Usi n g You r Flip Start
On - the - Go
A
s a mobile computer, the FlipStart is designed to
be used nearly anywhere you can use a full-sized lap-
top computer. To best take advantage of the features
of your FlipStart, you can customize power manage-
ment settings and practice responsible power usage
to maximize the life of your battery.
Tips for using your FlipStart
on-the-go
Use InfoPane to keep track of important
information without starting Windows. You
can synchronize your Microsoft Office Outlook
e-mail, contacts, and calendar information
with InfoPane, and refer to it on-the-go
without starting Windows. Use the Jog Dial
to turn on the InfoPane display when the lid
is closed. Also, use the Jog Dial together with
the Escape button to navigate InfoPane.
Note:
If you would like InfoPane to check for new e-
mail messages when the lid is closed, you must
first enable this option in the InfoPane section of
FlipStart Control Center.
Use FlipStart Navigator to choose
programs, perform tasks, and configure
settings from within Windows using the
Jog Dial and Escape button, rather than
mouse input devices and the keyboard.
Add frequently used programs such as
Bluetooth Settings and the Control Center
application to your Navigator Shortcuts
for quick access. For more information, see
Navigator Help in the Navigator application.
Maximizing battery life
Turn off wireless components when you don't
use them regularly. Disabling the Bluetooth
or Wi-Fi feature, for example, helps to save
power and extend the device's battery life. For
more information, see Control Center Help.
Customize your device's power management
settings in Windows and in Control Center
to best fit your usage patterns. For more
information, see the Control Center Help.
Avoid processor or hard drive intensive
applications and tasks, such as video
playback or video editing.
For more information on configuring your FlipStart
for mobile use, see the User Guide available in Help
Central.
