Page 53: Removing A Pc Card (Pcmcia)
Inserting a PC Card (PCMCIA) 1. Insert the PC card with the connector side first. When the PC card is fully inserted, the PC card bay door can close normally with- out striking the PC card. Be sure the PC card is level when inserting. -
Page 54: Modem And Network Connections
Using the Notebook PC Modem and Network Connections The built-in modem and network model comes with both an RJ-11 and an RJ-45 port. RJ-11 telephone cables have two or four wires and are used to connect telephones to telephone outlets found in the walls of residential homes and some commercial buildings (some commercial buildings may have telephone wir- ing designed for dedicated phone systems that may not be compatible). -
Page 55: Network Connection
Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note- book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be category 5 (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub (not a 100BASE-T4 hub). -
Page 56: Ir Wireless Communication
Using the Notebook PC IR Wireless Communication The Notebook PC is equipped with a conveniently located Infrared (IR) Communication Port (see for location). The IR port comes with IrDA (Infrared Data Association) Serial Knowing the Parts Infrared Data Link Version 1.1 compliance, that allows you to perform point-to-point wireless commu- nications. - Page 57 CAUTION! 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 de- crease the Notebook PC’s performance. AC Power System The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook PC.

Page 58: Using Battery Power
Using the Notebook PC Using Battery Power A fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel. -
Page 59: Power Management Modes
Power Management Modes The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these fea- tures through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. -
Page 60: Thermal Power Control
Using the Notebook PC Power Savings In addition to reducing the CPU clock, this mode puts devices including the LCD backlight in their lower active state. The Notebook PC enters Standby mode (low priority) when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time. The timeout can be set through BIOS setup (lower priority) and Win- dows power management (higher priority). -
Page 61: System Memory Expansion
System Memory Expansion Memory must be installed in order to use the Notebook PC. Under some circumstances, you may find additional memory is required. This is particularly true as applications become more complex. Expanding sys- tem memory is one method of increasing system performance by de- creasing hard disk access. - Page 62 Using the Notebook PC Tip: You can use a USB keyboard with a hub to allow easy connection of a USB mouse or other USB devices to the keyboard. This allows you to use only a single connection to the Notebook PC. External Keyboard Connection To allow easier data entry, you may connect any PS/ 2 keyboard as shown here.

Page 88: Proper Finger Placement
Appendix Fingerprint Authentication System (cont’) Proper Finger Placement While the matching algorithm of the fingerprint authentication system is quite tolerant to non-optimum finger placement, centering the core on the sensor will give the best possible performance. Find your fingerprint cores and verify that the core location of your fingerprints is approximately as shown above. -
Page 89: Using The Full Fingerprint
Fingerprint Authentication System (cont’) Using the Full Fingerprint Capture the full area of the fingerprint by contacting the sensor with the finger placed flat on the sensor, as opposed to presenting only the tip of the finger. The fingertip alone contains insufficient image data for a high-quality fingerprint. The ridges in this area are mostly parallel lines, with few distinct minutiae from which to construct an identification template. -
Page 90: Centering The Core
Appendix Centering the Core In some cases, if the core of the fingerprint is not visible in the image on the screen, the software may incorrectly reject a registered user. In this case, simply lift the finger and replace it on the sensor with the core more closely centered on the sensor. -
Page 91: Internal Modem Compliancy
Internal Modem Compliancy Protocols and Compliancy The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/ 482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. - Page 92 Appendix This table shows the countries currently under the CTR21 standard.

The BIOS instructions are built into the computer’s read-only memory. BIOS parameters can be configured by the user through the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS can be updated using the provided utility to copy a new BIOS file into the EEPROM.
- Page 95 Appendix IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/66 or 100 IDE devices can achieve up to 33MB/Sec transfer. IEEE1394 Also known as iLINK (Sony) or FireWire (Apple).
