Only use the AC Adapter that is provided with the notebook or  
that which is recommended by the manufacturer. Using non-  
recommended or non-approved parts may cause damage or increase  
the risk of a fire or explosion. In the event that another AC Adapter is  
required, advice should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent,  
in order to make sure that the correct part is recommended.  
Please follow the battery installation guidelines. Incorrect installation  
of batteries may increase the risk of a fire or explosion.  
General Safety Precautions  
In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your notebook, we ask  
that your carefully follow these safety precautions.  
I
CAUTION: Using your notebook for long periods of time, with  
the base resting directly on exposed skin, can cause injury,  
burns or discomfort from the heat buildup that is generated from  
the base of your portable computer.  
Only replace old batteries with the same or an alternative compatible  
battery that is recommended by GIGABYTE or an authorized  
GIGABYTE Service Centre.  
After removing the notebook from the box, please ensure that all  
packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as  
they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials  
should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again  
for safe transportation of the notebook.  
Before connecting the notebook to the power outlet, make sure that  
the voltage rating of the AC Adapter is compatible with the power  
specification in the country where you are located. A detailed list of  
the power specification for different countries can be found on Page  
23~26.  
Ensure that the AC Adapter and power cable are placed in a safe  
area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adapter  
should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing  
resting on or covering it.  
When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum  
of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the total  
ampere capacity for the circuit.  
Before removing the battery from the notebook, make sure firstly  
that the notebook is switched off and secondly that the AC Adapter  
is disconnected from the electrical wall socket. Once this is done, it  
would be safe to remove the battery.  
Before turning on the notebook, ensure that it is placed on a level  
surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which  
will aid in proper cooling.  
Do not obstruct the air vents of the notebook and do not insert any  
foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit  
or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a  
fire or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage  
to the notebook.  
Do not carry the notebook battery, loose in your handbag,  
backpack or pocket where loose metal objects (money, keys,  
chains, pens, etc) may be present. The metal objects can short  
circuit the terminals of the battery resulting in overheating that  
could cause a fire hazard. In the event that you need to  
transport the battery separately from the notebook, please  
place it inside an anti-static bag.  
Do note press or touch the display panel.

waiting to pass through the metal detector.  
● Discard old worn out batteries according to the instructions on Page  
10. Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause an explosion.  
Notebooks and hard drives can pass through X-Ray machines but  
never allow these to pass through a metal detector. This can cause  
data loss to the hard drive.  
Never attempt to repair or service the notebook yourself. Please  
refer all repairs and servicing to qualified service personnel at a  
GIGABYTE Authorized Service Centre.  
Never place your notebook in the overhead storage compartment as  
this can make it susceptible to damage caused by turbulence that  
may be experienced during the flight or in other case theft. You can  
store your notebook under your seat, where it is always in sight.  
You should take every precaution to protect your notebook from dust,  
dirt, liquid spillage, food droppings, extreme weather conditions and  
direct exposure to sunlight.  
II  
Travel Tips  
Although notebooks are designed to be as robust as possible to cater  
for a mobile lifestyle, extreme care and caution should be taken when  
travelling. When travelling by land, sea or air, every precaution should be  
taken to make sure that the notebook is well secured when it is not in use.  
When travelling between different climates, from one extreme to  
another, condensation may occur inside the notebook. If this does  
happen, please allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate  
completely, before attempting to switch on.  
The most essential accessory you should have when travelling is a  
good carry case for your notebook. The case should be well padded  
to protect your notebook from drops and bumps, etc and should be  
big enough to hold the size of notebook.  
When travelling from extremely colder to extremely warmer climates  
in a short space of time, and vice versa, please allow the notebook  
some time to adapt to the change in environment.  
Make sure there is enough room to carry your AC Adapter and spare  
battery etc. Only carry the necessary items in your carry case, as the  
weight can become tedious especially when walking long distances  
or waiting in long queue’s.  
Usage Tips  
When travelling by air, never book your notebook with checked  
baggage. Always declare it as hand baggage so that you can carry  
it into the airplane cabin with you. Most airlines allow two pieces of  
hand baggage with one of them being a bag or carry case with a  
portable notebook. Please consult your local airline for more details.  
When placing your notebook on an X-Ray, make sure that you keep  
a close eye on it when it is on the conveyor belt. Hold on to your  
notebook until the last minute before placing it on the conveyor.  
In some airports it could be stolen while you are stuck in a queue  
When unplugging the power connector from the notebook, please  
hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect.  
Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the  
cable or the notebook.  
In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the notebook  
from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables  
that may be connected to the notebook.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Do not use the notebook near water sources, like bathtubs, washing  
basins, kitchen or laundry sinks or swimming pools. Liquid that can  
spill onto the notebook by accident can cause electric shock to you  
and damage to the notebook.  
LCD:  
It is best to use a microfiber cloth to clean the surface of the LCD.  
If there are any marks or stains present, it would be wise to use  
commercially available LCD cleaning kit. When using a commercially  
available LCD cleaning kit, never spray the liquid directly onto the  
screen. You must spray it onto the cleaning cloth and then wipe the  
screen clean.  
III  
Cleaning Tips  
When cleaning the notebook, please make sure that the notebook  
is switched off and disconnected from the power source and that the  
battery is removed.  
If this is not available then you can mix 50% isopropyl alcohol and  
50% distilled water to clean the surface of the LCD screen.  
Dip the lint free soft cotton cloth into the solution, wringing out excess  
liquid.  
Notebook Cover:  
Use a microfiber or lint free soft cotton cloth and kitchen detergent (mix 5  
parts water to 1 part detergent).  
The cloth must be damp but not dripping with liquid.  
Take care not to let any excess liquid drip into the notebook.  
Start from the top of the LCD surface and wipe from side to side.  
Continue with this until the entire LCD surface has been cleaned.  
Wipe the display with a clean, dry lint free soft cotton or microfiber  
cloth.  
Wet the cloth and wring out all excess liquid and wipe the surfaces  
clean.  
Take extra care to make sure that the cloth is damp and not very wet,  
especially when cleaning around the air vents and other openings as  
too much liquid in the cloth could drip onto the external components  
causing damage to the notebook.  
Wait for the LCD surface to dry completely and then close the lid.  
Be careful when using Isopropyl Alcohol as this is a flammable  
liquid. Please keep away from children, naked flames or a  
notebook that is switched on.  
Do not clean the keyboard with this liquid.  
Keyboard:  
It is advisable to use a can of compressed air to clean debris that  
maybe caught underneath the keys.  
Isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the keys by dipping a lint- free  
soft cloth into it, wringing out the excess liquid and wiping the keys.  
Allow to dry for at least 5 minutes.

2.2 Battery Maintenance Guidance  
Before you use your notebook on the road, you will have to charge the  
battery pack. The battery pack begins to charge as soon as the notebook  
is connected to external power using the power adapter. Fully charge the  
battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must  
completely charge before the notebook is disconnected from external  
power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the notebook  
is turned OFF. Please note the battery stops charging if the temperature  
is too high or the battery voltage is too high.  
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will  
gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity  
is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will  
power the notebook decreases.  
The run time of your battery will vary depending on the product’s  
configuration and the applications that you run. Routinely check the  
battery’s charge status.  
Battery terminals must avoid contact with any metallic substance.  
For preventing shortage, avoid silver coins, tinsels and any other  
metallic substances to contact the + and - terminals of the battery. For  
example, It might happen by inserting the batteries to a coat pocket  
or a leather handbag with some metallic substances mounted on it  
(metal buttons or zippers). There is high possibility of causing short  
circuits and connection damage of the battery.  
9
NOTE: Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery  
pack will discharge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must  
continued to be charged every three month to extend recovery  
capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.  
Consider replacing the battery with a new one if you note either of the  
following conditions:  
1.The battery run time drops below about 80% of the original run time.  
2.The battery charge time increases significantly.  
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries require routine maintenance and  
care in their use and handling. Read through below instruction and your  
notebook will achieve the maximum battery life span.  
3.If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be  
sure to follow the storage instructions in P10. If you do not follow the  
instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check  
it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it.  
Replace it with a new battery.  
Battery Maintenance  
Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either  
in the notebook or in storage. When a battery has been unused  
for 3months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the  
battery as appropriate.  
Charging  
The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To  
recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the notebook  
is connected to the AC adapter. The charge times will be significantly  
longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you  
want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend  
mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Please  
always follow the charging instructions provided with your notebook.  
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to  
three years or300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One  
charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged,  
and fully recharged again. Use a two to three year life expectancy for  
batteries that do not run through complete charge cycles.

Handling Precautions  
Low Battery State  
When the battery level is low, a notification message appears. If you  
do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues  
to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your  
notebook goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will  
be saved once the notebook reaches this point.  
Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery.  
Do not short the external contacts on a battery.  
● Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.  
● Do not expose a battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F).  
● Keep the battery away from children.  
10  
Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibration.  
Do not use a damaged battery.  
CAUTION: To protect your notebook from damage, use only the  
power adapter that came with it because each power adapter  
has its own power output rating.  
● If a battery pack has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids. Dispose of  
a leaking battery pack (see Disposal and Recycling section ).  
Once your notebook goes into suspend mode as a result of a dead  
battery, you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a  
source of power either from an adapter or a charged battery. Once you  
have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to  
resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some  
time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the power indicator  
stops flashing and then goes out, in which case you have lost the data  
that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use  
your computer while an adapter charges the battery.  
In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes  
thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids,  
until no evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.  
Transportation  
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations  
before transporting a Lithium-Ion battery. Transporting an end-of-life,  
damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically  
limited or prohibited.  
Storage  
● Charge or discharge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity  
Disposal and Recycling  
before storage.  
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling regulations  
that vary by country and region. Always check and follow your applicable  
regulations before disposing of any battery. Contact your local battery  
recycling organization. Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste  
electronic equipment in standard waste receptacles. Place only  
discharged batteries in a battery collection container. Use electrical tape  
or other approved covering over the battery connection points to prevent  
short circuits.  
● Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at least once  
every three months.  
Remove the battery and store it separately from the notebook.  
● Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).  
CAUTION: The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher  
temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F) reduce the battery storage  
life.

The suspend/power on switch is used to switch on your notebook from  
its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the  
internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing  
the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need  
to take an extended break, press the button again to place the notebook  
into sleep mode or turn it off.  
11  
CAUTION: Do not carry your notebook around with the power  
on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the

When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self  
Test (POST) to check the internal parts and confguration for correct  
functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning  
and/or displays an error message on the display with a description or  
code.  
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by  
starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and  
revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self  
Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system.  
CAUTION Never turn off your notebook during the Power On  
Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.

2.6 Using the Touchpad  
A touchpad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to  
control the movement of the pointer to select items on your desktop and use  
applications on the notebook. The touchpad consists of a cursor control, a  
left and right button, and a scroll bar. The cursor control works the same way  
a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires  
light pressure from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function  
the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary  
depending on the application that is being used.  
Double-Clicking  
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in  
rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button.  
To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the  
left button twice, and then immediately release it.  
14  
You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by  
tapping lightly on the touchpad twice.  
Dragging  
The scroll bar allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without having  
to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars.  
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button while moving the  
cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move.  
Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location  
and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the touchpad.  
First, tap the touchpad twice over the item you wish to move, making  
sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the  
object to its new location by moving your finger across the touchpad,  
and then release your finger. Using the Scroll bar allows you to navigate  
through a document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This  
is particularly useful when you are navigat-ing through on-line pages.  
CAUTION: The touchpad responds to movement not to force.  
There is no need to tap the surface too hard. Tapping too hard  
DSC/MMC/MS  
does not increase the responsiveness of the touchpad.  
The touchpad responds best to light pressure.  
Clicking  
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the  
cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then  
immediately release it. To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item  
you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately  
release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by  
tapping lightly on the touchpad once.
