Safety Instructions
Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation of your
notebook:
Do not allow small children to play unattended with electrical equipment.
Children are incapable of judging potential risks properly.
Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of
suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
Do not open the case of the notebook, the battery or the power adaptor.
When the case is open there is a danger of severe electric shock.
CD-ROM-/CDRW-/DVD-drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must
remain in their sealed casing. DO NOT remove the drive covers, as exposure
to the lasers may be harmful.
Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the notebook. This
may lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage
your notebook.
Slots and openings in the notebook serve to ventilate it. Do not cover up
these openings, because the notebook could overheat.
The notebook is not intended to be operated in a heavy industry company.
Operation under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to
your notebook.
Do not operate the notebook during a thunderstorm, in order to avoid
damage through lightning strike.
Never place objects on top of the notebook that would exert any pressure
on the display. There is a danger that even slight pressure may break the TFT
display.
There is a risk of injury if the TFT display breaks. Use protective gloves to
pack up the broken pieces and contact customer service to arrange for
proper disposal. It is important to thoroughly wash your hands after
handling a broken TFT display. There is a chance that chemicals may have
been released.
To avoid damage to the TFT Display, never open it more than 120º. Do not
forcibly open it.
In order to avoid damage to the display, do not touch it with your fingers or
sharp objects.
Never lift the notebook by the TFT Display; doing so could break the hinges.
Safety Instructions 4
Switch off your Notebook immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact
customer service …
… if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged.
Replace the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no
circumstances may a defective power cord be repaired.
... if the housing of the Notebook is damaged or fluids have leaked into it.
Have the Notebook checked by customer service first, because the Notebook
may not be safely operated otherwise and there may be a life-threatening
risk of electrocution!
Data Security
Attention!
Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an external
storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss
or damage to data storage units, and no claims can be accepted for
damages resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.
Set-Up Location
Keep your notebook and all connected peripherals away from moisture,
dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to do so can lead to Notebook
malfunction or damage.
It is highly recommended you do not use the notebook outdoors.
Operate the notebook and all peripherals on a stable, balanced and
vibration-free surface.
Do not leave the base of your notebook on your lap or any part of your body
for a long period of time. The notebook can become very warm while it is
turned on or charging and can cause discomfort or injury from heat
exposure.
In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable
but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course
of time. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to
counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this
product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly lowered.
Safety Instructions 5
Safety
Handling Components Aid Appendix
Ambient Temperature
The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between
+41° (5° C) and +95° F (35° C) and at a relative humidity between 20% and
70% (without condensation).
When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between
32° and 140° F (0° and 60° C).
Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove
the antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector
for additional safety, in order to protect your notebook from being damaged
by power peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.
Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before
turning it on or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in
temperature and humidity can create condensation within the Notebook
and may cause it to short-circuit.
For transporting the notebook keep the original packing.
Safety Instructions 6
Working in Comfort
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the
potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper
posture.
Back – While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported
by the chair’s backrest in erect position or angled slightly backwards.
Arms – Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides,
with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
Wrists – Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the
keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more
than 10 degrees up or down.
Legs – Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your
lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest
flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have
your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
Head – Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid
working with your head or trunk twisted.
Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid
fatigue.

Power Management
Your notebook offers automatic and modifiable power saving functions that you
can use to maximize battery life and reduce overall operating costs. The power
saving modes are known as sleep mode and hibernate mode.
Sleep Mode
When in sleep mode, the contents of the RAM of your notebook are preserved
while practically all other components of your notebook are shut down, reducing
your power consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the keypad, you
can bring your notebook back to the fully operational state. You will restart at
precisely the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The
computer takes less time to go into and come out of sleep mode, but uses more
power than hibernate mode.
Hibernate Mode
The hibernate mode is an alternative to a complete shutdown of the notebook. In
this mode all data from RAM (system and graphic data) are copied to the hard disk
as a file. As soon as the data has been safely saved, the notebook powers down.
When the notebook is switched on again, this file is written back to RAM by the
BIOS. In a few moments the notebook is in the exact state as when it was last used.
If while working on a document the notebook is closed (assuming the correct ACPI
setting), the notebook saves the data in RAM for you automatically. You will restart
at precisely the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The
computer uses no power while it is in hibernate mode, but it takes a little longer for
the computer to go into and come out of hibernation compared to sleep.
ECO Function
With the aid of this function you will be able to save energy and extend the life of
your battery if you are working with your laptop in battery operation.
The ECO function is switched on or off by means of the ECO quick start button
which can be found next to the On/Off button.
Attention!
The ECO function can only be used in battery operation.
Display 34

The Hard Drive
The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and
rapid data access.
The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application
programs and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your
notebook, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already
taken.
The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive,
which means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS
displays and what the operating system displays. The operating system of the
notebook, further application programs and backup files are located on the hard
drive and reduce its total capacity.
The hard drive is addressed as drive C and D.
Note
Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this
may result in loss of data. A flickering hard drive display is your
indication that the notebook is accessing the hard drive.
Usually your hard disk is divided into more partitions. The configuration of your
hard drive can be displayed and configured under "Disk Management". To
familiarise yourself with the hard drive configuration, search Windows Help for the
key word "Disk Management".
In your first partition (C:\) you will find the operating system, application programs
and the users’ documents.
The second partition (D:\) serves for data security and contains additional drivers
(D:\Driver) and tools (D:\Tools) for your notebook.
Note
You will also find in two otherwise non-overwriteable partitions the
system restoration start files ( p. 79), as well as installation files for
Windows® 7. These partitions are not visible and should not be
erased.

Regional Playback Information for DVD
The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3
audio data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program
incorporated by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.
Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are
the country specific playback restrictions.
In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are
released for certain regions. Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD
movie to a certain region (usually the region, in which it is sold).
DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations
require that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.
Note
The decoding software included with your Notebook may be
changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which
the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last
entered. Changing the region code after that will require factory
resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is
desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.

Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different
speed (e. g. 10 instead 100 Mbit/s) and your network computer
is unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to
the compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable,
otherwise use a patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the
problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the
problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of

Getting to Know Windows® 7
With Windows® 7, is launching the new operating system and successor to Vista®.
Windows® 7 contains a number of innovative functions and technologies, enabling
your notebook to work quickly and reliably, while being easy to use.
Windows® 7 - News
Improved Taskbar*
The Taskbar at the bottom of the screen enables you to start programs and change
between programs which are already running. Using Windows® 7, you can place
any program in the Taskbar, so that it will always open with one single click. You
can also arrange the symbols on the Taskbar simply by clicking on them and
dragging them to the desired position. The symbols are also considerably bigger, so
that they are easier to use. Moving the cursor over the symbols will display
miniatures of each file or each window open in the program. Moving the cursor
over the miniature displays a full-screen preview of the particular window. Moving
the cursor away from the miniature closes the full-screen preview.
Jump lists*
Jump lists offer a practical possibility when opening files which you have recently
worked on. To display recently used files, just right-click the application symbol on
the Taskbar. Right-clicking on the Word symbol will display recently used Word
documents. You can also easily place other files in the jump list if you would like to
have them readily at hand, in which case they will always be displayed. This allows
you to access documents which you use more frequently, with just a few mouse
clicks.
The jump lists from a few programs, such as Windows® Media Player, can be filled
in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, the Windows®
Media Player jump list might contain options to play all music or to re-open the
latest play list.
The Internet Explorer jump list displays frequently and most recently visited
websites. For certain programs, this enables rapid access commands which, in the
* * Function is limited way in the case of the Windows® 7 Starter version
Software 60
past, could only be retrieved from the program itself, such as the command to
create a new e-mail message.
Improved Desktop*
Windows® 7 simplifies working with the windows on the Desktop. This provides
you with more intuitive possibilities for opening and closing, as well as for
changing the size and for rearranging.
Windows® 7 makes the performance of everyday tasks even simpler. For example,
the Snaps function makes it easier than ever to compare two open windows. You
do not need to adjust the size of the open window for comparison. Simply pull the
window, using the mouse, to one of the edges at the side of the screen, and it will
fill half the screen. Snap the window on both sides, and it is already easier than ever
to compare two windows.
If you would like to display all Desktop mini-applications, simply move the mouse
into the lower right hand corner of the Desktop. This makes all open windows
transparent, so that the Desktop and all the mini-applications located on it will be
instantly visible.
Click on the Titlebar of the window, "shake" it, and all open windows will be
displayed as symbols on the Taskbar. "Shake" the window again, and the other
windows will be displayed again.
Better device management*
Windows® 7 enables you to close, manage and use all devices through the "Devices
and Printers" central function.
All devices are displayed in a central position.
With the new Device Stage Technology, Windows® 7 even goes one step further in
device management. Device Stage helps you use all compatible devices connected
to your computer. Thanks to Device Stage, now you display the device status in
one single window and carry out often-used commands. You will even find pictures
of the devices here, easily enabling you to see which devices are connected. The
manufacturer of the devices can even adapt Device Stage. If the manufacturer of
your camera, for example, prepares an adapted version of Device Stage, you can
see the number of photos on the camera and receive links to useful information
when you link the camera to the notebook.

Homegroup*
With homegroups, a new function of Windows® 7, the linking of home computers
is really simple. A home network group is created automatically, for example, when
you link the first notebook under Windows® 7 with the home network. The addition
of additional PCs with Windows® 7 to the home network group is quickly
accomplished. You can indicate exactly what should be released on each PC for all
other PCs in the home network group. Finally, the shared use of files on the various
home PCs, and on many other devices, is so simple that it is as if all files were
located on one single hard drive. This allows you to store digital photos on the
computer in your home office and then enjoy easy access to them from a laptop in
any other room in the house. Similarly, the printer in home office is automatically
released for all PCs in the house, as long as they are all in the home network group.
Beginners and persons changing from other Windows versions systems are advised
to read this material carefully.

Windows Activation
Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the
reduction of software piracy. Therefore Windows® 7 contains software-based
product activation technology. Your copy of Windows® 7 has already been
activated for your notebook.
Product activation is needed if some components of your notebook have been
replaced or you use a non-authorized BIOS. If necessary you can activate Windows®
7 as often as requested.
You will probably need to activate Windows® 7 by telephone even if Internet
Activation is available. This is due to the pre-activated SLP version which runs with a
special Product-ID. However, activation needs your unique Product ID which can
be found on the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your notebook housing.
When you call, please inform your agent that you are running an OEM-(SLP)
version of the software.
Product activation on your Notebook
In few cases it may still be required to activate Windows® 7. If activation via the
internet is acknowledged with an error message you should perform the following
steps.
1. Please select the telephone activation and click until the related screen
appears.
2. Now click on Change Product Key. A new window appears. Enter the
product key. This is located on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), on
the computer’s casing.
3. Acknowledge your entry and follow the instructions on the screen. Notify
your Microsoft consultant, if necessary, that you have purchased an OEM
license with your computer.

In BIOS setup (Basic Configuration) there are a number of configurable parameter
settings available for your notebook. For example, you can change the operating
mode of the interfaces, security features or power management.

System Restore
Windows® 7 provides a useful function (System Restore) enabling the storage of
the so-called Recovery points.
The system remembers the current configuration as a snapshot and returns to this,
if necessary. The advantage is that an unsuccessful installation can be cancelled.
Recovery points are created automatically by the system, but they can also be set
manually.
You can determine and configure yourself the maximum memory taken up by this.
You find this program in the program file under Accessories System Tools.
We recommend setting a recovery point before installing new software or drivers.
At this point if the system does not run properly this recovery point should enable
you to return to a workable configuration without deleting newly created
documents. In the next paragraph you will find your options for the repair of an
incorrect installation.
Correction
Windows® 7 includes various functions ensuring that the PC as well as the installed
applications and devices work correctly.
These functions assist you in solving the problems which might occur by adding,
deleting or replacing files required for the functionality of the operating system, the
applications and devices. The recovery function or functions you use depend on the
type of occurring problem or error. For detailed information refer to the Windows
help.
