FlashStart Automatic Power-On A noticeably unique feature about this notebook is that it has no on/off switch. Instead it employs a lid switch, located near the center of the display hinge, that tells the notebook when it should wake up or go to sleep. Lid Switch Figure 2-1 Display When you close the display lid, the notebook enters suspend-to-memory or suspend-to-disk mode before turning off the power, depending on the When Lid is Closed parameter setting in Setup (see section 6.5.1).
The “Lid Closed” State When the lid is closed (i.e., the “lid closed” state), the notebook suspends its normally busy tasks to make itself electronically and mechanically more stable. When the lid is opened, the notebook briefly checks its environment and always re-initializes devices newly added in or removed from the notebook. Though the notebook allows for various hot insertion of peripherals, the “lid closed” state provides the most stable and practical means to attach and detach peripheral components.
2.3 Indicator Lights Two indicator lights are found on the display panel. Power Indicator Battery Indicator Figure 2-2 Indicator Lights These indicators and their descriptions are shown in Table 2-1.
2.4 Keyboard The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows 95 keys and twelve function keys. Special keys are highlighted in different colors. 2.4.
2.4.2 Special Keys Lock Keys The notebook has the three basic lock keys which you can toggle on and off. as part of a key combination. Some keys may require using Table 2-2 Key # - Lock Key Descriptions Description When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetical characters typed appear in uppercase. When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a numeric keypad like the one found on standard PC keyboards (complete with arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /).
Embedded Keypad The embedded keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, the cursor-control key symbols are not printed. Table 2-3 tells how to use the embedded keypad.
Windows 95 Keys The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows 95-specific functions. Table 2-4 Windows 95 Key Descriptions Key Description Windows logo key Start button. Combinations with this key performs special functions.

Chapter 3 Power The notebook operates on AC or battery power. This chapter contains the information you need to know to operate the notebook on battery power. The chapter also includes information about the unique power management system.
3.1 Battery Power The notebook uses a single high-capacity Lithium-Ion smart battery pack that gives you longer use between charges. 3.1.1 Battery Pack Characteristics The battery pack has the following characteristics: • • • Lithium-Ion Technology Lithium-Ion technology does not have the memory effect problem of Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) nor the temperature problem of Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery types. Li-Ion batteries consistently provide the longest battery life best-suited for road warriors.
Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack. 3.1.2 Removing and Installing the Battery Pack Removing the Battery Pack Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to the notebook; otherwise turn off the notebook. The following figure illustrates how to remove the battery pack. 1. Press the battery compartment cover latch and slide it out. 2. Pull out the battery pack.
3.1.3 Charging the Battery To charge the battery, place the battery pack inside the battery compartment and plug the AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet. Charging Modes The adapter has three charging modes: • Rapid charge mode The notebook uses rapid charging when the notebook is in suspend mode and a powered AC adapter is connected to it. In rapid mode, a fully depleted battery gets fully charged in approximately two hours.
3.1.4 Checking the Battery Level There are three ways to check the battery charge level: • Onscreen fuel gauge • Windows 95 battery indicator • Battery pack gauge The fuel gauge shows the minimum guaranteed capacity to provide assurance that the system will be operational for the minimum battery life indicated. Using the Onscreen Fuel Gauge -T. If a powered AC adapter To access the onscreen fuel gauge, press is connected to the notebook, a plug icon also shows in the onscreen fuel gauge.
Using the Battery Pack Gauge The battery pack gauge allows you to check your battery charge level even when it is not installed in the notebook. Press the fuel gauge button on the battery pack to check the battery charge level. Table 3-1 is a battery-level chart.
3.1.5 Optimizing Battery Life Optimizing battery life prolongs the charge/recharge cycle and improves recharge efficiency.

Resume work. If you want the battery to recharge faster, close the display or press -_ ( ) to enter suspend mode. An extra fully-charged battery pack available 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
3.2 Power Management At the very heart of this notebook is a new way of power management called Heuristic Power Management (HPM). Part of the notebook’s overall design, this power management method allows the notebook to provide maximum power conservation and maximum performance. 3.2.1 The Concept of Heuristics Current power management schemes or methods used by notebooks are timer-based. You have to set various time-out values for the display, the hard disk and other devices.
3.2.2 Suspend Modes The heuristic power management system performs automatic suspend, hotkey suspend and all suspend actions resulting from various events and conditions. You only need to set the suspend mode type the notebook enters when a suspend condition occurs. The two suspend modes are: • Suspend-to-memory mode • Suspend-to-disk mode The suspend mode that the notebook enters into is specified in the When Lid is Closed parameter in Setup. See section 6.5.1.
Suspend-to-Memory Mode Conditions For the notebook to enter suspend-to-memory mode, any of the following conditions should exist: • When Lid is Closed parameter is set to [Suspend To Memory] • The suspend-to-disk file is either absent or invalid Entering Suspend-to-Memory Mode With the suspend-to-memory conditions satisfied, there are many ways to enter suspend mode: • Closing the display • Pressing the suspend hot key • Sustained inactivity • Battery fail condition occurs without a powered AC
Suspend-to-Disk Mode In suspend-to-disk mode, power shuts off. The notebook saves all system status information onto the hard disk (in a file created by Sleep Manager) before entering suspend-to-disk mode. The next time you open the notebook, it restores this information from the hard disk and resumes from where you last left off.
3.2.3 Advanced Power Management (APM) This notebook supports the APM standard designed to further reduce power consumption. APM is a power-management approach defined jointly by ® ® Microsoft and Intel . The notebook’s heuristic power management scheme works hand-in-hand with APM to take advantage of power saving features and allows greater system availability without degrading performance. Advanced Power Management greatly prolongs battery life. Use APM whenever possible.

5.2 Sleep Manager Notebooks usually feature built-in power-saving functions. In addition to the normal standby mode for power-saving, our notebooks are also capable of a power management feature called 0-volt suspend to hard disk. When a suspend event occurs, this built-in function saves all the system’s current status onto your hard disk in the form of a file. The system then shuts off the power. When the user resumes (e.g.
The Sleep Manager displays below: Table 5-1 Sleep Manager Window Items Item Description Buttons Click to access the Sleep Manager functions Current Setting Displays the drive and size of the current reserved space created by Sleep Manager. On Board Information Displays the different areas of system memory and their respective values. These system resources need to be stored before the system can enter 0-volt suspend mode, so the system can resume to the previous state successfully.
Table 5-1 Sleep Manager Window Items (continued) Item Description Recommended Size Displays the minimum size of the contiguous space you need for the 0-volt suspend-to-disk feature. The actual size may be a little bit more due to file system alignment. Enable Indicator on the Taskbar When this checkbox is checked, the Sleep Manager status appears on the taskbar.
Sleep Manager automatically checks the system configuration and displays the recommended size. The drive where the space will be created is defined by the system and will be the first available logical drive which has the requested contiguous free disk space on it. The recommended size is the minimum size needed to save the current system status. If the program cannot find the required space on the hard disk during the space creation process, it shows a message box to inform the user.
Another possible reason is that the hard disk has enough free space, but this free space exists as small fragments. The free disk space that Sleep Manager requires needs to be contiguous. To solve this problem, the user can use tools such as SpeedDisk (Norton Utilities) or Disk Defragmenter (Windows 95) to compact these free disk spaces. The user can then run Sleep Manager utility again to reserve the space. Another factor that causes the error is when the user employs disk compression utilities.
Exit The user can exit Sleep Manager by selecting the Exit button. Sleep Manager will then quit and disable the capability of auto-adjusting the reserved space size. Disconnecting this feature is NOT recommended. 5.2.3 Running Sleep Manager Once Sleep Manager is installed on the disk, the system automatically loads this utility every time you start Windows 95. Sleep Manager resides in the background by appearing on the taskbar.

Solutions to more serious problems require opening up the system. Do not attempt to open the system by yourself. Contact your dealer or an authorized service center for assistance.
8.1 Q&A Q & A lists possible situations that may arise during the use of your notebook, and gives easy answers and solutions to these questions. Q: I travel a lot and occasionally use my notebook in extreme temperature conditions. Will my notebook bend to the weather? A: The notebook’s core design makes use of materials that dissipate heat quickly, without the need of a fan that can be noisy at times.
Q: I prefer using an external keyboard and mouse, but both have PS/2 connectors and there is only one PS/2 port on the notebook. How do I connect them to the notebook at the same time? A: To connect two PS/2-type devices to the notebook, you need to use a PS/2 Y-bridge cable. See PS/2 Y-Bridge Cable in section 4.8.2 for details. Connecting two PS/2-type devices via the mini dock is not a problem, because there are separate PS/2 connectors for an external keyboard and mouse.
Q: I made some changes in Setup but they don’t seem to take effect. A: If you made any changes in Setup, these will only take effect the next time the system restarts. Here a few ways to restart your notebook: • In Windows 95, click on the Start button and select Shutdown…. Then select the Restart option. • In POST, execute a warm boot (pressing E-D-F). • In POST, close the display and open the display. • Use the reset notch. See Q&A #2. Q: Nothing appears on the screen.
Q: The serial mouse does not work. A: Do the following: • Make sure that the serial cable is plugged securely into the serial port. • Try pressing -Q (PnP) to reconfigure Plug-and-Play devices. Remember to set the External Mouse Location parameter in the Power Saving Options screen in Setup and select COM1 if you connected your mouse to the serial port. Q: The printer does not work.
