Powering off the computer
It’s a good idea to power off your computer when you are not 
using it for a while. 
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the 
computer plugged into a power source (even though the 
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. When the 
main battery light glows green, the battery is fully charged.

Learning the Basics
This chapter lists some computing tips and provides 
important information about basic features.
Computing tips
❖Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory 
until you save it to the disk. You will lose all unsaved 
work, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must 
restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge 
while you are working. Your computer can be configured 
to warn you when the battery...

❖Back up your files to diskettes (or other removable 
storage media) on a regular basis. Label the backup 
copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
If your hard disk suddenly fails, you may lose all the data 
on it unless you have a separate backup copy.
❖Use Disk Defragmenter to conserve disk space and help 
your computer perform at its optimal level. 
❖Before turning off the computer, always use the Turn Off 
or Shut down command...

Character keys 
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a 
typewriter, except that: 
❖The spacebar creates a space character instead of just 
passing over an area of the page.
❖The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 are not 
interchangeable.
❖The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not 
interchangeable.
❖The Caps Lock key changes only the alphabet keys to upper 
case — the number and symbol keys are not affected....

Using the numeric keypad overlay
To turn on the numeric keypad overlay, press Fn and F11

letters.
❖For uppercase letters, hold down both Fn and Shift while 
you type the letters....

Emulating a full-size keyboard
Although the computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with 
a standard full-size keyboard, it has fewer keys. 
Pressing the
 Fn key simultaneously in combination with one 
of the specially marked keys allows you to emulate a full-size 
keyboard. For further information and instructions, see 
“Assigning a key to a program or document” on page 186. 
NOTE: The Fn emulation key is not supported when...
