UltraMobilePC Power System Using AC Power The UltraMobilePC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the UltraMobilePC. Your UltraMobilePC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters.
UltraMobilePC Using Battery Power The UltraMobilePC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a retailer.
UltraMobilePC Powering ON the UltraMobilePC The UltraMobilePC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you may adjust the brightness by using the hotkey. If you need to run the BIOS Setup to set or modify the system configuration, press [F2] upon bootup to enter the BIOS Setup. If you press [Tab] during the splash screen, standard boot information such as the BIOS version can be seen.
UltraMobilePC Checking Battery Power The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fullycharged battery pack provides the UltraMobilePC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel.
UltraMobilePC Restarting or Rebooting After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to restart the system. Some installation processes will provide a dialog box to allow restart. To restart (Screens are different depending on security settings.) the system manually, click Windows Start button and select Shut Down and then choose Restart.
UltraMobilePC Status Indicators Power Indicator The power indicator lights when the UltraMobilePC is turned ON and blinks slowly when the UltraMobilePC is in the Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) mode. This indicator is OFF when the UltraMobilePC is turned OFF or in the Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode. Battery Charge Indicator The battery charge indicator shows the status of the battery’s power as follows: ON: The UltraMobilePC’s battery is charging when AC power is connected.

UltraMobilePC Operating System This UltraMobilePC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a preinstalled operating system such as Microsoft Windows XP. The choices and languages will depend on the territory. The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. The stability and compatibility of other operating systems cannot be guaranteed.
UltraMobilePC Fast-Ethernet Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the UltraMobilePC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.
UltraMobilePC Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models) The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional builtin wireless LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.
UltraMobilePC Bluetooth Wireless Connection UltraMobilePCs with Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be mouse, keyboard, UltraMobilePCs, Desktop PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs. Note: If your UltraMobilePC did not come with built-in Bluetooth, you need to connect a USB Bluetooth module in order to use Bluetooth. Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones You can wireless connect to your mobile phone.
UltraMobilePC Power Management Modes The UltraMobilePC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system.
