2 Pointing Device  
Flat Point  
The flat point is a convenient pointing device, with which you can operate the mouse pointer with  
your finger movement. It consists of a touchpad and two buttons in front of it.  
The touchpad is equivalent to the ball of a mouse. Sliding your finger on it in a desired direction  
causes the mouse pointer to move in the same direction on the screen. Lightly tap on it for clicking,  
double-clicking, pointing, and dragging.  
The left and right buttons are equivalent to those on a mouse and their functions depend on the  
application you are running.  
Touchpad  
Right button  
Left button  
Scroll button  
Critical Points  
The pointer movement of a flat point may differ a little due to the difference of the dryness of  
the finger tip of a user and other reasons.  
Dew drop and dirt on the touchpad may result in malfunction. In such a case, remove dew  
and dirt from the surface by wiping with dry soft cloth. And when the surface is excessively  
dirty, remove the dirt by wiping with a soft cloth soaked with diluted neutral detergent.  
When using a separately available mouse, you need to make settings such as simultaneous  
use of a mouse in the Keyboard/mouse settingwindow in the BIOS setup menu.

Clicking means to tap the touchpad once or to  
push the left button once and release it at once.  
And right clickmeans to push the right button  
once.  
Double-clicking  
Double-clicking means to tap the touchpad twice  
consecutively or to push twice the left button  
quickly and release at once.The speed of double-  
click can be adjusted in the Mouse Properties  
dialog box.  
Pointing  
Pointing means to set the mouse pointer over  
menu and other icons on the screen.When you  
set the mouse pointer on a menu and if the menu  
has sub-menu under it (indicated with mark  
on the right end of the menu), the sub-menu  
appears.  
Dragging  
Dragging means to move the mouse pointer to  
your favourite place and tap the touchpad twice  
quickly. In the second tap, you must not release  
your fingertip from the surface and move it to  
the appropriate position, then release your  
fingertip. Or you may move the mouse pointer to  
your favourite position and move your finger tip  
on the surface of the touchpad with holding down  
the left button, then release your finger tip.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IMPORTANT NOTE  
Pay attention to the following points when the PC power is on:  
Do not cover the keyboard with paper or the like.  
It may interfere with the heat dissipation, causing a malfunction.  
After using the PC for a long time, you may feel that the PC surfaces are warm. This is  
because the PC is designed to dissipate the internal heat from the entire body, including  
the keys on the keyboard, once a certain heat level has been exceeded. So it is not  
abnormal.  
Depending on the use condition, the bottom surface of the PC may be hot. Do not use  
the PC for a long time in a condition where the bottom surface touches part of your body,  
e.g., placing it directly on the lap.  
Do not block the air-cooling fan openings, e.g., putting an object in front of them. It may  
cause the PC to be damaged.  
Critical Points  
POST stands for Power On Self Testand is a self-diagnosis test performed to ensure that  
no abnormality exists in the PC. POST automatically starts after the PC power is switched  
on and completes immediately before the operation system starts.  
If you switch the PC power off while POST is running, it is detected that POST is terminated  
abnormally. The PC counts the number of abnormal POST terminations. If the PC detects  
three continuous abnormal POST terminations, it will give you an error message when you  
start the PC for the fourth time. Pay attention not to accidentally switch the PC power off  
while the PC is performing POST.

After ensuring that the battery charging indicator has disappeared, remove the AC adapter.  
Critical Points  
After purchasing the PC or if you have not charged the battery for more than a month,  
charge it before use.  
Battery charging completes when the battery charging indicator (  
) disappears and the  
battery remaining indicator ( )on the left changes from flashing to lighting. Spend  
enough time so that the battery is fully charged.  
When the battery remaining power is 90% or more, the battery is not charged if the AC  
adapter is connected. Charging starts when the remaining power is 89% or less.  
When the MAIN switch is set off, the indicators on the status indicator LCD disappear awhile  
after charging completes.  
The battery charging performance may lower if the environmental temperature is too high or  
too low.  
The battery temperature is high immediately after use. Charging it under this condition may

SMART  
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and ReportingTechnology (SMART) is an emerging technology that provides  
near-term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is enabled the hard drive monitors  
predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If a failure is likely to  
occur. SMART makes a status report available so that the LifeBook can prompt the user to back up  
the data on the drive. Naturally not all failures are predictable.SMART predictability is limited to those  
attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In those cases where SMART can give advance warning,  
a considerable amount of precious data can be saved.
