Preventing your computer from unauthorized use via wireless LAN/Bluetooth/wireless WAN

<Only for model with wireless LAN/Bluetooth/wireless WAN>

Before using wireless LAN/Bluetooth/wireless WAN, make the appropriate security settings such as data encryption.

When the battery indicator does not light on

The AC adaptor’s protection function may be working when the battery indicator does not light on even if the AC adap- tor and the battery pack are correctly connected with the computer.

Pull out the AC cord and wait for more than 1 minute to reconnect the AC cord. If the problem persists, contact your technical support office.

Maintenance

To clean the LCD panel

Use the Soft Cloth (included) with the computer. (For more information, refer to Reference Manual “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface”.)

Cleaning the display while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the screen is easier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.

To clean the touch pad

Wipe lightly with a gauze or other dry, soft cloth.

To clean areas other than the LCD panel and touch pad

Wet a soft cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thoroughly, and wipe the dirty area gently. Using a detergent other than a neutral kitchen cleanser (e.g., a weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect painted surfaces.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface causing discoloration, etc. Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.

Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the computer and cause malfunction or damage.

When Using the Computer with a Reduced Resolution

When setting the screen resolution to a resolution below the LCD’s resolution, the images appearing on the screen will be stretched. As a result, the characters displayed may appear blurred. This is normal, and not indicative of a malfunc- tion.

To display large characters with no blurring

Try the following steps while keeping the LCD in its resolution.

Click (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Appearance and Personalization] - [Display], select except for [Smaller - 100%] and then click [Apply].

(This function will be enabled after logging off the computer.)

To display enlarged font sizes in applications such as Internet Explorer:

Use the display enlargement function provided by the specific software application.

To display enlarged desktop icons, title bar and cursor or magnify the specific part of the screen:

Use “Icon Enlarger” or “Loupe Utility”.
