Introduction

============

The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of

them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools

and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.

This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not

fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType

font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very

least.

This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG

Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in

commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main

points are that:

We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be

interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form,

without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only

parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your

documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or

without modifications, in commercial products.

We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no

liability related to The FreeType Project.

Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to

use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the

following text:

"""

Portions of this software are copyright (C) <year> The FreeType Project

www.freetype.org.

"""

Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you

actually use.

Figure 4-2 Using the fingerprint sensor

1. Fingerprint sensor

Fingerprint cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint

function.

Total fingerprints which can be registered are 10 pcs per account.

Points to note about the Fingerprint Sensor

Be aware of the following considerations when using the fingerprint sensor.

A failure to follow these guidelines might result in damage to the sensor,

sensor failure, fingerprint recognition problems or a lower fingerprint

recognition success rate.

Do not scratch or poke the sensor with your nails or any hard or sharp

objects.

Do not press the sensor strongly.

Do not touch the sensor with a wet finger or any wet objects. Keep the

sensor surface dry and free from water vapor.

Do not touch the sensor with a soiled or dirty finger as minute foreign

particles of dust and dirt might scratch it.

Do not paste stickers or write on the sensor.

Do not touch the sensor with a finger or any other object which might

have a build-up of static electricity on it.

Observe the following before you place your finger on the sensor whether

for fingerprint enrollment/registration or recognition:

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.

Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching any metal

surface. Static electricity is a common cause of sensor failures,

especially when the weather is dry.

User's Manual 4-5

Clean the sensor with a lint-free cloth. Do not use detergent or any

other chemicals to clean the sensor.

Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as

they might result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the

fingerprint recognition success rate:

Soaked or swollen finger, for example as might occur after taking

a bath

Injured finger

Wet finger

Soiled or oily finger

Extremely dry skin condition on finger

Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate:

Enroll two or more fingers.

Enroll additional fingers if a recognition failure often occurs when using

already enrolled fingers.

Check the condition of your finger. Any conditions which have

changed since enrollment, such as injury, rough skin, and extremely

dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily, soaked or swollen fingers, might lower the

recognition success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the

finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate might be

lowered.

As the fingerprint for each finger is different and unique, you should

ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints

are used for identification.

The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique

characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there might be instances

where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to

insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints.

The recognition success rate might differ from user to user.

Battery

This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.

provides power for the internal real-time clock and calendar function and

also maintains the system configuration while the computer is turned off. If

the RTC lasting time completely runs out, the system will lose this

information and the real-time clock and calendar will stop working.

User's Manual 4-6

You can change the Real-Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.

Refer to Real-Time Clock for further information.

Care and use of the battery pack

This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle

your battery pack properly.

Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for

detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature from 5

through 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might

leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate, and the battery life

might be shortened.

Never replace the battery by an incorrect type, which could possibly

result in an explosion.

Never expose a battery to excess heat, extremely low temperatures or

extremely low air pressure at high altitude during use, storage or

transportation as that may result in an explosion or the leakage of

flammable liquid or gas.

Do not mechanically crush or cut the battery as that may result in an

explosion. Always dispose of used batteries according to the

instructions.

Charging the battery

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery

indicator flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power

remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery

indicator flashes, the computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not

lose any data, and automatically turns itself off.

You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack

and plug the other end into a working outlet. The DC IN/Battery indicator

glows amber while the battery is being charged.

Charging Time

The following table shows the approximate time required to charge an

exhausted battery fully.

Battery type Power off Power on

Battery pack

(45.6 Wh)

about 2.4 ~ 2.7

hours

about 2.5 ~ 2.8 hours

User's Manual 4-7

Be aware that the charging time when the computer is on is affected

by ambient temperature, the temperature of the computer and how

you are using the computer. If you make heavy use of external

devices for example, the battery might scarcely charge at all during

operation.

Note that charging time will vary depending on the ambient

temperature, the computer's internal temperature, and how the

computer is being used. For example, whether the display is set to

shut off automatically when idle, whether you make heavy use of

external devices powered by the computer, or if the computer's

internal storage drive is being accessed frequently by an application.

The battery might not be charged depending on how the computer is

being used, and the charge of battery decreases and battery might not

be fully charged sometimes.

Charging notice

The battery might not begin charging immediately under the following

conditions:

The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it

might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full

capacity, charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to 35°C (41°F

to 95°F).

The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance, leave the

AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin

charging.

The DC IN/Battery indicator might show a rapid decrease in battery

operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following

conditions:

The battery has not been used for a long time.

The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer

for a long time.

In such cases, do the following:

1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power

on until the system automatically turns itself off.

2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack on the computer and to

a wall outlet that is supplying power.

3. Charge the battery until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows blue.

Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal

capacity.

Monitoring battery capacity

Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods:

Clicking the battery icon on the Windows Taskbar

User's Manual 4-8

Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window

Wait several seconds to monitor the remaining operating time because

the computer needs time to check the remaining capacity of the

battery pack and then calculate the remaining operating time, based

on this together with the current power consumption.

Be aware that the actual remaining operating time might differ slightly

from the calculated time.

With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery capacity will

gradually decrease. In view of this, it is noted that an often used, older

battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both

are fully charged.

Maximizing battery operating time

The usefulness of a battery depends on how long it can supply power on a

single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

Processor speed

Screen brightness

Internal storage drive power off period

How often and for how long you use the internal storage drive and

external disk drives, for example, optical disc

How much charge the battery contained to begin with

How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the

battery supplies power

Where you store your programs and data

Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the

keyboard - closing the display saves power.

The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low

temperatures.

System Sleep Mode

System Hibernation Mode

Display power off period

Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if

you are frequently turning the computer off and on.

Battery pack exhausted time

When you turn off the power of your computer with the battery pack fully

charged, the battery pack will exhaust within the following approximate

period:

Battery type Sleep Mode Shut Down Mode

Battery pack

(45.6 Wh)

about 6 ~ 6.2

days

about 200 days

User's Manual 4-9

Be aware that the battery pack exhausted time is affected if there are any

external devices connected.

Extending battery life

To maximize the life of your battery pack, do the following at least once a

month:

1. Turn off the computer's power.

2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power. If it

does not turn on, then go to Step 4.

3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find

that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,

continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged. However,

if the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning

to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.

4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack on the computer and to

a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN/Battery indicator

glows amber to indicate that the battery pack is being charged.

However, if DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow, this indicates that

power is not being supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor

and the power cord.

5. Charge the battery pack until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows blue.

Chapter 6

Troubleshooting

Dynabook has designed this computer for durability, however, should

problems occur, you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter

to help determine the cause.

You should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might go

wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.

Problem-solving process

If you observe the following guidelines, resolving problems will be much

easier.

Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking

further action might result in data loss or damage, or you might

destroy valuable problem-related information that can help solve the

problem.

Observe what is happening. Write down what the system is doing and

what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred.

Make a screenshot of the current display.

Also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this chapter

are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem-solving

techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few might

require help from Technical Support. If you find you need to consult others,

be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

Preliminary checklist

You should always consider the simplest solution first. The items detailed

in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a

serious problem:

Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on

the computer - this includes your printer and any other external device

you are using.

Before you attach an external device, you should first turn off the

computer, then when you turn the computer back on, it recognizes the

new device.

Make sure that all optional accessories are configured properly in the

computer's setup program and that all required driver software has

been loaded (refer to the documentation included with the optional

accessories for further information on its installation and

configuration).

User's Manual 6-1

Check all cables to ensure that they are correctly and firmly attached

to the computer - loose cables can cause signal errors.

Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for

loose pins.

Check that your disc media is correctly loaded.

Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a

permanent error log - this helps you to describe your problems to Technical

Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made helps to

identify the problem faster.

Analyzing the problem

Sometimes the computer gives you clues that can help you identify why it

is malfunctioning. In view of this, keep the following questions in mind:

Which part of the computer is not operating properly - keyboard, SSD,

display panel, Touch Pad, Touch Pad control buttons - as each device

produces different symptoms.

Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its

configuration is set properly.

What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or

random characters? Make a screenshot of the current display and, if

possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the

computer, software, or operating system.

Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as

loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.

Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do

they stay on or blink? Write down what you see.

Do you hear any beeps, if so, how many, are they long or short and

are they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer

making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.

Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to Technical

Support.

Software The problems might be caused by your software

or disk. If you cannot load a software package,

the media might be damaged or the program

might be corrupted. In these instances, try

loading another copy of the software if possible.

If an error message appears while you are using

a software package, you should refer to the

documentation supplied with it as this usually

includes a problem-solving section or a summary

of error messages.

Next, check any error messages against the

operating system documentation.

User's Manual 6-2

Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, you should

then check the setup and configuration of your

hardware. First run through the items in the

preliminary checklist as described previously,

then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to

identify the source. The next section provides

checklists for individual components and

peripherals.

Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an

authorized part or product, make sure that the device or software can be

used with your computer. Use of incompatible devices might cause injury

or might damage your computer.

If something goes wrong

Your computer does not respond to the keyboard commands

Information for Wireless Devices

Wireless Technology Interoperability

The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems with Direct

Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) /Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:

The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision a/b/g/n/ac/ax),

as defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers.

User's Manual 7-3

Bluetooth® Modules are designed to be interoperable with any product with

Bluetooth® wireless technology that is based on Frequency Hopping

Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:

Bluetooth® Specification (depending on the model you purchased), as

defined and approved by the Bluetooth® Special Interest Group.

Logo certification with Bluetooth® wireless technology as defined by

the Bluetooth® Special Interest Group.

This Bluetooth® product is not compatible with devices using Bluetooth®

Version 1.0B specifications.

The wireless devices have not completed verification of connection and

operation with all devices which are using the Wireless LAN or Bluetooth®

radio technology.

Bluetooth® and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio

frequency range and might interfere with one another. If you use

Bluetooth® and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you might

occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even

lose your network connection.

If you experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your

Bluetooth® or Wireless LAN.

Wireless devices and your health

Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency

electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by wireless products

however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by

wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Because wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio

frequency safety standards and recommendations, Dynabook believes

wireless products are safe for use by consumers. These standards and

recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and

result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who

continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of wireless products might be

restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of

the organization. These situations might for example include:

Using the wireless products equipment on board of airplanes, or

In any other environment where the risk of interference to other

devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices

in a specific organization or environment (for example, airports), you are

encouraged to ask for authorization to use the wireless device prior to

turning on the equipment.

User's Manual 7-4

Wireless LAN Technology

The wireless communication function of the computer supports some

wireless communication devices.

Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth®

functions.

Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi®) or Bluetooth® functionalities

near a microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or

magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source

can disrupt Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® operation.

Turn off all wireless functionalities when near a person who might

have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device.

Radio waves might affect pacemaker or medical device operation,

possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your

medical device when using any wireless functionality.

Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic

control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire

detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

It might not be possible to make a network connection to a specified

network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the

new network (*) has to be configured for all computers connected to

the same network in order to re-enable network connections.

* Make sure to use new network name.

Security

Dynabook strongly recommends that you enable encryption

functionality, otherwise your computer is open to illegal access by an

outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider might

illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or

destruction of stored data.

Dynabook is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or

illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

User's Manual 7-5

Country/region where the product was purchased

Type of product

Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.

Although Wireless LAN networking products have been designed for

operation in the license-free 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, local radio

regulations might impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless

communication equipment.

Radio Frequency Band 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a,

n, ac and ax)

Band 2.4 GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision

b/g, n and ax)

The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the

wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range might

travel larger distances.

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the

antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density

materials.

Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the

radio that might either absorb or reflect the radio signal.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to

5.25 GHz frequency range.

High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the

bands 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz and that these radars could

cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Bluetooth® wireless technology

Some computers in this series have Bluetooth® wireless communication

function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices

such as computers, printers, and mobile phones. When it is enabled,

Bluetooth® provides a safe and trustworthy wireless personal area network

environment that is quick and easy.

You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth® functions of the computer and an

external Bluetooth® adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth®

wireless technology has the following features:

Security

Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:

Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible

to falsify the origin of a message.

Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

Certain computer chassis are designed to accommodate all possible

configurations for an entire product series. Therefore, be aware that your

selected model might not have all the features and specifications

corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the computer

chassis.

CPU

CPU performance in your computer product might vary from specifications

under the following conditions:

use of certain external peripheral products

use of battery power instead of AC power

use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video

applications

use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections

use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided

design applications

use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000

meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)

User's Manual 7-19

use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41

-86°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are

approximate and might vary depending on the specific computer

model - contact Technical Support for details).

CPU performance might also vary from specifications due to design

configuration.

Under some conditions, your computer product might automatically shut

down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost

data or damage to the product when used outside recommended

conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data

by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum

performance, use your computer product only under recommended

conditions. Read additional restrictions in your product documentation.

Contact technical service and support, refer to Technical support section

for more information.

64-Bit Computing

Certain 32-bit device drivers and/or applications might not be compatible

with a 64-bit CPU operating system and therefore might not function

properly.

Memory (Main System)

Part of the main system memory might be used by the graphics system for

graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system

memory available for other computing activities. The amount of main

system memory allocated to support graphics might vary depending on the

graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size, and other

factors.

Battery Life

Battery life might vary considerably depending on product model,

configuration, applications, power management settings, and features

utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the

design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are

achieved on select models and configurations tested by Dynabook at the

time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery

might not charge while computer is consuming full power.

After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery loses its

ability to perform at maximum capacity and needs to be replaced. This is a

normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see

the accessories information that is shipped with your computer.

Internal Storage Drive Capacity

1 Gigabyte (GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.

The computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using

User's Manual 7-20

powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and

therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also

be less if the product includes one or more pre-installed operating systems,

such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software

applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity might vary.

LCD

Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the

brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic

characteristic of LCD technology.

Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode.

Screen dims when the computer is operated on battery power and you

might not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.

Wireless LAN

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which

wireless LAN can reach might vary depending on surrounding

electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.

The actual transmission speed is lower than the theoretical maximum

speed.

Copy Protection

Applicable copy protection standards included in certain media may

prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.
