[. . . ] However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · · · · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. [. . . ] The IR port comes with IrDA Serial Infrared Data Link Version 1. 1 compliance, which allows you to perform point-to-point wireless communications. You can use a SIR/FIR-specified application to transmit or receive data files with other systems equipped with an infrared port. You must set these modes in the BIOS before you start to install the IR driver and file-transferring applications. FIR (Fast Infrared) supports up to 4Mbps and SIR (Serial Infrared) supports up to 115. 2Kbps. Guidelines for using IR communication Follow the guidelines listed below when using the Infrared (IR) Communication: · · · · · Make sure the IR Mode in the BIOS Setup is properly set to the mode you would like to use. The angle between two Infrared Communication Ports should not exceed (±15°). The distance between the Notebook PC's IR and target device IR should not exceed 40 inches (1 m). Do not move either the Notebook PC or the other device during transmission of data. An error may occur if IR transmission is conducted in an environment with high levels of noise or vibration. Enabling Infrared 4. Using Infrared communication must be enabled in MS Windows. Right click on the infrared icon on the Windows taskbar and select "Enable infrared communication. " When infrared communication is enabled, moving the cursor over the icon will give its status. IMPORTANT: Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for long periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which will decrease the Notebook PC's performance. 47 Universal Serial Bus Port Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a peripheral bus standard developed by PC and telecommunication industry leaders that will bring plug and play of computer peripherals outside the system, eliminating the need to install internal expansion cards and drivers. The Notebook PC is equipped with one USB port, which uses a shielded receptacle connector. This cuts down your battery replacement cost. Charging the Battery Pack You can charge the battery pack by using the power adapter. When the power adapter is plugged in, the inserted battery pack will automatically recharge whether your Notebook PC is ON or OFF. It takes a few hours to receive a full charge when the power is OFF but takes much longer when the Notebook PC is in use. The battery is charging when the orange LED is flashing. When the LED is no longer flashing, the battery pack is fully charged. NOTE: The battery will stop charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high. 49 4. Using Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery Advantages (compared with traditional Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Using Battery Power A fully-charged Li-Ion battery pack will provide the system approximately 3 hours of working power. But the actual figure will vary depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the Notebook PC's CPU, main memory size and the type of display panel. The "Battery Warning" beeps are automatically enabled in Windows 95/98 and will continually sound when down to 10% (configurable in Windows 98) power. The processor will also be throttled down to decrease power use. In DOS, POWER. EXE must be enabled to use the Low Battery Warning Beep function in DOS. [. . . ] Each LPT port is configured to use a different IRQ and address assignment. MMX A set of 57 new instructions based on a technique called Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD), which is built into the new Intel Pentium PP/MT (P55C) and Pentium II (Klamath) CPU as well as other x86-compatible microprocessors. The MMX instructions are designed to accelerate multimedia and communications applications, such as 3D video, 3D sound, video conference. North Bridge The CPU to PCI interface, also contains the memory and cache controllers. [. . . ]
