects have got into the unit, if it has been exposed to rain or damp, or if it does not work properly or has been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or smells, switch the unit off immediately, and remove the plug from the power supply socket. In such cases, the unit should not be used until it has been checked by a specialist. Maintenance work should be carried out only by qualified specialist personnel. Never open the housing of the unit, the power supply adapter or the accessories. With the housing open, there is a risk of possibly fatal injury from electric shock. Clean the unit only with a clean, dry cloth, and never use any aggressive fluids. Do not open your notebook! Hardware modifications and repairs should be carried out only by qualified specialist, service or maintenance personnel! The CD drive of this unit is classified as a “Class 1 Laser Product”, and designated accordingly by a sticker on the housing. Never open the device, and do not attempt to carry out repairs yourself. Invisible laser radiation is present inside the device. Do not expose yourself to the laser beam. Do not attempt to open the housing of the device. Otherwise you will lose your warranty.

Disposal of Old Devices

  1. If the symbol of a crossed-through waste bin is applied to the product, this means that this product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC
  2. All old electrical and electronic devices must be disposed of separately from household waste at special approved disposal points.
  3. The proper disposal of old devices will avoid environmental damage and dangers to personal health.
  4. Further information on proper disposal of the old device can be obtained from your local municipal offices or the shop in which you bought the product.

Children

Never allow children to use electrical appliances without supervision. Children are not always able to recognize the potential dangers. Small parts may cause suffocation if swallowed! Keep the packaging film out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation.

Intended Use

This unit is an electronic entertainment device. It may be used only for private purposes, and not for industrial or commercial purposes. This product is not intended for use in medical, life-saving or life-preserving applications. It may be used for

domestic, office or small business applications (to EN 61000-6-1/EN 61000-6-3). This includes games, communications and office applications amongst others. The unit should also not be used outside closed rooms or in tropical climatic regions. The unit should only be used in combination with connection cables and external devices which conform to the unit with regard to safety, electromagnetic compatibility and screening quality. This unit complies with all relevant norms and standards in connection with CE conformity. In the event of modifications to the unit not approved by the manufacturer, compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. Use only the accessories specified by the manufacturer. If using the unit outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the national regulations and laws of the country of use must be observed. Our notebooks comply with the safety standard EN60950 for IT products. For ergonomic reasons, and to prevent overheating of the unit due to blockage of the ventilation slots, the notebook should not be placed on the knees during use. Ensure when connecting peripheral devices that the cables are not too short, and that no mechanical stress is placed on the connection plugs! When connecting the unit to an antenna system, adequate protection against over-voltage and static discharge must be ensured by proper earthing. Only use the unit with the trolley, stand, holder or cable specified by the manufacturer or supplied with the unit. If placing the unit on a trolley, take care to prevent

the unit tipping over. Take care in the use of your hard disk. Observe the specified precautionary measures, so that your hard disk is not damaged and your guarantee invalidated. Damage to the hard disk can lead to the loss of data.

Noise Abatement

  • Legal regulations specify a maximum noise limit of 100 dB.
    (France only: Articles 44.5 and 44.6 of public health regulations, amended by Article 2 of the law of 28th May 1996 specify a maximum noise limit of 100 dB.) When using other headphones, hearing damage may be caused by increased noise levels.
  • Using the loudspeakers/headphones at higher volume may damage your hearing and cause noise pollution.
  • In dangerous situations, the noise may impair your attention or mean that you are no longer aware of what is going on around you.

RF Interface

  • Switch the unit off when you are in an aeroplane, when driving a car, or when in a hospital, operating room or in the vicinity of any medical electronic systems. The radio waves transmitted can impair the function of sensitive devices.
    • Always keep the unit at least 20 cm away from a heart pacemaker, since the proper function of the heart pacemaker could be impaired by radio waves.

  • The transmitted radio waves can cause interference to hearing aids.

  • Never bring the unit into close proximity with inflammable gases or explosive atmospheres (e.g. a paint shop) with the radio components switched on, since the transmitted radio waves can cause explosion or fire.
  • The range of the radio connection depends on environmental and ambient conditions.
  • In case of data transfer via a wireless connection, it may also be possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.

TARGA GmbH is not responsible for radio or television interference caused by unauthorised modifications to this unit.

TARGA further accepts no responsibility for the replacement or exchange of connection cables and devices not specified by TARGA GmbH. The user alone is solely responsible for the rectification of faults and replacement or exchange of the unit caused by such unauthorised modifications.

Using the Battery Pack

Battery Safety Tips

Replacing or handling the battery incorrectly may present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury.

  • Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of battery.
  • Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to temperatures above +60°C (+140°F).
  • Do not temper with batteries. Keep them away from children.
  • Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.
  • Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or for proper disposal in your area.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.

Follow these tips to help optimizing battery life and avoid a sudden power loss.

  • Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the Suspend Timer's time period.
  • Turn off the system if you won't be using it for a period of time.
  • Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve power.
  • Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.

Charging the Battery Pack Properly

Your notebook computer features a powerful, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. Normally, a fully charged battery delivers approx. 2 to 3 hours of battery operation for your notebook. It is very important that you enable the Power Management features under Windows XP for careful management of power consumption. The endurance will vary depending on the different notebook configurations as well as work habits. A very bright display, lots of hard disk access using the DVD drive as well as an extensive use of the WLAN adapter will increase power consumption and therefore reduce battery endurance.

  1. To charge the battery, connect the power adapter to the notebook and to a wall outlet.

During the charging process, the battery indicator (LED) located next to the status indicators (LEDs) will light up. If the notebook is turned off, an empty battery will take approx. 3 hours to become fully charged. The charging time will be longer if the notebook is turned on and being used. It is normal that the battery becomes warm during the charging process.

  1. The battery will develop its full capacity after completing 20 charging and discharging cycles without performing any quick charging.

  2. In order to maintain its full capacity, it is recommended that you fully discharge the battery from time to time. To do so, disconnect the power adapter and keep

your notebook turned on until it automatically toggles to the Standby mode. Then reconnect the power adapter in order to recharge the battery.

  1. As a rule the battery capacity will reduce to approx. 85 % after performing 500 charging cycles.

  2. Never leave the battery unused for a long period of time. All batteries are subject to self-discharge. Storing the battery for a long time may cause a low discharge status that could damage the battery. Make sure that you charge the battery from time to time (approx. every 4 weeks).

  3. While charging, never exposure the battery to high temperatures (higher than 45 °C or 113 °F).

Knowing the Touchpad

The touchpad integrated in your Notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with standard mouse, allowing you to control the Notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and making selection with its two buttons.

TARGA Traveller 1561 - Knowing the Touchpad - 1

text_image Diagram of a device interior with numbered annotations pointing to specific components

1. Cursor Movement Area

This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to place your finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by moving your finger.

2. Right Button

Acts as the mouse's right button.

3. Left Button

Acts as the mouse's left button.

Using the Touchpad

Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:

■ Positioning and Moving

Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the touchpad.

■ Point and Click

When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure, called as point and click is the basics of operating your Notebook. Unlike the traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.

■ Drag and Drop

You can move files or objects in your Notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the

desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop operation.

TARGA Traveller 1561 - ■ Drag and Drop - 1

text_image Using the Touchpad Move the cursor by sliding your fingertip. Put your wrist on the desk comfortably.

■ Configuring the Touchpad

You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For example, if you are a left-hand user, you may want to swap the functions of the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size, shape, moving speed and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen.

To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver in your Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in Control Panel allows you to change the configuration.

Why does My Computer Show a Smaller Hard Disk Size than the Advertised Size, e.g. 112GB Instead of the Advertised 120GB?

Solution: The reason is the different units used for calculating this value. All manufacturer documents use units referring to base 10 digits. Therefore, 120 GB correspond to 120 billion bytes (this is a 120 followed by 9 zeros). However, the computer calculates using units based on 1024. 1 GB is equal to 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes = 1 073 741 824 bytes. Thus, for the computer 1 GB is a little more than 1 billion bytes. The conversion of the (decimal) 120 GB is: (120 billion) divided by (1073741824) = approx. 112 GB in units of 1024 for the computer.

How can I determine the exact capacity of the hard disk?

Solution: Open the Control Panel, followed by the Administrative Tools folder. All system programs of this folder are displayed. Open Computer Management. Computer Management is a general program that includes an area with the name Storage. Click on the + symbol in front of this area and select the suboption Disk Management. On the right of the window, all the existing data media are displayed. Disk 0 represents the system hard disk. The list also displays the total size and the partitions on each medium, along with the size of each partition. Please note: currently there is more than one partition because of the Recovery and Driver partitions. These partitions total the following size of the hard disk.

Notebook

How Can I Enable/Disable the Autorun of CD-ROMs in Windows?

Solution: Click Start/Run and enter "regedit". Search for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet \Services\Cdrom and then the entry Autorun. Double-click on the entry to edit the value: 1 = enabled 0 = disabled. After changing this value you must restart your computer.

The e-mail hotkey always launches Microsoft Outlook, but I want to use a different mail program. Is this possible?

Solution: Yes. In Control Panel, select the Internet options and then select the Programs tab. Under E-Mail, select the program you want to launch by pressing the hotkey.

The Internet browser hotkey always launches Microsoft Internet Explorer, but I want to use a different browser. Is this possible?

Solution: Yes. Click on Start/All Programs/Program Access and Defaults. Select User-defined. Next, click the down arrow. Here you can select a different browser to become your default browser. As an alternative, during the installation of the browser there should be an option to select whether to use it as your default browser.

Notebook

Are you receiving undesired messages (spam) via Windows Messaging Service?

This is a new form of “Internet spam”. The Windows Messaging Service normally used for sending messages in a local network is misused to spread undesired or sometimes dangerous publicity mail to Internet users. In order to block these messages under Windows XP proceed as follows:

Click the Start button in the lower-left corner.

Next click Control Panel, then on Performance and Maintenance.

In Control Panel, click on Administrative Tools.

Double-click on Services.

In the list of services, select Messaging Service.

Double-click on it.

Under Startup Type select Stop.

Under Service Status, click Stop.

Next click Apply and then OK.

The service has been stopped, you will not receive any further messages.

How do I clean my notebook TFT display?

Solution: To clean a TFT display you can use normal brand glass detergent.

However, be careful that you don't apply too much detergent and that the liquid enters the display. Use a dry cotton cloth to dry the unit and avoid scratching the surface. It's best to use cleaning sets made especially for notebooks and TFT displays.

Pixel errors on LCDs (notebook computers + monitors)

Active Matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (XGA) rendered by three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), a total of almost 3 million control transistors are used. Due to this high amount of transistors and the corresponding complex manufacturing process, in some cases faulty or the wrong driving of pixels and/or sub-pixels can occur. In the past there have been different attempts to define the number of permitted pixel errors. Normally, these were very complicated and completely different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, for manufacturing and guarantee repairs, Targa follows the strict and transparent definition of the ISO 13406-2, Class II standard that will be summarized in the following. Among others, ISO Standard 13406-2 defines universal specifications regarding pixel errors. The pixel errors are categorized into four error classes and three error types. And each pixel is composed of three sub-pixels with one primary color (red, green, blue) each.

Notebook

Types of pixel errors

Type 1: pixel always lights (bright, white dot)

Type 2: pixel never lights (dark, black dot)

Type 3: abnormal or defective sub-pixel of the colors red, green or blue (lighting continuously, not lighting or blinking)

Classes of pixel errors

The number of errors for the above mentioned types in each error class refers to one million pixels and must be converted according to the physical display resolution. For example, for Active Matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (WXGA) rendered by three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), a total of almost 3 million control transistors are used. for example, consider a 15-inch WXGA display with 1280 horizontal and 800 vertical dots (pixels). This is

Notebook

1,024,000 pixels in total. Referring this figure to 1 million pixels, a factor of approx. 1.0 is obtained. Therefore, error class II permits three errors of type 1 or type 2 and seven errors of type 3.

Error class 1 only applies for special applications (e.g. medical) and implies higher costs. Error class II has become a standard for quality-orientated manufacturers with very good displays.

Windows Media Center – Initial Setup

The Windows Media Center features the central components to manage all multimedia contents on your computer. This fully-integrated with Windows XP media console allows you to watch video DVDs, listen to music from audio CDs or files on your hard disk, watch and record TV programmes, listen to radio and much more. The Media Center substitutes many individual programs and brings them all together in one user interface. In order for the Media Center to be fully operational, it must be configured only once upon its initial use. In this way, for example, your Internet connection can be verified and the available TV channels set up. This whole process only lasts a few minutes and is carried out with the help of a Wizard.

General Settings

A Invoke the Media Center with the Media Center icon in the

Main menu. The first time you start, the Setup Wizard will automatically show on screen. If the Media Center has already previously been invoked or the previous configuration has been cancelled, you may also start the initial configuration manually. To do this, in the Start-up screen of the Media Center select the option Settings, choose General from the list and select Media

Notebook

Center Setup. You can now start the initial setup process again by clicking Run Media Center Setup again.

B The Setup Wizard welcomes you. Click Next to proceed to the next window. This contains some general information. Click Next to continue. Next you will be notified of the personal data protection policy. If you wish you can display these by clicking Media Center Privacy Policy. Click Next to proceed to the next step. The Media Center periodically sends information to Microsoft in order to improve the program according to user requirements. If you would like to take part in this anonymous reporting, select the option Yes, I want to participate. If you do not wish reports to be sent to Microsoft, select No, I do not want to participate. Click Next to proceed to the next configuration.

C The Media Center can do more than merely playback CDs and DVDs. It also offers you the possibility to obtain additional information on each album or film. This could be, for example, a CD cover, background information of a film or a current TV programme. For this the Media Center needs an Internet connection. Your existing connection will be used for this – eg. by modem, DSL or router. You can enable or disable the requesting of this additional information with the Yes or No options.

Notebook

D If your computer is connected to a network via WLAN you can configure this connection in the next step. If you do not have a WLAN connection, you can simply skip this step. Even if you work with a WLAN you should select the option No. You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on how to configure a WLAN in the Network chapter of this manual. The Media Center can use this connection automatically. If you start the WLAN configuration at this point, the Media Center will overwrite the entire network configuration.

E This is especially useful when you want a permanent Internet connection. You can do this, for example, via a DSL modem with a flat rate connected to the computer or via a DSL router connection. If this is your case, select the option Yes in the following step. The Media Center will then regularly search the Internet for new additional information. If you work with a modem or ISDN connection you should select the option No. The regular use of dial-up Internet connection through the Media Center can incur high costs if you don't work with a flat rate. Next, you can verify your Internet connection by clicking the Test button. Click Next to proceed to the next window.

Optimizing the Screen Display

F After the channels have been found and saved, you are

automatically taken back to the configuration page. Here you can make further settings, such as optimizing the screen display or configuring the connected loudspeakers. Select Optimize Media Center display and click on the Next button. Click Watch Video to view a test film to verify the current settings. Click Next to proceed directly to the configuration.

Now select your monitor type – eg. normal CRT monitor, flat-screen or if necessary, TV or projector output. Now enter how this device is connected to the computer: eg., via VGA or DVI cable, or via the traditional video or S-Video cable.

G In the following step select the screen format. You can

choose between 16:9 and 4:3 screen formats. If your screen has another format, choose the most similar one. If your flat-screen works with the popular 16:10 format, for example, select the 16:9 option. The Media Center usually retains the currently selected resolution. You can though, if you prefer, select your own resolution for TV and film output. By clicking Yes you can keep the current resolution and by clicking No you can assign your own resolution. And finally you can now customize the picture display. Here you can adjust the brightness, contrast or RGB

Notebook

color balance. The screen configuration closes and you are taken back to the Main configuration page.

Setting Up Loudspeakers

H As a final step you can configure the loudspeakers of your computer. This is especially important if you are working with more than two stereo loudspeakers, i.e., a Surround Sound system. Select the option Speaker Setup on the Setup page. The first window contains only a little explanatory information. In the second window you must enter the number of loudspeakers you have. You can select between 2 Speakers and 5.1 Surround. In the next step, test your loudspeakers by clicking Test. If everything has worked well, you can continue by clicking the I have heard sound from all of my speakers option. If the loudspeakers have emitted no sound or you have not heard the test signal from each one, check the connectors and continue the test by clicking I haven't heard sound through all speakers. Click Finish to close the loudspeaker setup.

You have now completed all the steps in the initial

configuration of the Windows Media Center. The program is now fully configured and can be used directly. Click Done to confirm again and click Finish to close the Wizard. You will automatically be taken to the Main page of the Media Center.
