Using the Battery 107 Tips for Using Your ComputerThe following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.•Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.•The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.•Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other options.•Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer. Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside. •Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.•Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a memory module when the computer is on.•Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.•Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and stretch your muscles. •Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your files.•A walkie-talkie must be kept more than 1 meter away from the device. Since a walkie-talkie transmits a very strong signal, it may cause a computer malfunction.
Using the Battery 108 Travelling with Your ComputerAir TravelIf you are travelling by air, follow these tips:•Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer with your baggage.•Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.•Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.Please follow the instruction of the corresponding facilities regarding the use of wireless devices (wireless LAN, Bluetooth , etc.) when in a wireless communication restricted area (e.g. airplane, hospital , etc.).Handling SpillsDo not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:•If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.•If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.•If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.Storing the Computer for Long PeriodsIf you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should discharge the battery completely then remove the battery from the computer. This extends the life of the battery.

Glossary 138 GlossaryAC adapterThe AC (or alternating current) adapter regulates current coming into your computer from the wall outlet. The current at the wall outlet is alternating current and needs to be changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your computer can use it for power.ACPIACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing hardware interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative hardware implementations and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to use such hardware interfaces.BIOSBIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called firmware) that is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to communicate with the screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without using programs on the hard disk. The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded on a flash memory chip that can be updated if needed. BootTo start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through all computer self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only.Boot diskA disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.ByteThe basic unit of measure for computer memory. A character—such as a letter of the alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in kilobytes (1,024 bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes).Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an introductory book on computers.Cache memoryCache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache.CardBusCardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed.CMOS memoryCMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved.
Glossary 139 COM portCOM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer.Compact DiscA compact disc (CD).Conventional memoryThe first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly access this memory without using memory-management software.DiskThe device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk.Disk cacheA software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application.A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.DMA (direct memory access)A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance.DPMSDisplay Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with this can be managed by the Power Management features found in the system setup.Floppy diskA removable disk, also called floppy or diskette.Hard driveAlso called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten or corrupted.The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook computer. Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in desktop computers, their maximum storage capacity may be less than that of desktop hard drives. However, because of their smaller size, the drives handle shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is important for a notebook computer.I/OInput/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed through an I/O address.I/O addressI/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed through the I/O port address.IRQ (interrupt request line)The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when the device needs the microprocessor’s services. The number of IRQs is limited by industry standards. LCD (liquid-crystal display)The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop monitor. Most desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which work by moving an electron
Glossary 140 beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen. The phosphor dots light up to show the image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric current passing through the liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through them, creating an image.MB (megabyte)1,024 kilobytes.Megabit1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes.Operating systemA program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O. Application programs and users can request operating-system services. A user might request operation-system services to copy files or format a disk. An application program might use the operating system to obtain keyboard input, write data to a file, or write data to a screen.PC CardPC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop all PC Cards. PC Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters, ATA cards, and memory cards.PC slotThe PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed.PixelA pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels are so close together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen displays thousands or millions of pixels.Plug and PlayA plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components to work with your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or IRQs.RAM (random access memory)The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory. You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary, and is erased when the system is turned off.Refresh rateThe refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to the screen. A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering.ResolutionThe resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels the computer’s screen can display. For example, a resolution of 800 x 600 means that the screen can display 800 pixels in row and can display 600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher the resolution and the better the image.ROM (read-only memory)Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the instructions for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM).
Glossary 141 SectorAlso known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB).Shadow RAMA write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer boots, the BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The BIOS can be executed much faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in shadow RAM until you turn off the computer.TFT (thin film transistor) LCDA TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This technology provides the best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also sometimes called an active matrix LCD.
