Notebook PC E-Manual

The Power-On Self-Test (POST)

The POST (Power-On Self-Test) is a series of software-controlled

diagnostic tests that run when you turn on or restart your Notebook PC.

The software that controls the POST is installed as a permanent part of

the Notebook PC’s architecture.

Using POST to access BIOS and Troubleshoot

During POST, you can access the BIOS settings or run troubleshooting

options using the function keys of your Notebook PC. You may refer to

the following information for more details.

BIOS

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware

settings that are needed for system startup in the Notebook PC.

The default BIOS settings apply to most conditions of your Notebook

PC. Do not change the default BIOS settings except in the following

circumstances:

•

An error message appears onscreen during system bootup and

requests you to run the BIOS Setup.

You have installed a new system component that requires further

BIOS settings or updates.

WARNING! Using inappropriate BIOS settings may result to system

instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change the

BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.

Accessing BIOS

Restart your Notebook PC then press

during POST.

DVD-ROM Drive Information

The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You

can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles.

NOTE: The DVD-ROM Drive is available on selected models.

Regional Playback Information

Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio

and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is

the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture

industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.

Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is

most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate

geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for

speciﬁc geographic regions as deﬁned in “Region Deﬁnitions”below. Copyright

laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded

to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for

multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS

encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.

IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to ﬁve times using the viewer

software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the

region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If

resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

Internal Modem Compliancy

The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC

(US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved

in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal

connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due

to diﬀerences between the individual PSTNs provided in diﬀerent countries,

the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful

operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you

should contact your equipment supplier in the ﬁrst instance.

Notebook PC E-Manual

Overview

On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has

been published in the Oﬃcial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non

voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected

to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for

connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal

equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony

justiﬁed case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of

dual tone multi-frequency signalling.

Network Compatibility Declaration

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notiﬁed Body and the vendor:

“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed

to work and any notiﬁed networks with which the equipment may have inter-

working diﬃculties.”

Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will

indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any

notiﬁed networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diﬃculties.

The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network

compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also

advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on

another network.”

Up to now the Notiﬁed Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals

using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s ﬁrst modems which do not require

regulatory approvals in each individual European country.

Non-Voice Equipment

Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as

modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the

end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones

and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

UL Safety Notices

Required for UL 1459 covering telecommunications (telephone) equipment

intended to be electrically connected to a telecommunication network that has an

operating voltage to ground that does not exceed 200V peak, 300V peak-to-peak,

and 105V rms, and installed or used in accordance with the National Electrical

Code (NFPA 70).

When using the Notebook PC modem, basic safety precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and injury to persons, including

the following:

•

DO NOT use the Notebook PC near water, for example, near a bath tub,

wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a

swimming pool.

Required for UL 1642 covering primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary

(rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products. These

batteries contain metallic lithium, or a lithium alloy, or a lithium ion, and may

consist of a single electrochemical cell or two or more cells connected in series,

parallel, or both, that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by an

irreversible or reversible chemical reaction.

•

DO NOT dispose the Notebook PC battery pack in a ﬁre, as they may

explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions

to reduce the risk of injury to persons due to ﬁre or explosion.

•

DO NOT use power adapters or batteries from other devices to reduce
