16
You are now ready to run software programs and use devices such as printers,
disk drives, and the CD-ROM.
To turn the TREK 2 off, save your work and close all open applications, click on
Start, then Shut Down. In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, select Shut
Down and click Yes.

:
Never turn off or reset your TREK 2 while the hard disk or floppy disk is in
use and the FDD and/or HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or
destruction of your data. Always wait at least five seconds after turning off
your TREK 2 before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid
succession can damage the TREK 2’s electrical circuitry.
Before you run your system for the first time on battery power, remove the
battery from its package and install it in the system. Recharge the battery
fully to prepare the battery pack for maximum service. When selecting a
suitable working location, please consider the ventilation, temperature, dust
and dirt, plus electromagnetic and RF interference. The selected location
should provide a sturdy and reasonably level surface with at least four
inches of open space around the computer cabinet for proper airflow. Your
computer functions best at room temperature. Choose a location free from
extreme heat or cold.
Except for PC cards, never connect or disconnect any equipment or
components while the system power is on.
When using the feet in the rear of the notebook, the computer will operate
cooler as the result of better ventilation. It is also important not to operate
the notebook on soft surfaces--such as a bed-as this will cover the
ventilation holes of the notebook.
There is one fan on the left side of the notebook, which will turn on when the
CPU temperature exceeds 60 degrees. The fan will turn off when the CPU
temperature is below 50 degrees.

ARNING
:
If the temperature continues to rise above the CPU allowable limit--either
due to a defective fan, the notebook being operated in an excessively hot
environment or a soft surface that covers the ventilation holes--then the
notebook will shut down and all unsaved data will be lost.
