Getting Started
First-time Operation
6Turn your computer on.
Slide the power switch and hold it for approximately one second until the power indi-
cator turns on before releasing it.
Do not slide the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds; this will
cause the power to be turned off forcibly.
Do not slide the power switch repeatedly.
Once the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds before
powering it on again.
4Connect your computer to a power outlet.
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing the first-time use opera-
tion.
When using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral de-
vice except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully.  Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer.  Using an AC adaptor
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder
and lightning.  Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.

inoperable.  Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.  You can
also change the way a user logs on or off.

When the power is turned on, sometimes the message “Warming up the system (up

orange.  This function is designed to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions that may
occur at low temperatures.  Wait for the computer to start up.
NOTE

Operation
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch
pad, the touchscreen (only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when
one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the power to the LCD and hard disk may
be turned off.  The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad, the touchscreen
(only for models with touchscreen) or an external mouse (when one is connected) is
used or a key is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is being
installed.  In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog box will be
shown, do not press    Space    or     Enter     to attempt to resume from this condition
as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key unrelated to the direct
triggering of a selection, like   Ctrl  .
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby or hiber-
nation mode.  The computer will resume by sliding the power switch. (
 
“Standby/Hibernation Functions”)

After confirming that the hard disk drive indicator () has turned off, select the user and

Function
Touch Pad (Basic Operation)
Use the touch pad to move the cursor on the screen and perform computer operations.  For
instructions on how to operate, refer to  
 “Touch Pad”.
By design the touch pad is to be used with a finger tip only.  Do not place any object on the
work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails) or hard ob-
jects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pen).
Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch
pad.  The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with
detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the sur-
face, e.g., discoloration.  In addition, do not use commercially-available household clean-
ers and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.or
