Important Safety Information  
Although the notebook is highly robust, it is not indestructible. To prevent damage from  
occurring, please pay attention to the following:  
Avoid exposing the notebook to strong shocks or vibrations.  
Keep it away from intense heat (radiators, direct sunlight).  
Protect the notebook from electromagnetic interference. This will also prevent data  
loss.  
Don’t expose it to moisture. This is an electrical device!  
Be sure to use the correct power supply.  
Always use an approved power adapter.  
The power adapter requires a fluctuation-free and  
uninterrupted power supply. If you have any questions,  
consult your local electricity supply company.  
The power adapter must be fitted with a grounded  
(earthed) plug.  
Never pull on the cable to unplug the power supply  
– always pull the plug itself.  
Disconnect the external power supply (power adapter  
or car adapter) before cleaning the computer.

battery of the same type. Dispose of the battery accord-  
ing to the manufacturers instructions.  
Servicing  
Do not service your computer yourself! You could invalidate your warranty  
rights and expose yourself and the device to the risk of electrical shock. If  
servicing is required, consult qualified service personnel. Disconnect the  
computer from the power supply.  
If the following problems occur, consult qualified service personnel:  
-
-
-
Power adapter or power cable is damaged or frayed.

Wireless LAN  
(wireless network - abbreviation = WLAN)  
Your notebook may contain aWireless LAN module (optional).This module allows you to set  
up a wireless-based network, and to connect with an existing wireless network. It works  
according to the IEEE802.11a+b+g standard.  
WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a local area (e.g. in  
a company or campus building, or in a public building such as an airport). WLANs can be  
used in temporary offices, in locations where it is not possible to set up extensive cable  
installations, or to extend an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building can  
work at different times.  
There are two different ways to operate a WLAN.  
In fixed WLANs, wireless stations (devices with radio network cards or external modems)  
set up connections with wireless access points, which act as bridges between the stations  
and the existing network backbone. In Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANs several users can set  
up a temporary network within a limited area such as a conference room, without using  
access points, and providing there is no need to use network resources.  
UK  
In 1997 the IEEE confirmed the standard 802.11 for WLANs; this set a data transfer rate  
of 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). Under 802.11a+b+g, the new governing standard,  
the maximum data transfer rate is 54 Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 or 5 GHz (Giga-  
hertz).

Additional safety notes for units with wireless LAN  
A wireless LAN component is integrated into your Notebook. For this reason you must make  
sure that you comply with the following notes on safety:  
Switch off the Notebook when you are in an aircraft or  
while driving a car.  
If you are in a hospital, an operating room or close to an  
electronic medical system, switch off the wireless compo-  
nents in the Notebook!The radio waves which are transmit-  
ted could disrupt the working of the medical equipment.  
Keep the Notebook at least 20 cm away from a heart pace-  
maker, otherwise there is a risk that the radio waves could  
disrupt the normal working of the pacemaker.  
The radio waves which are transmitted could give rise to  
interference noise in hearing aids.  
When its radio components are switched on, do not place  
the Notebook close to inflammable gases or in an environ-  
ment which could be at risk of explosion (e.g. paint shop),  
since the radio waves which are transmitted could set of a  
fire or an explosion.  
The range of the wireless connection depends on the envi-  
ronmental and other ambient conditions.  
When transferring data over a wireless connection, unau-  
thorizedThird Parties can also receive the data.  
MAXDATA Computer GmbH is not responsible for disruptions to radio or television recep-  
tion which are caused by unauthorized alterations to this unit. MAXDATA also accepts no  
responsibility for the replacement or the exchange of connecting cables and units which  
were not specified by MAXDATA Computer GmbH. The user alone is responsible for the  
elimination of disruptions caused by this type of unauthorized alteration; he is also respon-  
sible for the replacement or the exchange of the units.

Radio frequencies for units with wireless LAN  
The following information was correct at January 2002. You can obtain current information  
from the appropriate authorities in your country (e.g. www.regtp.de).  
FREQUENCIES  
Radio network cards and adapters are designed in accordance with IEEE-Standard  
802.11b+g for use in the ISM frequency band (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) between 2.4  
and 2.4835 GHz. Because of the DSSS-procedure (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum), each  
of the 11 usable radio channels takes up a width of 22 MHz; this means that up to three,  
independent channels are available (e.g. 3, 8 and 11).The following table lists the authorised  
channels in your country:

sult in serious damage  
Fig. 20  
to the device.  
The LAN Port  
The built-in network adapter enables your computer to connect to the Internet via a  
10/100/1000 Mbps network or DSL.  
The connection is made via an Ethernet network cable and RJ-45 connectors. These are  
inserted on the back of the computer and into an available network hub or DSL socket.  
Under no circumstanc-  
es should you con-  
fuse a network cable  
RJ-45 connector with  
an ISDN connector!  
NEVER attempt to con-  
nect the LAN adapter  
Fig. 21  
to an ISDN telephone

Installation Instructions  
Restoring the Drivers  
Your system is supplied in a preloaded condition. This means that all the data and drivers  
that the system requires are already on the hard disk. In case you erase and/or format your  
hard disk drive, the system drivers are stored on the Utility CD supplied with the computer.  
After reinstalling the operating system (for example, with the Recovery CD), this allows you  
to restore your notebook to a usable condition.  
The Utility CD  
The Utility CD will run automatically after you place it in the drive. If this is not the case,  
you can run the CD as follows: select <My Computer”> <CD Drive> and then the “utility.  
exe” file.  
You can select the driver that you want to install in the “Drivers” section. Recommended:  
Install all listed drivers from top to bottom.  
In addition, you can later install the advanced functions you require in the “Utility” sec-  
tion.  
When using the Utility CD, please follow the menu instructions.
