Warning

  1. Do not try to disassemble THE BATTERY PACK.
  2. Please follow your local laws and regulations to recycle the unused battery pack.

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

Notebook

Getting Started

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 ).

Basic Operations

If you are a beginner to the Notebook, please read the following tips to make yourself safe and comfortable during the operations.

Safety and Comfort Tips

The Notebook is a portable platform that allows you to work anywhere. However, choosing a good workspace is important if you have to work with your Notebook for long periods of time.

  • Your work area should have enough illumination.
  • Choose the proper desk and chair and adjust their height to fit your posture when operating.
  • When sitting on the chair and adjust the chair's back (if available) to support your back comfortably.
    Place you feet flat and naturally on the floor, so that your knees and elbows have the proper position (about 90-degree) when operating.
    Put your hands on the desk naturally to support your wrists.
  • Adjust the angle/position of the LCD panel, so that you can have the optimal view.
  • Avoid using your Notebook in the space where may cause your discomfort (such as on the bed).

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.

Diagram of a device with three labeled points (1, 2, 3) pointing to specific components on a screen-like surface.

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. Left Button

Acts as the mouse's left button.

3. Right Button

Acts as the mouse's right 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.

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.

Mouse Properties Buttons Pointers Pointer Options Wheel Hardware Button configuration Switch primary and secondary buttons Select this check box to make the button on the right the one you use for primary functions such as selecting and dragging. Double-click speed Double-click the folder to test your setting. If the folder does not open or close, try using a slower setting. Speed: Slow Fast ClickLock Turn on ClickLock Settings... Enables you to highlight or drag without holding down the mouse button. To set, briefly press the mouse button. To release, click the mouse button again OK Cancel Apply

Solution: Download the current version of Java Virtual Machine from java.sun.com.

Why does My Computer Show a Smaller Hard Disk Size than the Advertised Size, e.g. 111GB 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 100 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. 111 GB in units of 1024 for the computer.

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

Troubleshooting, First Aid and FAQ

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 15.4-inch WXGA display with 1280 horizontal and 800 vertical dots (pixels). This is 1,024,000 pixels in total. Referring this figure to 1 million pixels, a factor of approx.

Troubleshooting, First Aid and FAQ

1.02 is obtained. Therefore, error class II permits two errors of type 1 or type 2 and five 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.

Receive TV, Videotext and radio on your notebook

Your Targa-Notebook includes a TV card allowing you to receive TV programs, Videotext and radio stations. This is a special combo card capable of receiving analogue TV channels via cable or antenna as well as digital DVB-T TV stations. The operation is easy as the software interface is similar to a conventional TV set or radio receiver. Therefore, you will be able to operate most of the functions intuitively. Only a few steps are needed to start using them. The TV card has been supplied as a PCMCIA expansion card. Carefully insert the card into the PCMCIA slot on the right side of your notebook. The adapter for all cables and connections should show clearly out of the case.

How To Watch TV On The Notebook

Prior to being able to enjoy TV on your notebook you must connect the antenna or cable box and configure the channels. This presents no major problem, as most of the tasks are performed automatically by the software. The following step by step instructions will help you to get going within a few minutes.

First of all you should guarantee the signal reception. The necessary connectors can be found on the TV card, the so-called coaxial connectors. One connector is for receiving TV signals. Here you can connect an indoor antenna, an analogue cable box or an antenna for digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T). Even if you wish to connect a satellite receiver this presents no problem. All you need to do is to connect a coaxial cable from the receiver to the notebook. The other connector is for receiving radio broadcasting signals. Here you can connect the radio cable of an analogue cable box or the supplied wire antenna.

Once you have connected all the cables, you can start programming the channels. First of all launch the program PowerCinema by pressing the key next to the Power key or click on Start/All Programs/CyberLink PowerCinema 4.0/PowerCinema. From the first window, select TV by clicking with the mouse. You will probably not receive any program now, as the software still does not know the type of signal to be received. On the other hand, a channel search also needs to be performed first. To do this, click the Settings button.

CyberLink PowerCinema 27-07-2005 10:33:11 Extras Settings TV Movies Videos Music Live TV Recorded TV Schedule TV Preview Program Guide Find Program Settings

The Settings window opens. Select the TV Settings button. This will take you to the reception configuration dialog. Under TV Source, first select if you are going to receive the TV programs via a cable box or via antenna. Next go to Signal Type to specify if you want to receive analogue (cable box and antenna) or digital (DVB-T) stations. Once you have finished the configuration, confirm all the settings by clicking the Apply button. This will lead you back to the previous window.

Notebook

Receive TV, Videotext and radio on your notebook

After the basic configuration has been performed, you can proceed with setting up the stations. To do so, click the Channel Settings button. Here you can see a list of all available channels – which should be empty at the first setup. Here you only have to click the Search Channels button. The software will now start scanning the frequency band for available TV stations. This can take a moment, depending on the number of stations available in your region. Once the software has finished the channel search you have successfully finished the configuration. Click Apply to return to the previous window. Click the Back button to return to the program's main page.

The large window on the right shows you the running program; the control panel at the bottom allows you to control the playback. The operation is similar to a conventional TV set. Select the desired TV station with the arrow buttons to toggle to the next or to the previous station. Of course you can also operate these features from the supplied remote control. In this case, the operation does not differ from controlling a TV set. If you want to watch TV in full-screen mode, i.e. without any disturbing windows, controls, etc., just click the Live TV button. The bars on the top and bottom as well as the mouse cursor will automatically hide after a few seconds. As soon as you move the mouse or press a button, they will be displayed again. To exit the full-screen mode, click on the Back button at the top of the screen or press [Esc] on the keyboard.

Viewing Teletext (Videotext) On The Notebook

Once you have set up all the TV stations in PowerCinema and are watching a program, you can display the Videotext or Teletext of this station. The software already includes all the necessary components to view it with just a click of your mouse.

First select a TV channel from which you want to view the Teletext broadcast. You can do this as usual, by pressing the plus or minus buttons on the remote control or in the software. On the control panel at the bottom of the screen you'll find a button labeled [T]. Click this icon once to show the Videotext associated with the TV station. Alternatively you can also press the Teletext button on the remote control.

TeleText

Navigating the Teletext contents is very easy and does not differ from navigating any conventional windows. You can access a desired Teletext page by entering its number through the number keys. It is not necessary to confirm your entry: you need only type three digits. And of course you can also use the remote control for it. Enter the desired Teletext page number through the number keys. To exit Teletext click [T] once again with the mouse or press the Teletext button on the remote control.

Receiving And Recording Radio Stations On The Notebook

Besides receiving TV and Teletext your notebook can also tune into radio stations. In this case, it offers you the comfort of a conventional radio receiver. Prior to being able to receive radio broadcasts with your notebook, you have to guarantee a good signal reception. The easiest way to do this is by using a cable box. A cable box features a coaxial radio output connector next to the TV connector. You can connect it directly to the radio connector on the TV card of your notebook. If you don't have a cable box or if you don't wish to install an extra cable to your notebook, you can also use the supplied indoor (wire) antenna. Simply connect it to the radio connector and you can start listening to the radio broadcasts.

The reception of radio stations can also be controlled via the PowerCinema software. Launch it from the menu under Start/All Programs/CyberLink PowerCinema 4.0/PowerCinema. From the program's main menu, select the Radio option. From here you can select a station, store a station to the preset memory or record music. The operation is similar to controlling a conventional radio tuner or tape deck.

CyberLink PowerCinema 27-07-2005 10:39:22 Videos Music Pictures Radio Extras Settings

First of all you should perform the basic configuration for tuning in radio stations. To do so, click the Settings button. A new window showing the different options opens. Click the Scan channels button to have the program search for available radio stations. This works in the same way as scanning the channels on a conventional tuner and can take a moment. All found stations will be stored in a list. Next you should select the recording format for recording radio programs. To do so, click the Recording format button. You can select the recording quality from 32-128 Kbit/s. The higher the quality, the more storage space is needed on your hard disk. Directly below this option, specify where to save your recordings. By default the program selects the Radio Recording subfolder located in the My Documents/My Music folder. If you prefer to save them in a different folder, click the Recording Target and select a different folder. Once you have finished all the settings, click Apply to return to the radio tuner main window.
