 VII   Power Conservation                                         This computer consumes much less power than conventional computers. However, power consumption may be further reduced by configuring the Power Management Setup.  It is recommended to enable power-saving functions when operating this computer, as Power Management functions do not impact system performance while saving power.     Power Safety                                                 There are specific power requirements for this computer:   Only use an approved power adapter for this computer.   There is a 3-prong grounded plug of the power adapter. The third prong serves as Ground and is an important safety feature. If a compatible outlet is not available, consult qualified electricians for installation.   When unplugging the power cord, please be sure to unplug from the plug head instead of pulling from the wire.   Make sure the socket and any other extension cords you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.   Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies.    Warning: Before any upgrade procedures, make sure the power is turned off, and all the cables are disconnected. Also, it is advisable to remove your battery in prevent from turning the computer on accidentally.
 VIII   Battery Precautions                                            Only use batteries designed for this computer. Wrong and incompatible batteries may cause explosion, leakage or damage to the computer.   Do not remove the battery from the computer while it is powered on.   Do not continuously use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer is able to continuously work with a damaged battery, the circuit damage may occur and possibly cause fire.   Always use the notebook’s system or charger to recharge the battery. Incorrect recharging may cause the battery to explode.   Do not try to repair a battery pack by yourself. Refer to any battery pack repair or replacement, please contact with to your service representative or qualified service personnel.   Please dispose damaged battery promptly and carefully. Explosion or leakage may occur, if the battery is exposed to fire, improperly handled or discarded.

  Chapter Three - 20Managing Power Chapter Three - Managing Power   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 (100V or 240V) 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.  Connecting the AC adapter:    Plug the AC cord to the adapter.   Plug the other end of the AC cord into the wall outlet. Make sure the green LED on the adapter turns on.     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 AC power is ready.   Note:  To ensure system stability, please connect your computer to an external power source when operating at -20 °C ambient temperature.

  Chapter Three - 22Managing Power Battery Power Saving Tips  The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by:   Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options).   Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control.   Use standby option when computer is temporarily not in use.   Shut down the computer when it will not be for a long-time use.  Replacing Battery  When the battery is nearly exhausted, there are two ways to keep your computer working. Connect the AC adapter and the power cord designed for this notebook computer to start charging is one method; directly replace a charged battery designed for this notebook computer may be the other one.       Power Conservation                                                     This computer consumes much less power than conventional computers. However, power consumption may be reduced by configuring the Power Management Setup properly.  It is recommended the power saving functions to be enabled even when not running on battery power. Power Management will not degrade performance while saving power.   Note:  Always remember to turn OFF the power before replacing the battery.
  Chapter Three - 23Managing Power   Supporting ACPI                                                    Your notebook computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. With ACPI and an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, the feature will allow you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving. By supporting ACPI, the AC adapter LED and the Power indicator LED will show in different ways. The followings are the detailed description.  Sleep: AC adapter LED is ON (while connecting with power) Power LED indicator is flashing; other LED indicators are OFF  Under Hibernation: AC adapter LED is ON (while connecting with power) Power LED indicator is OFF; other LED indicators are OFF  Shutdown:  AC adapter LED is ON (while connecting with power) Power LED indicator is OFF; other LED indicators are OFF
  Chapter Three - 24Managing Power   USB Fast charging                                                    Your computer supports USB fast charging feature, enabling to quickly charge your fast-charging compatible devices. But note, fast charging is not supported for all power modes. The following table shows details for USB Charging information:  Mode  USB3.0 Charging Features AC  Fast charging supports Power off  Battery No charging AC Normal charging Power on  Battery Normal charging AC  Fast charging supports S3  Battery  Fast charging supports     Note:  When enable USB fast charging from USB CHARGE control in BIOS, please cold boot your computer to enable the function.

  Chapter Eight - 58Maintenance and Service Chapter Eight - Maintenance and Service   Cleaning                                                     ALWAYS turn OFF the power, unplug the power cord and remove the battery before cleaning.  The exterior of the system and display may be wiped with a clean, soft, and lint-free cloth. If there is difficulty removing dirt, apply non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner to the cloth and wipe.    An air gun is recommended for cleaning water and dust. For salty water please clean with fresh water then blow-dry with an air gun. Be sure not to turn the computer upside-down while there is water being applied.   Troubleshooting                                              Should the computer fail to function properly, the troubleshooting steps below may be followed.    Check AC/vehicle adapter, battery, and the power source.   Minimize the configuration, i.e. remove extra peripherals and devices.   Remove the software suspected.   Set BIOS fail-safe default.   Re-install operating system and application software.

Shipping instructions:  1.  Remove any personal disks or other media.  2.  Use the original shipping container and packing materials, if possible.  3.  If the original packing materials are not available, wrap the equipment with soft material (e.g. PU/PE form) then put the wrapped equipment into a hard cardboard shipping box.  4.  Include a sheet with the following information: (Note: Please keep a copy of this sheet for your records)  Name  Address  Unit serial number   Place and date of purchase or the original invoice number   Date of failure     A DETAILED Description of the problems you have encountered   A list of the hardware/software configuration, if applicable.  5.  Clearly mark the outside of the shipping box with the RMA #. If RMA # is not present on the shipping box, receiving will be unable to identify it and it might be returned.  6.  Unless prior arrangements have been made, the customer is responsible for all shipping costs. Unauthorized use of the company’s shipping accounts is not permitted.
