Touchpad

The built-in seamless touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its

surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the

surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides

optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad basics

The following items show you how to use the touchpad:

•Move your finger across the touchpad (2)

(2)

(2)(2) to move the cursor.

English

•Press the left (1)

(1)

(1)(1) and right (4)

(4)

(4)(4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to

perform selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar

to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the

same as clicking the left button.

•Use the 4-way scroll (3)

(3)

(3)(3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right

a page. This button mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of

Windows applications.

Note:

Note:Note: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry

and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; hence,

the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping harder will

not increase the touchpad's responsiveness.

Note:

Note:Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on

your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in

Windows Control Panel.

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:

• Employs current battery technology standards.

• Delivers a battery-low warning.

The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the

AC adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to

recharge the battery while you continue to operate the computer.

However, recharging with the computer turned off results in a

significantly faster charge time.

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. Contact your dealer for details on ordering a spare

battery pack.

Maximizing the battery's life

Like all other batteries, your computer's battery will degrade over

time. This means that the battery's performance will diminish with

time and use. To maximize your battery's life, you are advised to

adhere to the recommendations set out below.

Conditioning a new battery pack

Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a

"conditioning" process that you should follow:

1 Insert the new battery without turning the computer on.

2 Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.

3 Disconnect the AC adapter.

4 Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.

5 Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.

6 Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.

English

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and

discharged three times.

Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't

been used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more

than two weeks, you are advised to remove the battery pack from the

unit.

Warning: Do not expose battery

Warning: Do not expose battery Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°C

packs to temperatures below 0°C

packs to temperatures below 0°C packs to temperatures below 0°C

affect the battery pack.

affect the battery pack.affect the battery pack.

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your

battery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this

procedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery

charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by

the following usage patterns:

• Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery

inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to

remove the battery pack after it is fully charged.

• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as

described above.

• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach

the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life

span of about 300 charges.

Installing and removing the battery pack

Important!

Important! Important! Before removing the battery from the unit, connect

the AC adapter if you want to continue using your computer.

Otherwise, turn off the computer first.

To install a battery pack:

1 Align the battery with the open battery bay; make sure that the

end with the contacts will enter first, and that the top surface of

the battery is facing up.

2 Slide the battery into the battery bay and gently push until the

battery locks in place.

English

To remove a battery pack:

1 Slide the battery release latch to release the battery.

2 Pull the battery from the battery bay.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the

battery bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a

mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC

power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery

with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge

time.

Note

NoteNote: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for

the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables

you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.

Checking the battery level

The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the

cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's

present charge level.

Optimising battery life

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery

operation, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving

recharging efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set

out below:

• Purchase an extra battery pack.

• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go

use.

• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw

power (for selected model).

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended

temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F). Higher temperatures

cause the battery to self-discharge faster.

• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

Time-shift functionality

Arcade also has a time-shift function that can be enabled. To create an instant

replay, Arcade records the TV broadcast as a file, creating a slight lag between

the live broadcast and the TV content that you watch. (The instant replay file

cannot be saved, however, and you cannot watch this file in the Recorded TV

window.) You can navigate forward and backward within the file to create an

instant replay or to skip over commercials.

space in order to enable the instant replay function.

the live TV broadcast, going to the end of the instant replay
