Components and Operations 6COMPONENTS AND OPERATIONS Location A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Avoid areas with: • Sudden or extreme changes in temperature. • Extreme heat. • Strong electromagnetic fields (near television set, motor rotation area, etc.). • Dust or high humidity. If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain your computer by cleaning dust, water, etc. to keep it in optimal condition. Ruggedness The computer is designed with rugged features as vibration, shock, dust, and rain/water protection. However, it is still necessary to provide appropriate protection while operating in harsh environments. NEVER immerse the computer in water. Doing so may cause permanent damages. Drop may cause parts break or permanent damages. The D-sub connector cap is for dust and shock protection only. The connector itself is sealed internally. Other I/O ports and devices must have caps tightly closed or cable inlets sealed while exposed to water or dust. All connectors will corrode if exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is accelerated if the power is ON. Please take proper measures in cable connection to avoid water entering into connectors. The DC jack and cables are sealed and may be operated with water splashing while attached. All port covers should be in place when no cable is attached. Operating Systems The computer is compatible with most operating systems (OS). However, not all functions are 100% compatible. For example, ACPI, APM, Smart Battery, etc. are not available on DOS, Windows NT, and other non-Microsoft OS. Consequently “Standby”,
Components and Operations 7“Hibernation”, “Battery Gauge” etc. would not work under such operating systems. ACPI: Advanced Configurations and Power Interface APM: Advanced Power Management AC Adapter The AC adapter performs two functions: • It powers the computer from an external AC source. • It charges the computer battery. The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and adjusts accordingly. The following are recommended when using the AC adapter: • Use a properly grounded AC outlet. • Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other appliances on the same line may cause interference. • Use a power strip with built-in surge protection. Connect the AC adapter: 1. Plug the AC cord to the adapter. 2. Plug the other end of the AC cord into the wall outlet. Make sure the green LED on the adapter turns on. 3. Attach the DC plug into the power jack of the computer; turn the lock ring clockwise to secure it. AC Adapter Indicator The green LED indicates that the adapter output is ready. Battery The computer will automatically switch to battery power when the external power source (AC adapter or optional vehicle adapter) is disconnected. Battery Power Saving Tips The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by:
Components and Operations 8• Setup power saving functions in Windows “Power Management” options (e.g. Windows 98/2000/ME/XP “Power Management Options”). • Setup power saving functions in BIOS “Power Management Setup”(mainly for non-ACPI/APM operating systems). • Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control. • Turn the computer into standby (by Sleep or Power button) when it is temporarily not in use. • Shut down the computer when it will not be in use for longer period of time. Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer gives the following “Battery Low” warnings: • Windows 98/2000/ME/XP battery low warning. • A series of beep warning. • The power LED flashes. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please: • Save and close the files you are currently working on then shut down the computer. or • Plug in AC or vehicle adapter to recharge the battery. Battery Gauge In Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, etc. you may check battery status from battery gauge. Click the power/battery icon to pop up the battery gauge window.
Components and Operations 9 Note: Battery characteristic varies on factors such as ambient temperature, charging method, load current, aging, etc. For example, at low temperature the chemicals of the battery are more inactive, thus decreasing the output power. The battery gauge should only be used as a reference. Please do not expect it to show the exact amount of the power remaining. There is no memory effect on Lithium Ion battery cells. However, discharge the battery to nearly empty every month will help calibrate the internal gauge. Charging the Battery Plug in the AC adapter or vehicle adapter to start the battery charging. If the battery is already full, the sense circuitry will stop high current charge in several minutes. The LED Indicator turns ON when the battery is charging and turns OFF when the battery charge is completed. To charge the Secondary Battery, simply install it into the computer and attach the AC adapter. The internal charger will charge the Primary and Secondary batteries simultaneously. Optional Dual Battery Charger can charge Primary and Secondary batteries externally. Boot Up and POST The computer turns ON and loads the operating system (such as Windows) into the system memory. This start-up procedure is called “boot up”.
Components and Operations 10 The ROM BIOS Power On Self-Test (POST) Each time the computer powers on, BIOS automatically performs a self-test of its memory and hardware devices. Timeout/Standby/Wake up In Windows Control Panel Power Options you may set preferred options. If timeouts are set, the sequences of function are as follows: • Normal → Timeout (Monitor, HDD) → Touch screen or any key → Wake up (Normal) • Normal → Timeout (Standby, Hibernate) → Power button → Wake up (Normal) Directly press sleep button or power button the functions are as follows: • Normal → Sleep button → Standby (also locks all function keys & touch screen) → Power button → Wake up (Normal) • Normal → Power button → Standby/Hibernate/Shut down/etc. (dependents on power button setting) Note: Timeout/Standby works under both AC adapter and battery mode. Some functions may not work under Windows NT or other non-Windows operating systems. Shutdown The following procedure is recommended in shutting down the computer: 1. Save any work you want to keep. 2. Make sure none of the disk drives are active (HDD, FDD, and CD-ROM drive). 3. Remove any diskettes, CD-ROMs, or other media. 4. Follow the shut down procedure of your Operating System. Failure to shut down the computer properly may result in loss of data or hardware damages. Automatic shut down is activated at battery exhaust. Be sure to finish your work and save all your data when the battery low warning appears.
Components and Operations 11RTC Battery backed up RTC (Real Time Clock/Calendar) is a built-in CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chip on-board. The RTC keeps track of the time and date while the computer is off. The CMOS chip also stores system setup information. RTC battery is also recharged when AC adapter is attached. Tips: When computer is not used for longer period, recharge it at least once per month to ensure RTC operation.
