Touchscreen
Page 2 of 5
Operation of the touchscreen
Operate the touchscreen with your finger or with an approved stylus
When using the touchscreen function, use only your finger or an approved stylus on the surface.
Operating the touchscreen with an object other than your fingertip or the stylus (a fingernail or
metal object, or other hard or sharp objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface,
causing the touchscreen to malfunction.
Do not apply too much pressure when operating the touchscreen
Only a light touch is required to operate the touchscreen. Applying too much pressure may
damage the surface.
Maintaining the performance of the touchscreen
When the touchscreen becomes dirty, wipe it with an approved soft cloth
The touchscreen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be
removed easily using a dry cloth (use only the approved soft cloth). If the dirt does not come off
easily, breathe on the surface and try again.
Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface
To improve the outdoor visibility of the display, a low reflection coating has been added. In order to
avoid scratches and peeling of this coating, an approved soft cloth has been included to wipe the
LCD surface of the computer. Before using the computer, be sure to read the instructions provided
below.
Be sure to wipe the LCD display to remove fingerprints, etc., with the soft cloth.
Do not wipe areas other than the LCD display with the soft cloth.
<How to use the soft cloth>
Use the soft cloth when it is dry. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
First, lightly wipe foreign particles and dust adhering to the LCD display on one side of the soft
cloth. Do not use force, since the LCD surface may be damaged with the foreign particles or
dust.

Touchscreen
Page 3 of 5
Next, wipe off fingerprint, etc., with the other side of the soft cloth.
After wiping off foreign particles and dust, wash the soft cloth (refer to the following) to remove
the foreign particles and dust from the soft cloth.
When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with neutral detergent. Do not use bleach or a fabric
conditioner (softener), or carry out sterilization by boiling.
If the LCD gets wet, wipe the surface lightly with the soft cloth.
While wiping the LCD display, the computer must be turned off.
Clean the touchscreen while the computer is powered off
Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on
the touchscreen is easier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.
Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty
When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric
conditioner (softener), or try to sterilize the cloth by boiling.
If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the touchscreen, and in fact may cause dirt
to adhere to the touchscreen.
Check the following to prevent the surface of the touchscreen from being
scratched
Are you using your finger or a stylus to operate the touchscreen?
Is the surface clean?
Is the soft cloth clean?
Are you using the stylus with the tip extended?
Is the tip of the stylus clean?
Is your finger clean?
Things to keep in mind when using the touchscreen
Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area
The touchscreen input area is defined by the LCD display screen. Touching the screen outside of
the display area may result malfunctions or damage to the touchscreen.
Do not apply excessive force to the touchscreen
Do not lift the computer while holding the LCD screen, or allow the screen to be twisted. Do not

place any objects on the LCD screen. Any of the above may cause the touchscreen glass to
break, or may damage the LCD screen.
Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments
The touchscreen may respond to operations more slowly when using the computer in
temperatures less than 5 ºC, but this is not a malfunction. Response time will return to normal
when the computer is returned to room temperature.
If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touched, or if
the LCD resolution changes, recalibrate the touchscreen
Perform the procedure of "Touchscreen Calibration" (below).

Important Battery Tips
How to use the battery with minimal deterioration
The battery is a consumable and, as such, its performance will gradually deteriorate. This
deterioration is accelerated under the following conditions.
When the battery is repeatedly charged
When the battery is used, charged or stored in a place with high temperature
To minimize deterioration of the battery and ensure a longer battery life, you must reduce the
number of charges and ensure that the temperature inside the battery does not become too high.
Bear in mind the following points.
Charge the battery in a temperature range of 10ºC to 30ºC {50ºF to 86ºF}
In places where the outside air temperature is high, the temperature inside the battery will also
become high. Do not charge the battery inside a vehicle with all its windows closed and exposed to
the hot sun or in other places where the temperature is high.
This computer’s battery will not be charged if its temperature is outside the allowable range. (At
such a time, the battery indicator blinks orange.)
We recommend charging the battery no more than once per day
Recharging the battery after every small use raises the total number of battery charges and speeds
battery deterioration.
To lower the total number of battery charges, we recommend recharging the battery no more than
once per day or when the remaining charge drops to 10% or less.
With this computer, in order to reduce the number of charges, the battery will not be recharged
immediately after it has been fully charged unless the remaining charge has fallen to less than
95%.
Charging the battery while the computer is powered off is recommended
If the computer’s power is on, the temperature inside the battery rises due to the effects of heat
from the CPU and other components. We recommend that you only charge the battery when the

computer is powered off.
Use the battery in the high temperature mode
High temperature mode is a function that prevents deterioration of the battery in high temperature
environments or when using the fully charged battery pack for a long period of time.
When the high temperature mode is selected, the battery capacity is reduced, and therefore the
battery operating time is shorter.
We recommend the high temperature mode setting when the computer is to be used under the
following conditions:
When the computer is to be used in a vehicle
When the computer is to be used in a place with high temperature
When the computer is to be used for extended periods of time with the AC adaptor
connected
When battery operation is not required for long hours (When the battery’s remaining
capacity does not often drop to 40% or below in normal temperature mode)
How to use the computer to maximize the battery operation time
Leave the computer off when it is not in use
Decrease the internal LCD brightness by pressing «Fn» + «F1»
Pressing «Fn» + «F1» will lower the degree of brightness, thereby reducing the power
consumption.
Before stepping away from your computer, press «Fn» + «F7» or «Fn» + «F10» to

Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] -[Power Options],
and select the desired power-saving setting
If no power plan that uses the power-saving function is shown, click [More power options] and then
click [Change plan settings] for the power plan you want to modify. Then change the power-saving
settings.
2 : Depending on the setting, [Start] may be displayed.
We recommend against using applications or screen saver that place a significant
load on the CPU
Some screen savers place a large load on the CPU. When using these screen savers, a significant
load is placed on the CPU even when the computer is not being used. We recommend that you do not
use screen saver that will drain the CPU.
Remove peripheral devices (USB devices, PC Cards, external mouse, etc.) when
not in use
When the computer is not going to be used for an extended period (a month or
more)
n order to maintain the battery performance, remove the battery with a remaining
charge of 30% to 40% from the computer, and store it in a cool, dark place
If the battery pack is kept installed in the computer, it will discharge gradually even when the
computer’s power is off. If this condition continues for a long period (several months or more), the
battery may overdischarge, causing its performance to deteriorate. In addition, this deterioration will
accelerate if the battery pack is stored inside a vehicle with all its windows closed and exposed to the
hot sun or in other places where the temperature is high. Store the battery pack where the
temperature is within the range of 10ºC to 30ºC {50ºF to 86ºF}.
Things to keep in mind when using the battery pack
Bear in mind the following points when installing and removing the battery pack
Do not install or remove the battery pack while the computer is in the sleep/standby mode.
Removal of the battery pack in this mode cause the data to be erased and cause the
computer to malfunction.
Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack.

If the terminals are dirty or damaged, the battery may not function properly or the
computer may not operate properly.
Charging time and discharging time differs depending on the computer’s power
status and temperature
It takes longer to fully charge the battery when the computer’s power is on. To charge
the battery more quickly, power the computer off, or put it in the standby or the
hibernation mode.
It takes longer to fully charge the battery in low temperature environments. The battery
discharges more quickly in low temperature environments.

Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of
the disc.
If the discs are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched.
Furthermore the writing speed may get slower and the data may not be correctly
written on or read from the disc. Other damage may cause a drive failure.
Note the following precautions.
Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no printing).
Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt, dust, fingerprints and scratches.
Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
Do not attach stickers to discs.
Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the disc. For
read-only discs, wipe off the condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the
disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until the condensation dries.
When not using discs, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.

Using DVD Media
To play DVD-Video, you need to use DVD playback software such as WinDVD.
Region code setting
DVD-Video is allocated to region codes according to where they are sold. To play the DVD-Video,
the player’s software and the drive must have the corresponding region code.
e.g., For U.S.A. and Canada: "1" / For Europe: "2"
The region code of the drive is not set at purchase. The operation depends on the DVD-
Video that is first played.
DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set at the same region code as the DVD-Video.
DVD-Video with multiple region codes:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select the region code and click [OK]. Play now begins.
C A U T I O N
- You can change the region code setting up to 5 times including the initial setting. Be
extremely careful because you cannot change the region code anymore after the fifth
change, even if you reinstalled the operating system.
- Any problem resulting from illegal changing or altering of the region code is the user’s
responsibility.
N O T E
- [Confirm Region] appears when the DVD-Video has only 1 region code and the drive is
set for another region code. ([Confirm Region] may not appear with some DVD-Video

Overview
Fingerprint’s Outline
The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token devices such as IC cards to
authenticate users. Therefore the passwords and token devices are exposed to the risk of being
lost, stolen and hacking.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses user’s fingerprints instead of passwords for security
authentication. You can use your fingerprints to start up your computer and log on Windows.
We recommend you use the Fingerprint Reader in combination with the TPM (Trusted Platform
Module) to increase the security level of your computer.
