6. Put the notebook in its carrying bag and secure it with the bag's straps.
7. If you're taking any peripherals (e.g. a printer, mouse or digital camera), pack them and those devices' adapters and/or cables.
8. Anticipate customs - Some jurisdictions may have import restrictions or require proof of ownership for both hardware and software. Make sure your documents are prepared.

Power Off Before Traveling

Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) to be blocked. To prevent your computer from overheating make sure nothing blocks the vent(s)/fan intake(s)/outlet(s) while the computer is in use.

Preface

On the Road

In addition to the general safety and maintenance suggestions in this preface, and Chapter 8: Troubleshooting, keep these points in mind:

Hand-carry the notebook - For security, don't let it out of your sight. In some areas, computer theft is very common. Don't check it with normal luggage. Baggage handlers may not be sufficiently careful. Avoid knocking the computer against hard objects.

Beware of Electromagnetic fields - Devices such as metal detectors & X-ray machines can damage the computer, hard disk, floppy disks, and other media. They may also destroy any stored data - Pass your computer and disks around the devices. Ask security officials to hand-inspect them (you may be asked to turn it on). Note: Some airports also scan luggage with these devices.

Fly safely - Most airlines have regulations about the use of computers and other electronic devices in flight. These restrictions are for your safety, follow them. If you stow the notebook in an overhead compartment, make sure it's secure. Contents may shift and/or fall out when the compartment is opened.

Get power where you can - If an electrical outlet is available, use the AC/DC adapter and keep your battery(ies) charged.

Keep it dry - If you move quickly from a cold to a warm location, water vapor can condense inside the computer. Wait a few minutes before turning it on so that any moisture can evaporate.

Preface

Developing Good Work Habits

Developing good work habits is important if you need to work in front of the computer for long periods of time. Improper work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. The following are some tips to reduce the strain:

Line drawing of a woman sitting at a desk using a laptop (no text or symbols)

- Adjust the height of the chair and/or desk so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed position.

- Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if necessary.

- Use a chair with a back and adjust it to support your lower back comfortably.

- Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90-degree angles when you are working.

• Take periodic breaks if you are using the computer for long periods of time.

Remember to:

• Alter your posture frequently.

- Stretch and exercise your body several times a day.

• Take periodic breaks when you work at the computer for long periods of time. Frequent and short breaks are better than fewer and longer breaks.

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.
• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.
• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.
• Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.

LCD Screen Care

To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

• Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idle time.
• Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long).
• Rotate desktop background images every few days.
• Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.

LCD Electro-Plated Logos

Note that in computers featuring a raised LCD electro-plated logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate over time and the exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other items in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.

Chapter 3: Power Management

Overview

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. This chapter covers:

• The Power Sources
• Turning On the Computer
- Power Plans
• Power-Saving States
- Configuring the Power Buttons
• Energy Star Power Saving
- Battery Information

OS Note

Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the user's manual of your operating system.

The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications.

Power Management

Silent Mode

Use the Key to toggle Silent Mode to reduce fan noise and save power consumption. Note this may reduce computer performance.

The Power Sources

The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.

AC/DC Adapter

Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.

1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack on the left of the computer.
2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter.
3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.
4. Press the power button to turn "On".

Battery

The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge completely before recharging (see "How do I completely discharge the battery?" on page 3 - 15).

We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the battery, please refer to "Energy Star Power Saving" on page 3 - 10.

3 - 2 The Power Sources

Power Management

Turning On the Computer

Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the power button on the front panel.

When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Stand by/Hibernate/Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options in the Windows control panel to configure this feature.

Shut Down

Note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the Shut Down command from the bottom right of the Start menu in Windows. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems.

Default Program Help and Suppo Shut down Switch user Log off Lock Restart Sleep Hibernate

Forced Off

If the system "hangs", and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn't work, press the power button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.

Power Button as Stand by or Hibernate Button

You can use the OS's "Power Options" control panel to set the power button to send the system into Stand by or Hibernate mode (see your OS's documentation, or "Configuring the Power Buttons" on page 3 - 8 for details).

Power Management

Resuming Operation

See Table 3 - 1, on page 3 - 9 for information on how to resume from a power-saving state.

Password

It is recommended that you enable a password on system resume in order to protect your data.

Figure 3 - 1 Power Plan Advanced Settings

Power Plans

The computer can be configured to conserve power by means of power plans. You can use (or modify) an existing power plan, or create a new one.

Power Management

Power-Saving States

You can use power-saving states to stop the computer's operation and restart where you left off. Win 7 uses the Sleep, Hibernate and Shut Down power-saving states.

Sleep

In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before the system sleeps. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep to save power.

The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used.

If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only a minimum amount of power. After an extended period the system will save all the information to the hard disk and shut the computer down before the battery becomes depleted.

Power Management

Hibernate

Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost. Hibernate will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should put your mobile PC into Hibernate if you will not use the computer for a period of time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery.

Shut down

You should Shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware (don't forget to remove the battery and follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 6), plan to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from Shut down takes longer than from Sleep or Hibernate.

Default Program Help and Suppo Shut down Switch user Log off Lock Restart Sleep Hibernate

Silent Mode

You can use Silent Mode to reduce power consumption and fan noise.

Use the Silent Mode hot key Mto toggle this mode on/off.

On screen visual indicators will display the Silent Mode status (see Table 1 - 3, on page 1 - 10).

Note Silent Mode may reduce computer performance.

Chapter 4: Drivers & Utilities

This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utilities essential to the operation or improvement of some of the computer's subsystems. The system takes advantage of some newer hardware components for which the latest versions of most available operating systems haven't built in drivers and utilities. Thus, some of the system components won't be auto-configured with an appropriate driver or utility during operating system installation. Instead, you need to manually install some system-required drivers and utilities.

What to Install

The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation of the computer.

Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer's built-in software:

If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes to the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first and note the original settings found in Setup. Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the settings you find and any changes you make. This information could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.

There is one general rule: Don't make any changes unless you are sure of what you are doing. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, consult your service representative.

BIOS Screens

Note that the BIOS screens pictured on these pages are intended for guidance in setting up your system's BIOS.

BIOS versions are subject to constant change and revision, therefore your computer's actual screens may appear slightly different from those pictured on these pages.

BIOS Utilities

BIOS Settings Warning

Incorrect settings can cause your system to malfunction. To correct mistakes, return to Setup and restore the Previous Values with , or Optimized Defaults with .

The Setup Utility

Each time you turn on the computer the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST, including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory).

As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there is a problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary and prompt you to run Setup.

If there are no problems, the Setup prompt will disappear and the system will load the operating system. Once that starts, you can't get into Setup without rebooting.

The Aptio Setup Utility tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).

To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 (give the system a few seconds to enter Setup). If the Boot Logo is enabled the F2 on screen will be highlighted to illustrate that the system is processing the request during the POST (or press F7 for boot options). If you get a “Keyboard Error”, (usually because you pressed F2 too quickly) just press F2 again.

If the computer is already on, reboot using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and then hold down F2 when prompted. The Setup main menu will appear.

To see the boot options press F7 and choose your preferred boot device.

Failing the POST

Errors can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, “fatal” and “non-fatal”.

Fatal Errors

These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously wrong with your system. Take the computer to your service representative or authorized service center as soon as possible.

Non-Fatal Errors

This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the problem (make a note of this message!) and you can then press F7 (the F7 on screen will be highlighted to illustrate that the system is processing the request) for boot options.

Press F2 (give the system a few seconds to enter Setup; the F2 on screen will be highlighted to illustrate that the system is processing the request) to run the Setup program and try to correct the problem. If you still get an error message after you change the setting, or if the “cure” seems even worse, call for help.

Camera Application

The camera application is a video viewer for general purpose video viewing and testing, and for capturing video files to .avi format.

1. Run the camera application from the desktop shortcut (it is recommended that you set the capture file before the capture process - see "Set Capture File" on page 7 - 6).
2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check "PC Camera Audio Setup" on page 7 - 4) and select Start Capture.
3. Click OK/Yes (the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can view the file using the Windows Media Player).

Set Capture File

Prior to capturing video files you may select the Set Capture File... option in the File menu, and set the file name and location before capture (this will help avoid accidentally overwriting files). Set the name and location then click Open, then set the "Capture file size:" and click OK. You can then start the capture process as on the previous page.

Note the important information in reducing video file size below in order to save file space, and help prevent system problems.

Modules & Options

Reducing Video File Size

Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space for each file. After recording video, check the video file size (right-click the file and select Properties) and the remaining free space on your hard disk (go to My Computer, right-click the hard disk, and select Properties). If necessary you can remove the recorded video file to a removable medium e.g. CD, DVD or USB Flash drive.

Note that the Windows 7 system requires a minimum of 15GB of free space on the C: drive system partition. In order to prevent system problems it is recommended that you save the captured video file to a location other than the C: drive (see set capture file above), limit the file size of the captured video (see “Pre-Allocating File Size/Space” on page 7 - 6) or reduce video resolution (see below).

To Reduce Video Resolution Output Size:

1. Run the camera application program from the desktop shortcut.
2. Go to Options and scroll down to select Video Capture Pin....
3. Click the Output Size drop box and select a lower resolution size in order to reduce the captured file size.
4. Click OK.

Trusted Platform Module

The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a system administrator before users can access security features.

Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader.

Make sure you have administrator's rights to your computer, and have a Windows password enabled for full security protection. In addition Make sure you prepare a removable media (e.g. a USB flash drive) to store passwords etc. before beginning the TPM initialization process.

Before setting up the TPM functions you must initialize the security platform.

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Overview

Should you have any problems with your computer, before consulting your service representative, you may want to try to solve the problem yourself. This chapter lists some common problems and their possible solutions. This can't anticipate every problem, but you should check here before you panic. If you don't find the answer in these pages, make sure you have followed the instructions carefully and observed the safety precautions in the preface. If all else fails, talk to your service representative. You should also make a record of what happened and what remedies you tried.

Of course, if something goes wrong, it will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, so you should preview this section just in case. If, after you've tried everything, and the system still won't cooperate, try turning it off for a few minutes and then rebooting. You will lose any unsaved data, but it may start working again. Then call your service representative.

Troubleshooting

Basic Hints and Tips

Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer appears not to be working.

• Power - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a power strip, make sure it is actually working. Check the LED Power & Communication Indicators (see “LED Indicators” on page 1 - 7) to see the computer’s power status.
• Connections - Check all the cables to make sure that there are no loose connections anywhere.
• Power Savings - Make sure that the system is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode by pressing the keys configured in your Power Options (see “Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 6), the Fn + F4 key combination, or power button to wake-up the system.
• Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn + F8 and F9 keys to adjust the brightness.
• Display Choice - Press Fn + F7 to make sure the system is not set to “external only” display.
• Boot Drive - Make sure there are no optical media and/or USB storage devices in any connected drive (this is a common cause of the message “Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and then press any key” / “Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”).

8 - 2 Basic Hints and Tips

Troubleshooting

Backup and General Maintenance

• Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and programs safe, but close to hand. Don't forget to note the serial numbers if you are storing them out of their original cases, e.g. in a CD wallet.
• Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule these programs to run at times when you are not using your computer. You can use those that are provided free with your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so.
• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your computer). This is especially important if you choose to use a Supervisor password for the BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 13).
• Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings, mail settings etc.(even if just brief notes).

Warranty

The CPU is not a user serviceable part. Opening this compartment, or accessing the CPU in any way, may violate your warranty.

Troubleshooting

Viruses

• Install an Anti-Virus program and keep the definitions file (the file which tells your program which viruses to look for) up to date. New computer viruses are discovered daily, and some of them may seriously harm your computer and cause you to lose data. Anti-Virus programs are commercially available and the definitions file updates are usually downloadable directly from the internet.
• Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you don't know. Viruses are often triggered from within e-mail attachments so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most Anti-Virus programs to check all e-mail attachments. Note: You should also beware of files from people you know as the virus may have infected an address book and been automatically forwarded without the person's knowledge.
• Keep a “Bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/USB storage device” (this CD/DVD/USB device provides basic information which allows you to startup your computer) handy. You may refer to your OS’s documentation for instructions on how to make one, and many Anti-Virus programs will also provide such a disk (or at least instructions on how to make one).

Troubleshooting

Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software

• Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what you are doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system.
• Don't open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable with what you are doing.
• Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the computer's manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many problems are caused by the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the documentation of any new hardware and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled “READ ME” or “READ ME FIRST”.
• When installing a new device always make sure the device is powered on, and in many cases you will need to restart the computer. Always check that all the cables are correctly connected.
• Make sure you have installed the drivers for any new hardware you have installed (latest driver files are usually available to download from vendor's websites).

Troubleshooting

• Thoroughly check any recent changes you made to your system as these changes may affect one or more system components, or software programs. If possible, go back and undo the change you just made and see if the problem still occurs.
• Don't over complicate things. The less you have to deal with then the easier the source of the problem may be found; Example - if your computer has many devices plugged into its ports, and a number of programs running, then it will be difficult to determine the cause of a problem. Try disconnecting all of the devices and restarting the computer with all the peripheral devices unplugged. A process of elimination (adding and removing devices and restarting where necessary) will often find the source of a problem, although this may be time consuming.

Problems and Possible Solutions

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
You turned on the power but it doesn't work.	Battery missing / incorrectly installed. Check the battery bay, make sure the battery is present and seated properly (the design of the battery only allows it to go in one way). Make sure there's nothing interfering with the battery contacts.
The battery LED power indicator , blinking orange.	Lisw Battery. Plug in the power source. If the computer doesn't start up immediately, turn it off then on again.
You are losing battery power too quickly.	The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Plans scheme (see “Power Plans” on page 3 - 4) check its settings. You may also be using a USB device/external device that is drawing a lot of power.
Actual battery operating time is shorter than expected.	The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fully discharged and recharge it completely before reusing (see “Battery” on page 3 - 2).Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-enable the options.A peripheral device/USB device/ExpressCard is consuming a lot of power. Turn off/remove the unused device to save power.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The computer feels too hot.	Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the Vent/Fan intakes are not blocked. If this doesn’t cool it down, put the system intoHibernatemode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure the computer isn’t sitting on a thermal surface (see “Overheating” on page 1 - 14). Make sure you’re using the correct adapter.Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vent/Fan intakes to be blocked.
Nothing appears on screen.	The system is in a power saving mode. Toggle the sleep/resume key combination, Fn + F4 (see “Configuring the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 8).The screen controls need to be adjusted. Toggle the screen control key combinations Fn + F8/F9. If you’re connected to an external monitor, make sure it’s plugged in and turned on. You should also check the monitor’s own brightness and contrast controls.The computer is set for a different display. Toggle the screen display key combination, Fn + F7. If an external monitor is connected, turn it on.The screen saveris activated. Press any key or touch the TouchPad.
No image appears on the external monitor I have plugged in and powered on.	You haven’t installed the video driver and configured it appropriately from the Control Panel. SeeAppendix Bfor instructions on installing and configuring the video driver.

The CD/DVDCannot be read.	The CD/DVD is dirty. Clean it with a CD/DVD cleaner kit.
The CD/DVDtray will not openwhen there is a disc in the tray.	The CD/DVD is not correctly placed in the tray. Gently try to remove the disc using the eject hole (see“Loading Discs”on page 2 - 3).
TheDVD regional codescan no longerbe changed.	The code has been changed the maximum 5 times. See“DVD Regional Codes”on page 2 - 5.
Unwelcomenumbersappear whentyping.	If the LEDis lit, then Num Lock is turnedON.(see“LED Indicators”onpage 1 - 7).

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
Other KeyboardsIf your keyboard is damaged or you just want to make a change, you can use any standard USB keyboard. The system will detect and enable it automatically. However special functions/hot keys unique to the system's regular keyboard may not work.
The system freezes or the screen goes dark.	The system's power saving features have timed-out. Use the AC/DC adapter, press the sleep (Fn + F4) key combination, or press the power button if no LEDs are lit.
The system never goes into a power saving mode.	Power Options features are not enabled. Go to the Windows Power Options menu and enable the features you prefer (see “Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 6). Make sure you have enabled Hibernate mode from the control panel.
The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth/3.75G modules cannot be detected.	The modules are off. Check the LED indicator (1) and/or function key indicator to see if the WLAN/Bluetooth/3.75G/HSPA module is on or off (see “LED Indicators” on page 1 - 7). If the LED indicator is off, then press the Fn + F11 (WLAN), Fn + F12 (Bluetooth) or Fn + (3.75G) key combination(s) in order to enable the modules (see “Function/Hot Key Indicators” on page 1 - 10).

8 - 10 Problems and Possible Solutions

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
The PC Camera module cannot be detected.	The module is off. Press the Fn + F10 key combination in order to enable the module (see “Function/Hot Key Indicators” on page 1 - 10). Run the BisonCap program to view the camera picture.
The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth/ PC Camera/3.75G/HSPA modules cannot be configured.	The driver(s) for the module(s) have not been installed. Make sure you have installed the driver for the appropriate module (see the instructions for the appropriate module in “Modules & Options” on page 7 - 1).
A file cannot be copied to/from a connected Bluetooth device.	The transfer of data between the computer and a Bluetooth enabled device is supported in one direction only (simultaneous data transfer is not supported). If you are copying a file from your computer to a Bluetooth enabled device, you will not be able to copy a file from the Bluetooth enabled device to your computer until the file transfer process from the computer has been completed
The Bluetooth module is off after resuming from Sleep.	The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the Sleep power-saving state. Use the key combination (Fn + F12) to power on the Bluetooth module after the computer resumes from Sleep.
The computer is off (or in Sleep Mode) but powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged into a working outlet, or by battery with a capacity above 20%. I have plugged a device into the powered USB port in order to charge it, but the device is not charging.	The port is not powered on. Toggle power to the port using the Fn + power button combination.This function may not work with certain external USB compliant devices (check your device’s documentation). If this is the case, power the computer on and connect the external USB device in order to charge it.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution
A yellow exclamation mark appears alongside PCI Simple Communications Controller (Other Devices) in Device Manager.	The IRST driver will fix this known issue. Install the IRST driver (see “IRST Driver” on page 7 - 87).
I cannot obtain high speed Bluetooth data transfer.	To obtain high speed Bluetooth data transfer take into account the following:Only the combination Wireless LAN & V3.0 Bluetooth module supports high speed (V3.0) data transfer.To achieve high speed transfer speeds, both devices must support high speed data transfer (i.e both the computer and the Bluetooth compatible device you are connecting to).To obtain high speed (V3.0) data transfer make sure that both the computer’s WLAN and Bluetooth modules are powered on (use the Fn + F11 to toggle power to the WLAN module and Fn + F12 to toggle power to the Bluetooth module).Check your Bluetooth compatible device’s documentation to confirm it supports high speed data transfer, and for configuration information.Make sure that Enable high speed mode support in General Settings in My Bluetooth Settings is enabled if you wish to use high speed data transfer (see Figure 7 - 28 on page 7 - 42).

Interface (Ports & Jacks)

Item Description

USB 2.0/1.1 PortsUSB 3.0 Port

These USB 2.0 compatible ports (USB 2.0 is fully USB 1.1 compliant) are for low-speed peripherals such as keyboards, mice or scanners, and for high-speed peripherals such as external HDDs, digital video cameras or high-speed scanners etc. Devices can be plugged into the computer, and unplugged from the computer, without the need to turn the system off (if the power rating of your USB device is 500mA or above, make sure you use the power supply which comes with the device).The USB 3.0 ports are denoted by their blue color; USB 2.0 ports are colored black. USB 3.0 will transfer data much faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0.Note that the USB 3.0 port requires a driver installation (see “USB 3.0” on page 4 - 7), does not support wake on USB and is not operational under DOS.*Note: The powered USB 2.0 port (see “System Map: Right & Rear Views” on page 1 - 12) may be toggled on /off by means of the Fn + Power Button key combination. When the powered USB port is on it will supply power when the system is off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged into a working outlet, or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20% (this may not work with certain devices - see page 8 - 11).
