CHAPTER 2
Operating Your Computer
This chapter provides information about the use of the computer.
If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the
operating basics. If you are already a computer user but are new to
notebook computers, you may choose to read only the parts containing
information unique to your computer.
Described in this chapter are the operating basics of these components:

Starting and Stopping the Computer
There are a number of ways to start and stop the computer.
Starting the Computer
You always start the computer using the power button.
A computer starts up with an operating system (OS) existing on the
storage device such as the hard disk; or from a floppy disk or CD if you
have the docking station installed. The computer will automatically load
the OS after you turn it on. This process is called booting.
NOTE: An operating system is the platform for all your software application programs
to run on. The most widely used operating system today is Microsoft Windows.
Stopping the Computer
When you finish a working session, you can stop the computer by
turning off power or leaving the computer in Standby or Suspend mode:
To stop in
this mode…

Operating Your Computer 2-3
Using the Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus a Fn. key added for specific functions.
The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:
Typewriter keys
Cursor-control keys
Numeric keys
Function keys
Typewriter Keys
Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. The
Control key is normally used in combination with other keys for
program-specific functions. The Alternate key is normally used in
combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape
key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a
program and canceling a command. The function depends on the
program you are using. When the lock keys (Caps Lock, Num Lk, and Scroll
Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators light up on the
computer’s device indicators.
Cursor-Control Keys
NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know
exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a
vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
Operating Your Computer 2-4
Numeric Keypad
A 15-key numeric keypad is embedded in the typewriter keys as shown
next:
Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations.
When Num Lk is on, the numeric keys are activated; meaning you
can use these keys to enter numerals with “Fn” key.
NOTE:
Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on the computer. If so,
use the numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead.
Euro Symbol
If your Windows supports the Euro dollar sign , you can press
the sign on the keyboard.

Using the Touchpad
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may
damage the touchpad surface.
NOTE: For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pads
clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force.
The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to
communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the
pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons.
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad and two buttons. To
use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The
rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display.
As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also
called cursor) on the screen moves accordingly. When your
finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate yourself by
lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using
the touchpad:
Term Action
Point Move your finger on the pad until the cursor points to the
selection on the screen.
Click Press and release the left button.
-or-
Tap gently anywhere on the pad.
Double-click Press and release the left button twice in quick succession.
-or-
Tap twice on the pad rapidly.
Operating Your Computer 2-8
Term Action
Drag and
drop
Press and hold the left button, then move your fingers
until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release
the button (drop) when you finish dragging your selection
to the destination. The object will drop into the new
location.
-or-
Gently tap twice on the pad, and on the second tap, keep
your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your
finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your
destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the
selected object will drop into place.
Scroll To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the
working area on the screen.
To move vertically, place your finger on the right edge of
the pad and slide your finger up and down along the edge.
To move horizontally, place your finger on the bottom
edge of the pad and slide your finger left and right.
This function works only after you install the touchpad
driver supplied with the computer and it may not work for
all applications.
TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the
touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer be
valid.
Conguring the Touchpad
You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For
example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two
buttons so that you can use the right button as the left button and
vise versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer,
the speed of the pointer, and so on.
To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or
IBM PS/2 driver if you are using Windows. However, you can
install the touchpad driver supplied with your computer to take
advantage of more powerful features. (For information on
installing the driver, see “How to Use the CD” in Chapter 6.)

Using the Touchscreen (Optional)
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the
touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. Use the included
touchscreen pen instead, which can be stretched for better grip and handling.
The touchscreen is a touch-sensitive device that allows you to
communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the
pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons.
The touchscreen needs a special device driver support called a
PenMount Utility, which allows you to easily use the computer
without any external pointing device.
The touchscreen pen is located at the handle of the computer
(refer to “Rear Components” on chapter 1). To use the
touchscreen, place the touchscreen pen or your forenger on the
touchscreen. As you slide your pen or fingertip across the screen,
the pointer, or cursor, on the screen moves in the same direction
across the screen as your fingertip or pen moves across the screen.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using
the touchscreen:
Term Action
Point Move your finger or pen on the touchscreen until the
cursor points to the selection on the screen.
Click Tap gently anywhere on the touchscreen.
Double-click Tap twice on the touchscreen rapidly.
Drag and
drop
Press lightly on the touchscreen and move your finger or
pen until you reach your destination (drag). Finally,
release your finger or pen (drop) when you finish
dragging your selection to the destination. The object will
drop into the new location.

Using the Floppy Disk Drive (optional)
Your computer may come with the optional floppy disk drive as
drive A through the optional docking station.
A floppy disk drive allows you to install new programs into your
computer, or to store information on a removable floppy disk so you can
transfer information from one computer to another.
The floppy disk drive is a high-density 3.5-inch one, which can
read and write to either double-density (2DD) 720-KB floppy
disks or high-density (2HD) 1.44-MB floppy disks. Notice that
both types of floppy disk have an arrow imprinted on the front
upper left corner , and a sliding write-protect tab on the bottom
left corner, as illustrated above. When opened, the write-protect
tab prevents data from being written to, or erased from, the floppy
disk.
Operating Your Computer 2-12
Inserting and Ejecting Floppy Disks
To insert a floppy disk, hold it with the arrow facing up and
towards the drive. Slide the disk into the drive until it clicks into
place.
To eject a floppy disk, first ensure that the floppy disk drive in-use
indicator is off, and then press the eject button on the drive. When
the floppy disk pops out of the drive, remove the floppy disk and
store it properly.
CAUTION:
Never turn off or reset the computer while the floppy disk drive in-use indicator is
on.
Always store your floppy disks in a safe, clean container, to protect them from the
environment and magnetic fields.
A floppy disk must be formatted before you can use it. (To know how to format a
floppy disk, see your operating system manual.)
Operating Your Computer 2-13
Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with a hard disk drive as drive C.
A hard disk drive is a storage device with non-removable, rotating,
magnetic storage platters inside it. It is where your operating system and
application software programs are stored.
Your hard disk drive is a 2.5-inch IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
hard disk drive. This type of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable
mass storage by integrating all the control circuitry necessary for
operation directly onto the drive itself. This allows the drive
manufacturer to carefully optimize drive performance.
CAUTION:
Make regular backups of your data files from your hard disk drive to floppy disks or
other storage media.
Never try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is powered
on. Doing so can result in loss of data, and can damage the computer and the
hard disk drive’s sensitive circuitry.
Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator is on.
Operating Your Computer 2-14
Using the CD/COMBO Drive (optional)
Your computer may come with an optional CD-ROM drive, COMBO
drives, or through the optional docking station. This drive is usually
configured as drive D.
The drive uses removable 5.25-inch silver CD-ROM discs, which look
like standard music CDs. It is an ideal medium to use for distributing
multimedia because of the huge amount of data that a disc can store.
A CD-ROM drive can read CD-ROMs, audio CDs, CD-R, and COMBO
disk. A CD-RW drive not only reads the above discs but also writes to
CD-R and CD-RW discs.
CAUTION:
1. When inserting a CD, do not use force.
2. Make sure the CD is correctly inserted into the tray, and then close the tray.
3. Do not leave the CD tray open. Also, avoid touching the lens in the tray with your
hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the CD-ROM may malfunction.
4. Do not wipe the lens with rough surface materials (such as paper towel).
Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe the lens.
FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices:
“Caution, Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.”
