Preface

Protecting Your Computer - Avoid Abusive Handling and Adverse

Environment

Follow the advice below will help ensure that you get the most out of your Investment.

Your computer will serve you well if you take good care of it.

Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.

Do not subject it to temperatures below 0oC (32oF) or above 35oC (95oF).

Do not expose the computer to magnetic fields.

Do not expose the computer to moisture or rain.

Do not spill water or liquid on the computer.

Do not subject the computer to adverse shock and vibration.

Do not expose the computer to dust and dirt.

Do not place objects on top of the computer to avoid damaging the computer.

Do not place the computer on rocky surfaces.

Here are some ways of taking care of your AC adapter.

Do not connect the adapter to any devices other than your computer.

Do not let water get into the adapter.

Do not block the ventilation airway of the adapter.

Keep the adapter in a cool and ventilated place.

Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it.

Carefully tuck away the power cord and any cables away from pedestrian traffic.

When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but pull on the plug.

Keep the adapter away from children.

The total ampere ratings of the equipment plugged in should not exceed the ampere rating of the cord if you are using

an extension cord.

The total current rating of all equipment plugged into a single wall outlet should not exceed the fuse rating.

Do not connect other AC adapter to your notebook. This Notebook uses exclusively the AC adapter: Lishin 0335A2065

(65W), Lishin 0335C2065 (65W), Liteon PA-1650-01 (65W), Liteon PA-1650-02 (65W), EPS F10653-A(65W)

When cleaning the computer, observe these steps:

1. Power off the computer and remove the battery pack.

2. Disconnect the AC adapter.

3. Use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Contact your dealer or see your service technician if any of the following

occurs:

Computer has been dropped or the body has been damaged.

Touch Pad

The built-in touch pad, which is a PS/2-compatible pointing device, senses movement on its surface. As you move your

fingertip on the surface of the pad, the cursor responds accordingly.

The following items teach you how to use the touch pad:

1. Move your finger across the touch pad to move the cursor.

2. Press buttons to select or execute functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.

Tapping on the touch pad twice produces is similar to clicking the left button of a mouse.

Function Left Button Right Button Equivalent Tapping Action

Execution Click twice quickly Tap twice (at the same speed as double-

clicking the mouse button)

Selection Click once Tap once

Drag Click and hold to drag Tap twice quickly and on the second tap

the cursor hold finger to the touch pad to drag the

cursor

Access Context Menu Click once

Move One Page Up or Down

Tips on Using the Touch Pad:

1. The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too slowly, your notebook responds as if you single-clicked twice.

2. Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touch pad. Also keep the surface of touch pad clean and dry to

prolong its life.

3. The touch pad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Heavy touch does

not produce better response.

Graphic Subsystem

Your computer uses a high performance 12.1-inch active matrix TFT panel with high resolution and multi-million colors

for comfortable viewing. The Intel integrated GMA950 video graphics accelerator, which is Microsoft DirectX 9 compat-

ible, performs graphic rendering at a lighting-fast speed.

Adjusting the Display Brightness

The notebook uses special key combinations, called hot keys, to control brightness.

Press Fn+F7 to increase the brightness.

Press Fn+F8 to decrease the brightness.

Note: To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest comfortable

setting, so that the internal backlight uses less power.

PRESTIGIO VISCONTE 1220

ENG

Extending the Life of the TFT Display Device

Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the backlight in the display.

1. Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting (Fn+F8).

2. When working at your desk, connect your notebook to an external monitor and disable the internal display Fn+ F4.

3. Do not disable the suspend time-outs.

4. If you are using AC power and have no external monitor attached, change to suspend mode when not in use.

Opening and Closing the Display Panel

To open the display, lift up the lid. Then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position. The LCD panel has a maximum opening

of 135 degrees. Do not push it down forcibly.

To close the display cover, fold it down gently.

Warning: To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when closing. Do not place any object

on top of the computer when the display is closed

DVB-T Digital Video Broadcast TV (Optional Device)

The optional DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast – Terrestrial) module allows you to watch high-quality digital video

broadcast TV on your notebook computer.

If your system has the DVB-T option, you should plug the antenna into the connector.

You may have to move the antenna close to the window and away from the building for best reception.

Shutting Down the Instant-On Player:

Press the Instant-On Player button to shut down the computer.

Ethernet

Your computer is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-TX Fast Ethernet network adapter. Connect the active LAN cable

to the RJ-45 LAN port located on the left side of the computer. This allows you to access and transmit data in the local

area network.

Connecting to the Network

Use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable only.

1. Insert one end of the UTP cable into the network connector until the connector snaps securely into the receptacle.

2. Either connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack wall outlet or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or

hub in the network.

Cabling Restriction for Networks

The following restrictions should be observed for 10/100/1000BASE-TX networks:

. The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328 feet[ft]).

. For 100Mbps or 1000Mbps operations, use Category 5 wiring and connections.

Note: Consult Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the software

installation, configuration, operation of the network.

BATTERY POWER & POWER MANAGEMENT

In this chapter, you will learn how to operate your notebook on battery power, how to handle and maintain the battery

pack, and learn about the system’s power saving features.

TFT display, central processor, hard disk drive are the major hardware subsystems that consume the most power. Power

management deals how these key components should behave to conserve power. For example, you can have the system

turn off its display after 2 minutes of inactivity to save power. Efficient power management can help you work longer

sessions before having to recharge the battery.

The Battery Pack

Lithium-Ion Battery

Your notebook uses a six-cell or four-cell Lithium-Ion battery pack that provides power when you don’t have access to

an AC outlet.

Note: It is necessary that you charge the battery pack for at least 6 hours before using it for the

first time.

Note: In the Standby Suspend mode, a fully charged battery loses its power in roughly 1/2 day

or less. When not being used, the battery’s power will deplete in 1-2 month.

Battery Low-Power Warning

1. Low Battery Warning

Low battery condition occurs when battery power is reduced to 6%. The green battery status LED indicator blinks and

the system beeps once every 16 seconds or so.

2. Very Low Battery Warning

Very Low battery condition occurs at 3 % power remaining. The green battery status LED indicator blinks and the system

beeps at 4-second interval.

When the notebook warns you of its low battery condition, you will have about 3-5 minutes to save your current work.

Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0 degree Celsius (32 degree F) or

above 60 degree C (140F). This may adversely affect the battery pack.

Note: Press Fn+F3 to turn off the battery warning beep.

20

PRESTIGIO VISCONTE 1220

ENG

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

To Remove the Battery Pack:

1. Place the notebook bottom-side up on a flat and secured surface.

2. Push the latch and pull the battery’s hard case away from the notebook.

To Install the Battery Pack:

1. Place the notebook bottom-side up on a flat and secured surface.

2. Carefully insert the battery pack into the battery compartment of the notebook.
