Preface to cold temperatures can produce condensation that can damage individual components or destroy your system. Humidity, Rain, and Moisture Do not use your TransPort® U1100 in harsh conditions or near water. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TransPort® U1100. Warning: Never expose the TransPort® U1100 to moisture. Moisture exposure can lead to an electrical shock or fire hazard. Operating the TransPort® U1100 in areas with high humidity can damage system components.
Preface Magnetic Fields Place the TransPort® U1100 away from electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (for example, television/stereo sets, copying machine, and air conditioners. Direct Sunlight and Extreme Temperatures Avoid using or storing the TransPort® U1100 in extremely hot or cold areas such as a car on a hot day. Keep the TransPort® U1100 away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage TransPort® U1100 components.
Preface TransPort® U1100 Package After you have carefully unpacked your TransPort® U1100, verify that you have all of the items listed below.
Preface Using Your TransPort® U1100 Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, batteries, memory modules, and other options. The TransPort® U1100 requires a 65W AC adapter. An AC adapter with lower wattage will not power the system. If you are using the TransPort® U1100 with the AC adapter, do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not use the AC adapter or battery if the shell is cracked or damaged.
Preface Your TransPort® U1100 contains electrical filters, fuses, protections, and a built-in surge protector. However, we strongly recommend using a highquality, external surge protector. An external surge protector looks like an extension cord with several grounded outlets. It will help shield your TransPort® U1100 from lightning strikes, surges, shorts, and other electrical hazards. We also recommend plugging your phone line into a surge protector.
Preface Caution: To avoid damage to the system’s components caused by electrical surges, plug your system into a surge protector.

Preface Your Computer’s CMOS Battery Care CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) is a semiconductor chip located on the motherboard, which is powered by a battery dedicated to supporting the CMOS, “CMOS Battery.” The CMOS stores information such as the system time and system settings for your computer. Caution: The CMOS battery is not rechargeable; to avoid costly repairs to replace the CMOS battery you should take the following precautions.
Preface If absolutely necessary, storing the notebook requires precautions to ensure the intended lifespan of the CMOS battery. Please take the following precautions: Do not store your notebook without use for longer than thirty days. Remove the main battery from the notebook. Plug in the AC Adapter and connect to an electrical outlet. Set the laptop to off.
Preface Keyboard and Touchpad Keyboard The Notebook’s keyboard provides all the functions of a full-sized 86-key keyboard and an additional [Fn] key for specific functions on the Notebook. The keyboard can be divided into four categories: Typewriter keys, Cursor keys, Numeric keys and Function keys.
Preface Typewriter Keys The function of these Typewriter keys is the major function of the keyboard, which is similar to the keys on a typewriter. It also provides several keys for special purposes, such as the [Ctrl], [Alt] and [Esc] key. When the lock keys are pressed, the corresponding LEDs will light up to indicate their status: Num Lock: Press and hold the [Fn] key and press this key to toggle the Num Lock on and off.
Preface Scroll Lock: Press and hold the [Fn] key and press this key to toggle the Scroll Lock on and off. Individual programs define this function and it is usually used under DOS. Cursor Keys The keyboard provides four cursor (arrow) keys and [Home], [PgUp], [PgDn], [End] keys at the lower right corner, which are used to control the cursor movement.
Preface The backspace key, [Ins] and [Del] keys at upper right corner are use for editing purpose.
Preface Numeric Keys The keyboard provides a set of numeric keypad, which is embedded in the typewriter keys. When the Num Lock is activated, you can use these numeric keys to enter numbers and calculations.
Preface Function Keys Window Keys You can find the Windows Logo key ( ) and one Application Logo key ( ) on the keyboard, which are used to perform Windows-specific functions, such as opening the Start menu and launching the shortcut Windows manual or online help.
Preface [Fn] Key 59
Preface Touchpad The touchpad integrated in your Notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with standard mouse, allowing you to control the Notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and making selection with its two buttons. 1. Cursor Movement Area – This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to place your finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by moving your finger. 2. Right Button – Acts as the mouse’s right button. 3.
Preface Using the Touchpad Positioning and Moving Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger) and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the touchpad.
Preface Drag and Drop You can move files or objects in your Notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the touchpad to drop the item into place.
Preface Configuring the Touchpad You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For example, if you are a left-hand user, you may want to swap the functions of the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size, shape, moving speed, and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen. To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver in your Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in the Control Panel allow you to change the configuration.
