NOTE
The information in this manual is subject to change without notice.
Most screens and operating instructions in this manual are based on

ENERGY STARยฎ is a government program that offers businesses and
consumers energy-efficient solutions, making it easy to save money while
protecting the environment for future generations.
Please reference ENERGY STAR ยฎ related information
from www.energystar.gov.
As an ENERGY STARยฎ Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has
determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR ยฎ guidelines for
energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STARยฎ qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than
computers without enabled power management features.
Earning the E SNERGY TARยฎ
z When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the
ENERGY STARยฎ, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of
greenhouse gases out of the air.
z If left inactive, ENERGY STARยฎ qualified computers enter a low-power
mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power
management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than
even just a few years ago.
z Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves
energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
z Businesses that use ENERGY STARยฎ enabled office equipment may
realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
z Over its lifetime, ENERGY STARยฎ qualified equipment in a single home
office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough
electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.
z Power management (โ€œsleep settingsโ€) on computers and monitors can
result in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power
management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way
to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower
consumersโ€™ utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.

Chapter 2
Operating Your
Computer
This chapter provides information about the use of the computer.
If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the
operating basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read
only the parts containing information unique to your computer.
CAUTION:
z Do not expose your skin to the computer when operating it in a very
hot or cold environment.
z The computer can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high
temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not
place the computer on your lap or touch it with your bare hands for
extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort
and potentially a burn.
2-2 Operating Your Computer
Using the Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus an Fn key added for specific functions.
The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:
z Typewriter keys
z Cursor-control keys
z Numeric keys
z Function keys
Typewriter Keys
Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. When the
lock keys (Caps Lock and Num Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators
light up.
The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with
other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually
used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a
command. The function depends on the program you are using.
Cursor-Control Keys
Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.
NOTE: The word โ€œcursorโ€ refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you
know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can
take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other
shapes.
Operating Your Computer 2-3
Numeric Keypad
Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num
Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you can use these keys
to enter numerals.
When Num Lock is off, the keys serve as cursor-control keys.
2-4 Operating Your Computer
Function Keys
On the top row of the keys are the function keys: F1 to F12. Function keys
are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual
programs.
Fn Key
The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another
key to perform the alternative function of a key. The letter โ€œFnโ€ and the
alternative functions are identified by the color of blue on the keytop. To
perform a desired function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key.
Hot Keys
Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to
activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic
way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the corresponding
function to the other or next choice.
You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the keytop.
The hot keys are described next.
Key Description
Switches the keyboard backlight off or on for
keyboards with backlight.

NOTE:
z Display resolution remains unchanged when you
switch the display output using this hot key
combination.
z This hot key combination does not function during
the playback of DVD or MPEG files by certain
applications.
z This hot key combination does not function in full
screen DOS mode.
Serves as the sleep button that you can define with
Windowsโ€™ Power Options. (See the โ€œPower
Managementโ€ in Chapter 3.)
NOTE:
z If you have changed your system from the default ACPI mode to APM
mode, the hot keys Fn+F3 Fn+F4, , and Fn+F10 will not be supported.
2-6 Operating Your Computer
z The operating system might ignore the hot keys when busy with tasks.
Do not keep on pressing the hot keys under such circumstance. Wait for
a while before you try again.
Windows Keys
The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions:
Windows Logo key and Application key.
The Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs
software-specific functions when used in combination with other keys. The
Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse click. (See
your Windows manual for more information.)
Operating Your Computer 2-7
Using the Touchpad
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing
so may damage the touchpad surface.
NOTE: For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the
pads clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use
excessive force.
The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the
computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and
making selection with the buttons.
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and
right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the
pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As
you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the
screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad,
2-8 Operating Your Computer
simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side
of the pad.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the
touchpad:
Term Action
Point Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to
the selection on the screen.
Click Press and release the left button.
โ€“orโ€“
Tap gently anywhere on the pad.
Double-click Press and release the left button twice in quick
succession.
โ€“orโ€“
Tap twice on the pad rapidly.
Drag and
drop
Press and hold the left button, then move your finger
until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release
the button (drop) when you finish dragging your
selection to the destination. The object will drop into
the new location.
โ€“orโ€“
Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap,
keep your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move
your finger across the pad to drag the selected object to
your destination. When you lift your finger from the
pad, the selected object will drop into place.
Operating Your Computer 2-9
Term Action
Scroll To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the
working area on the screen.
To move vertically, place your finger on the right or left
edge of the pad and slide your finger up and down
along the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger
on the top or bottom edge of the pad and slide your
finger left and right.
This function works only after you install the touchpad
driver supplied with the computer and configure the
touchpad to enable the function. It may not work for all
applications.
TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, โ€œtappingโ€ on the
touchpad
as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer
be valid.

Managing Power 3-1
Chapter 3
Managing Power
Your computer operates either on external AC power or on internal battery
power.
This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain
optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the
proper way.
Managing Power 3-3
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are
using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you
will experience a shorter operating time.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the
โ€œBattery Pack Guidelinesโ€ section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
z Charging will not start if the batteryโ€™s temperature is below 0 ยฐ ยฐC (32 F)
or above 40 ยฐC (104 ยฐF); the charging process will stop if the batteryโ€™s
temperature gets above 60 ยฐC (140 ยฐF). To avoid damaging the battery
under this situation, disconnect the AC adapter and wait for the battery
to return to room temperature before charging again.
z During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery
has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged
battery.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the computer glows
amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the
computer power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is
fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator lights green.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack when
the computer is off, and approximately 7 hours to fully charge the battery
pack when the computer is on.
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not
immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again.
Doing so may damage the battery.
3-4 Managing Power
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100
%). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer.
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It
can take several hours.
A tool called โ€œGauge Resetโ€ is provided for the purpose. See โ€œGauge Resetโ€
in Chapter 6 for information on using the tool.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual
operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on
how you are using the computer.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click
the battery icon ( when running on battery power or when running
on external power) on the taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the
estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the
computer and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the
switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator
segment that light green.
Managing Power 3-5
The value of the corresponding green segment indicates the relative
percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when
you see no segment glowing green.
Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION:
z There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace the battery only with the computer manufacturerโ€™s optional
battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealerโ€™s
instructions.
z Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling,
you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your
dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter.
2. Locate the battery pack on the right side of your computer. Slide the
latch toward the right to unlock ( ) and then push down the latch to
release the cover.

When the battery is low, the computerโ€™s Battery Charge Indicator ( ) also
blinks red to alert you to take actions.
Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your
computer in Hibernation mode, or turning off the computer.
Managing Power 3-7
Power Management
Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows
you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, power supply to
different computer components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This
allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time.
In general, Windowsโ€™ power management works in this way:
What... When...
Power to the hard disk is turned
off
When the hard disk has been idle for a
set period.
Power to the display is turned off When the display has been idle for a
set period.
The computer enters the Sleep
mode. The hard disk and display
are turned off and the entire
system consumes less power.
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the mode.
The computer enters the
Hibernation mode. (See the next
subsection for more information.)
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the mode.
For detailed information on power management, see Windowsโ€™ Help.
3-8 Managing Power
Hibernation
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many
applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these
applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed
before the computer can be turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the
applications. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the
hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your computer,
you return to exactly where you left off.

firmware, that translates instructions from other layers of software into
instructions that the computer hardware can understand. The BIOS settings
are needed by your computer to identify the types of installed devices and
establish special features.
System Recovery reinstalls Windows to your system and configures it to the
systemโ€™s factory default settings.
This chapter tells you how to use the BIOS Setup and System Recovery.
