$Touchpad The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger over of the touchpad. It also provides all the features of a two-button mouse. How to Use the Touchpad 1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either your left or right thumb off the space bar and onto the touchpad. 2. Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction. 3. You can also make selections by double-tapping. This function corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-tapping on the touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the software to perform the related operation. 4. The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software specific. 5. Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons. Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button two times. This action is commonly referred to as "double-clicking" an object. Dragging zMove the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button. 13 Communication Green 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation. All rights reserved.

$zMove the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice quickly as if you were double-clicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging. Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow you to change the orientation of the joystick from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer movement and timing of clicks. Touchpad Precautions The touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following precautions: zMake sure the touchpad does not into come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease. zDo not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty. zDo not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons. Scrolling buttons If you are scrolling through a document, you may find that using the scrolling button is more restful to your hand than holding down a mouse button. The scrolling button is located between the touchpad buttons. Push the top of the button to scroll up in a document or Web page; press the bottom of the button to scroll down in a document or web page. Touchpad basics The following teaches you how to use the touchpad: zMove your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor. zPress the left (1) and right (3) buttons located below the touchpad to do selection and execution functions.

$1. Select My Computer, Control Panel, Display, Settings. Select the Settings tab. The dialog box indicates the monitor resolution. 2. Use the slide bar to adjust the resolution. Normally, you should use the resolution suggested for the LCD or monitor. NOTE Using a lower resolution than the screen was designed for will reduce the area of the display. You can stretch low resolution displays to full screen size by selecting either the Expanded Display or Display Expansion Mode features in the BIOS utility. However, the stretching may cause distortion, especially to fonts. Higher resolution modes may be used, as long as the monitor supports them. Photo Sensor The built in photo sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness unless you use the function keys to manually adjust display brightness. NOTE Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 override the photo sensor. Once they have been used, the photo sensor is disabled until the next resume or reboot. The sensitivity of photo sensor is adjustable in BIOS Setup Utility. The photo sensor does not have a time out setting. Auto Dim Feature To save the battery power, your GoBook PRO II automatically dims the display when the computer is not attached to external power. NOTE You may still use the display brightness function keys (Fn+F6 and Fn+F7) to adjust display brightness. See Power management for more information on power management features. Simultaneous display The computer's crisp display and multimedia capabilities are great for viewing movies or giving presentations. If you prefer, you can also connect an external monitor when giving presentations. This computer supports simultaneous LCD and external display output via the external display port or the S-video output port. Simultaneous display allows you to control the presentation from your computer and at the same time face your audience. You can also connect other output display devices such as LCD projection panels for large-audience presentations. Opening and closing the display To open the display, press the display cover latch and lift up the cover, then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position. See Connecting your computer.

$To close the display cover, fold it down gently until the display cover latch clicks into place. CAUTION To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when you close it. Also, do not place any object on top of the computer when the display is closed. Cursor Visibility The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a type of screen used on many notebook and sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display, especially in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever the mouse is moved quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse cursor, you should: zEnable the “Pointer Trails” feature to add trailing cursors. zUse a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This allows you to move the mouse cursor quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a finer degree of control when you apply minimum pressure. NOTE To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, and then choose Mouse to make adjustments. Memory Adding memory allows the computer to operate faster, handle more tasks simultaneously, and work more smoothly with large files. Users who increase memory demands - by adding additional programs, for example - may notice a slowdown in operating speed, and wish to increase memory. The notebook includes a memory card slot for adding additional memory. Calculate memory size by adding the size of the memory module to the existing built-in memory. For example: 128 MB (module) + 128 MB (built-in memory) = 256 MB Total Replacing a Memory Card CAUTION Memory modules can be easily damaged by static electricity. Leave the module inside its static-proof bag until it is ready for installation. Removing a Memory Card 1.

$CAUTION Please avoid hitting wireless communication antennas as this may adversely affect communications quality. Bluetooth Bluetooth systems create a personal-area network (PAN), or piconet, that may fill a room or may encompass no more distance than that between the cell phone on a belt-clip and the headset on your head. When Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another, an electronic conversation takes place to determine whether they have data to share or whether one needs to control the other. The user doesn't have to press a button or give a command -- the electronic conversation happens automatically. Once the conversation has occurred, the devices -- whether they're part of a computer system or a stereo -- form a network. Once a piconet is established, the members randomly hop frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another and avoid other piconets that may be operating in the same room. One of the ways Bluetooth devices avoid interfering with other systems is by sending out very weak 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation. All rights reserved.

$signals of 1 milliwatt. By comparison, the most powerful cell phones can transmit a signal of 3 watts. The low power limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters, cutting the chances of interference between your computer system and your portable telephone or television. Even with the low power, the walls in your house won't stop a Bluetooth signal, making the standard useful for controlling several devices in different rooms. GPRS Network A radio system must be able to generate a radio frequency signal that contains information and then transmit that signal through the atmosphere with enough strength to be received at the appropriate location.

$Wireless connectivity between radio-equipped portable terminals and host computers is unique and maintaining this wireless connectivity over a wide area is fundamental to the usefulness of the network. As such, the scope and reliability of radio coverage is a primary concern. Therefore, one of the most important features of the wireless network is the degree of radio coverage provided. Coverage is influenced by terrain, buildings or a crowded room. There are many things that can be done to improve coverage depending on location. In any location 1. Performance can vary significantly at different times of the day. 2. Weather can affect performance. On the street 1. Try all sides of a building to see which side provides the strongest radio signal. 2. Move from under trees. Pine needles absorb radio signals more than leaves. 3. Move away from overhead electrical wires. 4. Radio signals reflect off other buildings. Even in the signal shadow, the signal could be reflected back by another building. 5. Try not to hold the unit. If possible, place it in vehicle, on a cabinet or desk. 6. If holding the unit, turn the unit in 90-degree increments to avoid shielding it with your body. 7. The signal is 1 - 2 feet across; therefore, moving several feet in any direction may give different results. Inside a Building 1. Move toward windows. 2. Signals do not penetrate ground, therefore, there will probably be no signal in basements. 3. Reflective coatings on windows reflect radio signals. Try the side of the building, the least likely to have coated windows. 4. Closed metal blinds can reflect radio signals. 5. Dropped ceilings sometimes hide an accumulation of electrical cable. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 1. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is generated by switching circuitry closets or Un-interruptable Power Source (UPS) systems found near computer rooms and can block the radio signal.Page 43 of 100GoBook PRO II Help5/16/2005file://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\barvillj.ITRXNT1\Local%20Settings\Temp\~hh7...$

$2. Look for significant sources of electromagnetic radiation. The problem may emanate from a source between location and the radio base station. When to use landline communication If these tips do not improve radio signal strength, switch to landline communication. Switching to landline communication is faster than searching for and trying to improve the radio signal. WLAN In the simplest of terms, a wireless local-area network (WLAN) does exactly what the name implies: it provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies, such as Ethernet and Token Ring, without the limitations of wires or cables. But to view a WLAN just in terms of the cables it does not have is to miss the point: WLANs redefine the way we view LANs. Connectivity no longer implies attachment. An infrastructure need not be buried in the ground or hidden behind the walls—an "infrastructure" can move and change at the speed of the organization. This technology has several immediate applications, including: zIT professionals or business executives who want mobility within the enterprise, perhaps in addition to a traditional wired network zBusiness owners or IT directors who need flexibility for frequent LAN wiring changes, either throughout the site or in selected areas zAny company whose site is not conducive to LAN wiring because of building or budget 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation.

$limitations, such as older buildings, leased space, or temporary sites zAny company that needs the flexibility and cost savings offered by wireless, building-to-building bridge to avoid expensive trenches, leased lines, or right-of-way issues WLANs use a transmission medium, just like wired LANs. Instead of using twisted-pair or fiber-optic cable, WLANs use either infrared light (IR) or radio frequencies (RF). Of the two, RF is far more popular for its longer-range, higher- bandwidth, and wider coverage. Most wireless LANs today use the 2.4-gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, the only portion of the RF spectrum reserved around the world for unlicensed devices. The freedom and flexibility of wireless networking can be applied both within buildings and between buildings. In-Building WLANs WLAN technology can take the place of a traditional wired network or extend its reach and capabilities. Much like their wired counterparts, in-building WLAN equipment consists of USB, Personal Computer Interface (PCI), and Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) client adapters, as well as access points, which perform functions similar to wired networking hubs. Similar to wired LANs for small or temporary installations, a WLAN can be arranged in a peer-to-peer or ad hoc topology using only client adapters. For added functionality and range, access points can be incorporated to act as the center of a star topology and function as a bridge to an Ethernet network as well. Within a building, wireless enables computing that is both mobile and connected. With a PC Card client adapter installed in a notebook or hand-held PC, users can move freely within a facility while maintaining access to the network. Applying wireless LAN technology to desktop systems provides an organization with flexibility impossible with a traditional LAN. Desktop client systems can be located in places where running cable is impractical or impossible. Desktop PCs can be redeployed anywhere within a facility as frequently as needed, making wireless ideal for temporary workgroups and fast-growing organizations. Building-to-Building WLANs In much the same way that a commercial radio signal can be picked up in all sorts of weather miles from its transmitter, WLAN technology applies the power of radio waves to truly redefine the "local" in LAN. With a wireless bridge, networks located in different buildings can be integrated into a single local-area network. When bridging between buildings with traditional copper or fiber-optic cable, freeways, lakes, and even local governments can be impassible obstacles. A wireless bridge makes them irrelevant, transmitting data through the air and requiring no license or right of way. Without a wireless alternative, organizations frequently resort to wide area networking (WAN) technologies to link together separate LANs. Contracting with a local telephone provider for a leased line presents a variety of drawbacks. Installation is typically expensive and rarely immediate. Monthly fees are often quite high for bandwidth that by LAN standards is very low. A wireless bridge can be purchased and then installed in an afternoon for a cost that is often comparable to a T1 installation charge alone. Once the investment is made, there are no recurring charges. In addition, today's wireless bridges provide the bandwidth one would expect from a technology rooted in data, rather than voice, communications.

$Recently a combination of the in building and building to building WLAN has been developed. Two examples are parking lots that are equipped with outdoor access points and vehicles that are equipped with access points. In the first example, a user is connected and disconnected with the company LAN as they approach or leave the parking area. This allows the user full fast access while in the vehicle. In most cases, the user will still be able to gain access to a portion of the company LAN through a slower and more expensive RF or landline WAN while they are outside of the WLAN area. In the second example, a user connects to the company WAN with an RF modem located inside the vehicle. When the user leaves the vehicle, the computer is connected to the vehicle using a WLAN connection. The vehicle can either contain a store of information or simply be a pass through to the WAN. Fast Infrared The computer's fast infrared (FIR) port (option) allows you to do wireless data transfer with other IR-aware computers and peripherals such as PDAs (personal digital assistants), mobile phones, and infrared printers. The infrared port can transfer data at speeds of up to 4 Mb/s at a distance of up to one meter. To use FIR, position two IR-aware devices such that their IR ports are no more than one meter apart and offset no more the 15 degrees. When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See your file transfer software for details. 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation.

$-------------------- IrDA Communications is used to carry information between components via beams of light in the infrared spectrum. Infrared refers to light waves of a lower frequency than human eyes can receive and interpret. Infrared is used in most television remote control systems, and with a standard called IrDA (Infrared Data Association) it's used to connect some computers with peripheral devices. With IrDA communications there are a couple of drawbacks. First, infrared is a "line of sight" technology. For example, you have to point the remote control at the television or DVD player to make things happen. NOTE In practice, the components should be no closer than 12 inches and no further apart then three feet. The second drawback is that infrared is almost always a "one to one" technology. You can send data between your desktop computer and your laptop computer, but not your laptop computer and your PDA at the same time. These two qualities of infrared are actually advantageous in some regards. Because infrared transmitters and receivers have to be lined up with each other, interference between devices is uncommon. The one-to-one nature of infrared communications is useful in that you can make sure a message goes only to the intended recipient, even in a room full of infrared receivers. Operating with Battery Power The computer operates on AC or battery power. This chapter contains the information you need to know to operate the computer on battery power. It also includes information on how your computer manages and saves power. Battery pack The computer uses a battery pack that gives you long use between charges. Battery pack characteristics The battery pack has the following characteristics: z Employs current battery technology standards The computer uses a Lithium-Ion battery pack which does not have the memory effect problem of Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries. Li-Ion batteries consistently provide the longest battery life, best-suited for road warriors. 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation. All rights reserved.

$z Battery-low warning When the battery charge level becomes low, the status indicator of the computer flashes at regular intervals. This tells you that the battery power is critically low (and you should save your work). You can correct this situation by recharging the battery pack. Whenever possible, use the AC adapter. The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power failure. It is advisable to have an extra fully-charged battery pack available as backup. Using a battery pack for the first time When using a battery pack for the first time, follow these steps: 1. Connect the AC adapter to a power source and to the computer and fully recharge the battery. 2. Disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before recharging again. You only need to do this once or twice with a new battery or with a battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery power from a fully charged battery pack depletes in roughly a day with the computer in Standby mode, a month in Hibernation mode or when power is off. WARNING Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack. Installing and removing the battery pack Important! Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise, turn off the computer. To install a battery pack: 1. Line up battery connectors. 2. Press gently on the battery until it clicks into place. 3. Then slide the battery lock to the lock position. To remove the battery pack: 1.

$Battery Charging To charge the battery, install the battery pack and plug the AC adapter into the computer and an electrical outlet. Charging modes The adapter has two charging modes: zRapid mode The computer uses rapid charging when power is turned off and a powered AC adapter is connected to it. In rapid mode, a fully depleted battery gets 95% charged in approximately 2 hours. z Charge-in-use mode When the computer is in use with the AC adapter plugged in, the computer also charges the battery pack if installed. This mode will take longer to fully charge a battery than rapid mode. In charge-in-use mode, a fully depleted battery gets 95% charged in approximately 4 hours. NOTE We suggest that you charge the battery pack before retiring for the day, letting it charge overnight before traveling. This ensures a fully charged battery for use the next day. When you use the AC adapter to connect your GoBook PRO II to a power outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Power Indicator will be active after 6-12 seconds and will stay solid orange. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Power Indicator will turn green. If your computer is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take about 3 hours to recharge. If your computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode, it will take about 6-13 hours to recharge the battery. Refer to the following table: NOTE A fully charged Li-Ion battery can run the Notebook for approximately 2.5 hours of normal use. (According to Battery Mark benchmark tests).

$causes increased battery consumption. When to Replace the Battery Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge. Changing the Battery Change the main battery pack as follows: 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Close the screen and turn the computer over. 3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away from the battery. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed. 4. Gently lift the battery out of the compartment (2). 5. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Slide back the battery latch (1) then insert the battery into the battery compartment. Check that the latch locks back into position. Heat Considerations The computer’s processor has been specially designed to consume as little power as possible, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. The GoBook PRO II takes the following steps to lower temperature: 1. The cooling fan turns on automatically. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side of the computer when this happens. 2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens. WARNING If the operating temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F) the system will slowdown to prevent the heat from damaging the computer's infrastructure. If you continue to operate the computer at these high temperatures it will eventually shutdown. When the computer cools to a normal temperature you can restart the system. The higher the temperature, the longer the period the computer will need to cool down. 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 Page 51 of 100GoBook PRO II Help5/16/2005file://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\barvillj.ITRXNT1\Local%20Settings\Temp\~hh7...$

$Power management The GoBook PRO II has power management capability so you can reduce the amount of energy used, especially during periods of inactivity. Effective use of power management options can greatly conserve and extend your battery life. This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, hard disk, peripherals connected to the serial and parallel ports, and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of time (called an inactivity timeout), the computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve energy. This computer employs a power management scheme that supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) which allows for maximum power conservation and maximum performance at the same time. Windows handles all power-saving chores for your computer. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is a power management specification jointly developed by Compaq, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix and Toshiba. ACPI enables Windows to control the amount of power given to each device attached to the computer. With ACPI, Windows can turn off peripheral devices when they are not in use, thereby saving power. NOTE We recommend you enable power management to prolong your battery life. Refer to Windows help for more details. Power Management Power Saving Modes Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Options / Advanced dialog box in the Control panel. The Power Options Properties dialog box allows you to set different actions to take when the computer is left idle for a certain amount of time. Suspend Mode AC adapter or power outlet not available 1. Save all necessary files. 2. Exit the application. 3. Power off the computer. 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation.

$Tip 1. Avoid excessive heat and cold zYour battery will last longer during the day if it is used, charged and stored between 50°F and 86°F (10°C and 30°C). zCharge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 68°F (20°C). Your battery may not last as long through the day if you charge it at higher or lower temperatures. zAllow unrestricted airflow while the computer is connected to external power. Make sure that the fan inlet and outlet are unobstructed. zAvoid exposing batteries to hot or cold temperatures for long periods. How your battery behaves in warm conditions How your battery behaves in cold conditions Tip 2. Prevent wasted power zManually turn off or suspend your computer whenever you are not using it. zReduce the screen brightness. Decrease brightness by pressing FN+F6. Increase it by pressing FN+F7. zUse the AC adapter or vehicle adapter whenever possible. zSelect either the Portable/Laptop or Max Battery power scheme. Both of these power schemes help to conserve battery power. Max Battery provides the most battery conservation by always keeping the processing speed lower. However, this may affect your application performance. Portable/Laptop automatically adjusts the processing speed as required by your applications. zWhen running on battery power, make sure your system suspends automatically after a few minutes of inactivity. PC Cards, radios, custom applications, or modified system settings may affect this. zRemove PC Cards and unplug peripherals when you are not using them. They may draw power from the system even when not in use. zAvoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax/modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer’s power requirements. zDon't use screen savers as they draw excessive current, especially “3D” screen savers. zAvoid or minimize using applications that keep the CPU busy a large percentage of the time. The following will help you determine if your system is running such applications: zTurn off the Wireless LAN when not using it. Turning on the Wireless LAN increases the computer's power requirements. Page 56 of 100GoBook PRO II Help5/16/2005file://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\barvillj.ITRXNT1\Local%20Settings\Temp\~hh7...$

$Identifying power wasting programs What to do if applications are keeping the CPU busy Tip 3. Calibrate your battery zOver time, the accuracy of the Windows battery gas gauge may be affected by repeated charging and discharging of the battery. Calibrating the battery every three or four months helps to keep the gas gauge accurate. For information on calibrating the battery, refer to Battery Calibration. Tip 4. Get a good charge zYour computer will charge more quickly if it is turned off or suspended. zIn warmer or cooler temperatures, your battery can take much longer to fully charge. zIf your battery is charged in a cold (less than 41°F/5°C) or very warm (greater than 122°F/50°C) environment, it is possible that the Battery Charge LED will indicate that the charge has stopped; however, this does not necessarily mean that your battery is fully charged. Tip 5. Prevent data loss Follow these guidelines to prevent data loss when removing your battery or storing your computer: zYou will lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is operating or suspended. To prevent this, shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate (suspend-to-disk) mode before removing your battery. zIf you plan to store your computer for more than a few days, shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate mode. Remove the battery before storing the computer. Tip 6. Clean terminals zDirty terminals can be a cause of charging problems. Clean battery terminals with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the alcohol has evaporated before reinstalling the battery. Tip 7. Storing batteries zStore the battery within the recommended temperature range: 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). zUnused or stored batteries can lose power over time. When you install a battery that has not been used for awhile, connect external power to the computer and fully charge your battery. zBattery calibration may increase the capacity of a battery stored for a period of time. For information on calibrating the battery, refer to Battery Calibration. zIt is recommended that the battery is recharged every six months while in storage.

$Customizing Your BIOS Settings The BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run it. Please also refer to Troubleshooting if a problem arises. This chapter explains how to use the Setup Utility to modify the BIOS settings. The Setup Utility displays and allows modification of the GoBook PRO II components and the configuration of devices that are connected to it. This information is used to test and initialize components at start-up time and to make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating. The GoBook PRO II is configured with a set of default values. You may be able to increase system performance by changing some of the timing values in the Setup Utility, but this can be limited by the kind of hardware you are using. In certain circumstances, the system may generate an error message that asks you to make changes to the BIOS settings using the Setup Utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the POST (Power On Self Test) that it carries out at startup. CAUTION It is not recommended that you change any settings since this may cause the unit to not function properly. If you are not sure how to configure the BIOS settings we suggest that you select "Auto configuration with Optimal Settings" on the Main Menu screen, then exit saving changes.

You can order a spare AC adapter so you do not need to carry it from the office to your home or destination. Surge Protection A large number of computer and high technology equipment damage is directly related to AC power and telephone line problems. These problems can include surges, spikes, noise, interference, and weather-related problems, which in turn can cause glitches, hang-ups, crashes, performance slow downs, and down time with computer equipment. The market is flooded with hundreds of AC power line surge suppressors advertising high performance surge protection; only a few of them actually provide adequate protection. This section provides guidelines for selecting a quality surge suppressor to be used with your GoBook PRO II, and it helps identify a few sources for products with acceptable performance. Selecting the Right Surge Protection Consider the level of quality you need when selecting a surge suppressor. This depends on factors such as surge environment, the type of equipment to be protected, and the quality of the electrical wiring and service. Surge Environment Surge environment refers to the damage potential from electrical surges in a particular geographical area. A high quality suppressor should be used if there is frequent lightning activity in the area and the location service is fed by overhead utility poles. Type of Equipment to be Protected If the computer is equipped with a modem, the modem should also be surge protected. Protecting the power line without protecting the modem line provides only partial protection. Quality of Electrical Wiring and Service Wiring should be up to current NEC standards and have verified good AC grounds. It is important that your computer system be plugged into a grounded AC outlet when charging and that all peripherals 72_0128_001 16 May 2005 © 2005 Itronix Corporation. All rights reserved.
