Handling and Maintenance
Operation environment
lPlace the computer on a flat stable surface not subject to shock, vibration, and danger of dropping. Do not place the computer upright or turn it over. If the computer is exposed to an extremely strong impact, it may become damaged.
lOperating environment
Temperature: Operation :
Storage : 30% to 90% RH (No condensation)
Even within the above temperature/humidity ranges, operation for a long time in extreme en- vironments, smoking nearby, or operation in places where oil is used or where there is a lot of dust will result in the product deterioration and will shorten the product life.
*1 Do not expose the skin to this product when using the product in a hot or cold environment. (?? page 5)
If the computer is wet in temperatures of 0 ??C or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry off the computer in such temperatures.
lDo not place the computer in the following areas, otherwise the computer may be damaged.
??Near electronic equipment. Image distortion or noise may occur.
??In extremely high or low temperature.
lAs the computer can become hot during operation, keep it away from items that are sensitive to heat.
Handling cautions
This computer is designed to minimize shock to parts such as the LCD and the flash memory drive, but no warranty is provided against any trouble caused by shock. Be extremely careful when handling the computer.
lWhen carrying the computer:
??Turn off the computer.
??Remove all external devices, cables, Smart Cards and other protruding objects.
??Do not drop or hit the computer against solid objects.
??Do not grip the display part.
lWhen you board an airplane, take the computer with you and never put it in your checked lug- gage. When using the computer on airplane, follow the airline???s instructions.
lWhen carrying a spare battery, put it in a plastic bag to protect its terminals.
lAvoid any harmful substances such as oil from getting into the touch pad. The pointer may not work correctly.
lBe careful not to get injured by dropping or getting hit when carrying the computer.
lUse only the included digitizer pen to touch the screen. Do not place any object on its surface and do not press down strongly with
lDo not use the screen when dust or dirt (e.g., oil) is on the screen. Otherwise foreign particles on the screen/digitizer pen can scratch the screen surface or obstruct the digitizer pen operation.
lUse the digitizer pen only for touching the screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the digitizer pen and result in scratches on the screen.
lThe digitizer uses electromagnetic induction and may not work properly near strong electrical field or magnetic field such as:
??Near AM radio base station or relay station antennas
??Near CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic field noise
Move the digitizer away from such locations so it will work properly.
l The pointer cannot follow the digitizer pen movement if you move the digitizer pen too quickly.
24
n When the battery indicator does not light on
The battery indicator may not light on even if the AC adaptor and the battery pack are correctly connected to the computer, due to the following reasons.
lThe AC adaptor???s protection function may be working. In this case, pull out the AC cord and wait for more than 1 minute before reconnecting the AC cord.
n When using peripheral devices
Follow these instructions and the Reference Manual to avoid any damage to the devices. Care- fully read the instruction manuals of the peripheral devices.
lUse the peripheral devices conforming to the computer???s specifications.
lConnect to the connectors in the correct direction.
lIf it is hard to insert, do not try forcibly but check the connector???s shape, direction, alignment of pins, etc.
lIf screws are included, fasten them securely.
lRemove the cables when you carry the computer. Do not pull the cables forcibly.
nPreventing your computer from unauthorized use via wireless LAN/Bluetooth/Wireless
WAN
<Only for model with wireless LAN/Bluetooth/Wireless WAN>
lBefore using wireless LAN/Bluetooth/Wireless WAN, make the appropriate security settings such as data encryption.
n Battery Recalibration
lThe battery recalibration may take a long time due to the large battery capacity. This is not a malfunction.
<When performing ???Battery Recalibration??? after shutting down Windows>
??Full charge: Approximately 2.5 hours
??Complete discharge: Approximately 3 hours
When performing ???Battery Recalibration??? without shutting down Windows, it may take more time to charge / discharge.
n Sensors
This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, magnetic sensor, ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any software that is compatible.
As the accuracy of each sensor output is dependent on the operating environment and other con- ditions, the results should only be used as a reference.
The acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic sensor are located at the bottom left of the LCD. The detection results of each sensor may vary depending on how you are holding the com- puter, the application software you are using, and other factors.
lAutomatic brightness adjustment
The computer is equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function that adjusts the display screen based on the ambient light sensor. You can configure the automatic adjustment function as follows.
ADisplay ???Charm??? and touch - [Change PC Settings] - [General] - [Screen] - [Adjust my screen brightness automatically].
A Touch (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Hardware and Sound] - [Power Option]. B Touch [Change plan settings] for the power plan currently used.

The ambient light sensor is located at the top of LCD.
The ambient light cannot be detected properly if this area is obstructed or dirty.
lMagnetic sensor
The magnetic sensor on the computer operates by detecting geomagnetism. Therefore, the magnetic sensor may not function properly and it readings may be inaccurate, especially in the following environments.
??Inside or near steel structures such as buildings or bridges
??Inside or near automobiles, or near train power lines
??Near metallic furniture or appliances
??When the AC adaptor or other peripheral devices are brought closer to the computer
??Near magnets, speakers, or other objects with strong magnetic fields
The magnetic directions indicated by the magnetic sensor may not be accurate immediately after purchase or in environments with poor magnetic fields.
In such cases, turn on the computer and move it as follows.
AHold the computer so that its screen side is facing upward and level.
BWhile keeping the computer level, rotate it 90 degrees or more clockwise.
CReturn the computer to position A, and rotate it 90 degrees or more counterclockwise.
