CHAPTER 3 – LEARNING THE BASICS

3 - 1

3 L E A R N I N G T H E B A S I C S This chapter provides important information about the basic features of the notebook. This chapter describes how to use standard features in the notebook for your daily activity.


3 - 2

Learning the Basics

In this section will be described how to use standard features in the notebook for your daily activity. If you are a beginner in computer and operating system, read the manual book of operating system and the mechanism on the notebook.

Using Operating System The operating system is a must ingredient in using your computer. It is the platform for all your software application programs to run on. The most popular operating system today is Microsoft® Windows®. If you have an operating system already installed in your computer, then you would be up and running after you power on your computer and boot up the system.

Using Keyboard

Your notebook is equipped with a standard keyboard that provides all the functionality of a full-sized 101 or 102-keys IBM keyboard. A side from the standard typewriter-layout keyboard of your notebook, there are a number of extra features and function controls on the built-in keyboard including Windows®

system hot keys.


3 - 3

Function Keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12 keys at the top of the keyboard.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they perform programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the notebook.

Keypad Description Fn + F2 Activated Display Fn + F3 Touchpad Switch Fn + F4 Brightness Down Fn + F5 Brightness Up Fn + F6 Web Cam Switch Fn + F7 Audio Volume Down Fn + F8 Audio Volume Up Fn + F9 Speaker Switch Fn + F11 Bluetooth/Wireless LAN Switch Fn + F12 Activated Sleep mode

Ctrl, Fn and Alt Keys

The Ctrl, Fn and Alt keys do different things depending on the program you are using. For more information, see your program documentation.

Windows® Special Keys

The keyboard provides two keys that have special functions in Windows®.

1. The Windows® logo key activates the Start menu.

Character Keys

Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a typewriter, except that:

1. The spacebar creates a space character instead of just passing over an area of the page.

2. The lowercase letter I and the number 1 are not interchangeable.

3. The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not interchangeable.


3 - 4

The Caps Lock keys shift the letter keys to upper case- the number and symbol keys are not affected. The Caps Lock LED on the keyboard indicator panel illuminates when you press the Caps Lock.

Cursor Control Keys

Keys Function Description Up Arrow Key Move the cursor up one line at a time.

Down Arrow Key Move the cursor down one line at a time.

Left Arrow Key Move the cursor to the left one space at a time.

Right Arrow Key Move the cursor to the right one space at a time.

Screen Control Keys

Keys Function Description Home Moves the cursor to the beginning of a screen or line.

PgUp Moves the cursor up one screen at a time.

PgDn Moves the cursor down one screen at a time.

End Moves the cursor to the end of a screen or line.

Numeric Keys

To turn the numeric keys on and off, press Fn + Num Lock keys simultaneously. The numeric mode light on the status panel glows when the numeric key is on (see “Device/Power Status Indicator” on page 1-5).

Using Touchpad This notebook comes with a built-in Glide Pad pointing device that is found on the center of the palm-rest surface.

Touchpad offers a number of options that let you customize how it functions. To access these options, locate the Control Panel and double click on the Mouse icon. The options let you control the size and color of the cursor, cursor speed; the accepted double-click speed, and selection button orientation.


3 - 5

1. Touchpad 2. Left button 3. Right button

The touchpad works a mouse pointing device replacement that is used under Windows®

- based operating system. You can use the standard Microsoft®

driver that is compatible with the touchpad device and is normally used under Windows®. -based operating system. However, if you want to utilize the added features of the touchpad, you may want to try installing its own device driver that comes with added utilities for enhancing the function of the device.

Here how to use the touchpad pointing device:

1. The rectangular surface acts like a miniature duplicate of your display screen. To move the mouse cursor, place the finger lightly on the sensor pad and move in the desired direction. If you reach the end of the pad, lift your finger and place it back down on the other side of the pad.

2. To select an item, click on the item by pressing the left button control or by simply tapping on the surface once. A light, quick tap always works best. To execute an item, click the left button twice or do a quick double tap on the surface.

3. To simulate holding the mouse button down (dragging an icon or selection), use the tap-and-drag gesture. This feels much like a double click, except that the finger remains on the pad after the second tap: Tap, lift, tap, hold and move. The simulated button remains held as long as the finger remains on the pad.

WARNING: Avoid spilling any liquid on the Glide pad surface and always keep the Glide pad surface and pointing finger dry from sweat built-up. Also do not expose Glide pad to any magnetic source object.


3 - 6

Display Devices Besides the built-in LCD, you can also use an external VGA monitor as your display device. A VGA monitor connects to the external monitor (VGA) port.

Switching Displays with Keyboard

You can switch display devices with the Fn + Display (F2) toggle. With the video driver installed, you also can use its built-in controls to switch the display options. If you have not installed the video driver, refer to Chapter 9 for setup instructions. To switch the display options:

Management Power Feature

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your notebook computer uses the ACPI power management system. Power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques and gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows®

XP®.

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.

documentation for more information on the Power Option utility.

Running the Notebook On Battery Power

The notebook uses a removable Lithium Ion (Li-ION) battery pack that provides power when you are away from an AC power source. You can recharge it many times.

Maximizing Battery Life

A main battery can be recharged many times. Gradually over time it will lose its ability to hold a charge. To maximize the life of your main battery:

1. Do not leave the notebook plugged in and unused for more than a few hours. Overcharging the main battery may shorten its life.


4 - 3

2. If you are not going to use to notebook for a long period of times, remove the battery.

3. Alternate between battery packs if you have a spare.

4. Make sure the notebook is off when you are replacing the battery.

5. Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Charging Batteries The battery need to be charged before you can use it to power the notebook. You can charge the battery using your notebook.

Charging the Main Battery

To charge the batteries while they are in your notebook, plug the notebook into a live AC outlet. It takes approximate 3 hours to charge each battery to full while the notebook is off. It takes much longer to charge a battery to full while the notebook is on.

The battery may not start charging immediately if:

1. The battery is extremely hot or cold.

To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity wait until it reaches room temperature: 5-35ºC (41ºF – 95ºF).

2. The battery is almost completely discharged.

Leave the power connected, and the battery should begin charging after few minutes.

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (and subsequently at least once every 30 days or after about 20 partial discharges) before using it.


4 - 4

Battery Power

What to Do When the Battery Runs Low

When the battery runs low you have these options:

1. Plug the notebook into a live AC outlet and recharge the battery.

2. Save your work and turn off the notebook.

If you don’t manage to do any of these things before the battery completely runs out of power, the notebook automatically enters Standby and keeps track of where you were so, when you turn on the power by using AC adapter again, you can continue where you left off.

Battery Life

Your notebook’s battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs you are running, and peripheral device attached. Power Option settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured appropriately.

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. Please consult your service representative should you need to remove the battery for any reason.

Discharging the Battery Completely

Use the notebook with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t turn off the notebook by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the battery critically low, just let the notebook use up all of the battery power and shut down on its own. Disable the Power Options function in the Control Panel, especially any Alarms (unclick the tick boxes) and Schemes (change all the settings to Never). As the battery nears the end of its life save and close any critical files.

Charging the Battery Fully

When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes from orange to green.


4 - 5

Maintaining the Battery

Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after about 20 partial discharges.

Conserving the Battery Power

The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so lowering the brightness level will save power. Different applications and external devices consume battery power even when they are not being used (see the sidebar note for further recommendations on battery conservation).

Disposing Of Used Batteries Safely You can recharge a main battery many times. It should last for years. When the useful life of the battery expires or if the battery becomes damaged, you must discard it responsibly.

Batteries should not be disposed of together with household waste.

Removing the Battery If you are confident in undertaking upgrade procedures yourself, for safety reasons it is best to remove the battery.

WARNING: Please check with your service representative before undertaking any upgrade procedures to find out if this will VOID your warranty.

Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:

The AC Power LED does not come on when you plug in the AC adapter and power cable.

Make sure the AC adapter and power cable are finely plugged into both a working wall putlet and the notebook.


7 - 3

If the AC power light still does not come on, check that the wall outlet is working properly by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

The AC adapter and power cable work correctly, but the battery will not charge

The battery does not charge while the notebook is consuming full power. Try turning off the notebook.

The main battery may not be inserted correctly in the notebook. Turn off the notebook, remove the battery clean the contacts with a soft dry clith (if necessary) and replace the battery.

The battery maybe too hot or too cold to charge properly. Its temperature need to be in the range 5º s/d 50º Centigrade. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach room temperature and try again.

If the battery has completely discharged, it will note begin charging immediately. Leave the AC adapter and power cable connected, wait 20 minutes and see whether the battery is charging.

If the battery light is glowing after 20 minutes, let the notebook continue charging the battery for at least another 20 minutes before you turn on the notebook.

If the battery light does not glow after 20 minutes, the battery may have reached the end of its useful life. Try replacing it.

The battery appears not to power the notebook for as long as it usually does

Check the power options using the Windows® Power Management utility. Have you add the device, such as a PC Card or memory module, that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the hard disk more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect how long the charge lasts.

Memory Module Problems

Incorrectly connected or faulty memory module may cause errors that seem to be device-related. So it is wortwhile checking for these first:

1. Click Start, then click shutdown.

2. Click the button next to Shut Down, then click OK.


7 - 4

The operating system will turn off the notebook automatically.

3. Remove the memory module.

4. Reinstall the memory module.

5. Check the error again.

6. If the error recurs remove the memory module entirely and check for the error again using the second or another module.

If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the module may be faulty. If the error occurs without the module installed, the module is not causing the error.

Keyboard Problems

If when you type strange things happen or nothing happens, the problem may be related to the keyboard itself.

You have connected an external keyboard and Windows® displays one or more keyboard error message.

If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first keyboard may be defective or incompatible with your notebook.

Display Problems

Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:

The screen does not look right

You can change the display settings by clicking a blank area of the desktop with the track point secondary button, then clicking Properties. This causes operating system to open the Display Properties dialog box. The Appearance tab of this dialog box allows you to choose the colors for the screen. The Settings tab allows you to choose the screen resolution.

The built-in screen flickers

Some flickering is a normal result of the way the screen produces colors. To reduce the amount of flickering, try using fewer colors.

To Change the number of colors displayed:

1. Point at the desktop and click with the secondary button.


7 - 5

2. Click Properties, and then Settings.

3. Change the colors option and click Ok.

For more information see Windows® Help.

Sound System Problems

You do not hear any sound from the notebook

Adjust the volume control.

If you are using headphone or speakers, check that they are securely connected to your notebook. In Setup, check that the sound function is enabled.

The notebook emits a loud, high-pitched noise

This is feedback between the microphone and speakers. It occurs in any sound system when input from a microphone is fed to the speakers and the speaker volume is too loud. Adjust the volume control.

Printer Problems

The printer can not be added to the system or will not work

The printer is not turned on, is not correctly connected to the notebook, or has an internal problem. Make sure the printer is on. Check all connections and cables and then try to reinstall the driver. You may refer to the printer’s manual for instructions on printing a “selftest” page (a “self-test” page will print regardless of computer connections and is a means of ensuring that the printer is actually working).

There is no paper in the printer, or the paper is incorrect for the settings designated in your software. Put more paper in the printer (also fan the paper to make sure it does not stick together and cause a paper jam) and check the paper size macthes your software’s “print” settings.


7 - 7

The printer driver is not installed or is configured incorrectly. Check that the printer is properly installed and configured (correct port etc) Also check that you have installed the latest driver compatible with you OS (upload drivers are usually available for download from the printer manufacture’s website).

The printer is a network printer and it is not properly connected to the network. All networks are configured differently so please check with your network administrator to get the correct setup

Viruses 1. 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 notebook viruses are discovered daily, and some of them may seriously harm your notebook and cause you to lose data. Anti-Virus programs are commercially available and the definitions file updates are usually download able directly from the internet.

2. 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 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.

3. Keep “Boot Floppy Disk” or “Bootable CD-ROM” (the disk provides basic information which allows you to startup your notebook) 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 instruction on how to make one).

Cleaning the Notebook When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution or use contents of any commercially available notebook cleaning kit.

Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the notebook. Also never spray any liquids directly on the notebook case, keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a soft , clean lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass.

Never apply liquids directly on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to clean the display screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.

Maintaning The Hard disk Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users must make it a habit of doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is some maintenace you could do:

1. Always back up your data files from your hard disk.

2. Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper your files.

3. use SCANDISK once in a while to correct any errors found in the directory and File Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused sectors

4. Never move or raise the notebook while the hard disk is being accessed, most especially don’t jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.

5. Use hard disk maintenance programs like Disk Defragmenter of Windows®. These reorganize your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation and improving your hard disk access time.

6. Install a system password in your notebook so others won’t be able to use the hard disk.

Maintaining The LCD Quality When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working session, the typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the display surface – no matter what type it is – and the components inside the notebook radiates heat, when you close the cover, you trap the heat againts the screen. Leave the notebook’s cover open for about ten minutes while the heat disperses. Make this habit.

You should also enable the power management of your notebook to turn off the LCD power and display when the system is in inactivity for some time. Adding screen savers is also acceptable.

Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your notebook.

Axioo applies International Standard ISO 13406 Class II to assure the quality of Axioo notebook LCD. ISO 13406-2 is an ISO standard to define the maximum pixel error which is still tolerable.

Definition of pixel is One LCD screen consists of arrays of pixels where the amount depends on the LCD resolution (Example: 1280 x 800 means consists of 1.024.000 pixel). Every pixel consists of three compositor sub-pixels which are Red, Green, and Blue.

Types of pixel error are categorized into Type 1 Pixel is always ON Type 2 Pixel is always OFF Type 3 Sub Pixel is ON or OFF Type 4/Cluster Sub Pixel is ON or OFF in a 5 x 5 pixel cluster

The number of pixel error which is still allowed can be calculated using the formula

The Number of Pixel Tolerance = (The number of pixel in resolution / 1.000.000) x Multiplier for each category.

The value of total Pixel Tolerance will be rounded up.

Following the ISO Standard 13406 Class II, the variable of multipliers for each category is defined as following

Type 1 = 2 x Type 2 = 2 x Type 3 = 5 x Type 4 = 2 x
