The Power-on Self Test (POST)
The Power-on Self Test (POST) 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 Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) 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
(on selected models)
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.
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.
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
multifrequency 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”
Notebook PC E-Manual

Network Compatibility Declaration
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.

pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the
equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which
would make any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series

Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
•
•
This device may not cause harmful interference.
