Introducing the Notebook PC About This User's Manual Notes For This Manual Safety Precautions Preparing your Notebook PC NOTE: Photos and icons in this manual are used for artistic purposes only and do not show what is actually used in the product itself. 1 About This User's Manual Introducing the Notebook PC You are reading the Notebook PC User's Manual. This User's Manual provides information on the various components in the Notebook PC and how to use them. The following are major sections of this User's Manuals: 1. [. . . ] Depending on the DVD audio disc and installed software, it may require that you open a DVD player to listen to DVD audio. You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows speaker icon on the taskbar. 41 4 Using the Notebook PC Flash Memory Card Reader Normally a memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC has a single built-in memory card reader that can use many flash memory cards as shown in the example below. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the internal high-bandwidth PCI bus. Flash memory card compatibility varies depending on Notebook PC model and flash memory card specifications. Flash memory card specifications constantly change so compatibility may change without warning. Flash Memory Card Examples xD Picture Card MMC (Multimedia Card) MMC Plus RS-MMC (Reduced Size) (with MMC adapter) SD (Secure Digital) MiniSD (with SD adapter) Memory Stick Micro (with MS adapter) Memory Stick (MS) Memory Stick Magic Gate (MG) Memory Stick Select Memory Stick Duo/Pro/Duo Pro/MG (with MS adapater) IMPORTANT!Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, formatting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur. To prevent data loss, use "Windows Safely Remove Hardware" on the taskbar before removing the flash memory card. 42 Using the Notebook PC Hard Disk Drive 4 Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable hard disk drive. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. When replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required. 1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models. Twisted-Pair Cable The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional. ) Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernetcontroller. LAN connector is the larger of the two Network Hub or Switch Network cable with RJ-45 connectors 4 Using the Notebook PC Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models) 4 The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing the IEEE 802. 11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2. 4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802. 11 standards allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards. The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances up to 40 meters between the client and the access point. To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) features. These are examples of the Notebook PC connected to a Wireless Network Ad-hoc mode The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC to connect to another wireless device. No access point (AP) is required in this wireless environment. (All devices must install optional 80211 wireless LAN adapters) Notebook PC Desktop PC PDA Infrastructure mode Notebook PC Desktop PC The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook PC and other wireless devices to join a wireless network created by an Access Point (AP) (sold separately) that provides a central link for wireless clients to communicate with each other or with a wired network. (All devices must install optional 80211 wireless LAN adapters) Access Point PDA 47 4 Using the Notebook PC Windows Wireless Network Connection Connecting to a network 1 Switch ON the Wireless function if necessary for your model (see switches in Section 3) 2 Press [FN F2] repeatedly until Wireless LAN ON or WLAN & Bluetooth ON is shown 2b Or double click the Wireless Console icon on the taskbar and select either the Wireless LAN + Bluetooth or just the Bluetooth 3 You should see the "Not Connected" network icon 4 Right click on the network icon and select Connect to a network 5 Select "Show Wireless" if you have many networks in your area 6 Select the wireless network you want to connect to 48 7 When connecting, you may have to enter a password 8 After connection has been established, "Connected" will be shown Using the Notebook PC Bluetooth Wireless Connection (on selected models) 4 Notebook PCs with Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be Notebook PCs, Desktop PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs.
