Each key is used in combination with other keys to perform software-defined functions. perating Basics 2-5 2 Touch Screen Control Silicon Motion Control Programs (SMI) Calibration Before going to work on the PCT you’ll need to calibrate the Touchscreen. Calibration defines the active area of the touchscreen and aligns the active area with the underlying video. You will need to carry out this procedure whenever you • Initially install TouchWare • Change the Video Resolution • Adjust the horizontal or vertical controls • Run the Stabilize Cursor function • Notice the cursor does not follow the movement of yourfinger or pen or does not reach the edge of the touchscreen. It is a relatively simple procedure, using either the digital pointer/pen provided or simply your finger. 2-6 Operating Basics 2 1. In the MicroTouchscreen Properties Window, apply the pen tip or your finger lightly to the word Calibration in the rectangular box: Touch Pen or Finger Only depending on preference. 2 Apply the pen or finger tip to the four “target areas” at the corners of the screen in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. 3. After this, apply the pen or your finger tip to the small target area at the center of the screen. 4. Click DONE. Make sure that you do not touch the screen while calibration is in process. Transfer Mode: Click on the SMI icon in the lower right hand corner. A Window pops up – SMI Display Properties.

Battery and Power Management This chapter gives information on using battery power. It also describes how the Power Management features works to save power. 3-2 Battery and Power Management 3 Battery Pack The rechargeable battery pack supplies power to your Qbe when external power is not connected. The average operating time of a battery pack is 2.5 hours for a Li-Ion battery pack. The operating time can be prolonged if Power Management is activated. However, actual operating time can vary, depending on several factors; these could be the Power Management settings, the software in use, the brightness of the display, and the system configuration. If you wish to extend the operating time when using battery power, you can use an additional battery pack. (See the "Additional Battery Pack” section later in this chapter.) Initializing the Battery Pack To assure optimal performance, initialize a battery pack before you use it for the first time. Initialization means discharging and fully recharging twice. This procedure could take a few hours. 1. Make sure the AC adapter is not connected and the battery pack is installed. 2. Turn on the Qbe. 3. Select the "Run SCU Setup” item using the arrow key and then press [Enter] to run SCU. 4. Leave the power on. 5. Wait until the battery is fully discharged and the power is off. 6. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack. 7. Repeat steps 2 to 7. Battery and Power Management 3-3 3 You cannot initialize two battery packs at the same time. Recharging the Battery Pack To recharge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an electrical outlet. To ensure the battery pack is charged to its full capacity, it is advisable to keep the computer turned off during the recharging process. The battery is fully recharged when all four bars of the battery indicator glow and the frame stop flashing. It takes, on average, 90 minutes to charge the battery pack to 80% of its capacity. Two or three more hours are needed to charge it fully. 1. Recharging will not start if the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F). 2. The recharging process will stop if the battery temperature rises above 60°C (140°F). It will continue when the temperature drops. 3. During recharging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged. This could result in a prematurely charged battery. 4. After the battery has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. 3-4 Battery and Power Management 3 Checking the Battery Level The battery level cannot be measured physically. Any reading on a battery meter or gauge is only an estimation. This, however, could be less than accurate due to factors such as temperature and a long period of storage. If the difference between the displayed battery level and the actual operating time is too large, initialize the battery pack as described earlier in this chapter to correct the problem. By Operating System Some operating systems, such as Windows, display a battery meter that indicates the battery level. By Gas Gauge A “gas gauge” on the battery pack itself also indicates estimated battery charge. If the battery pack is not installed and you want to check the level of the battery, you can do so by noting the number of lighted green segments. These indicate the relative percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when a lighted green segment no longer appears. Battery and Power Management 3-5 3 Additional Battery Pack There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer instructions. If you wish to prolong operating time on battery power while traveling, an optional extra fully charged battery pack is necessary. This additional battery pack can either be installed in the computer as the secondary battery pack or used to replace the primary discharged battery pack. Installing the Secondary Battery Pack 1. As a special bracket is required to install the secondary battery pack, you are advised to purchase the optional battery pack from an authorized dealer. 2. When the secondary battery pack is installed, recharging and discharging always begins with the primary battery pack. The additional battery pack can be installed in the floppy disk drive bay as the secondary battery pack. For installation instructions, see the "Replacing the Floppy Disk Drive” section in Chapter 4. Replacing the Primary Battery Pack 1. Make sure the computer is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Carefully turn the computer upside down. 3. Slide the locking latch toward the unlocked position and remove the compartment cover. 3-6 Battery and Power Management 3 4. Pull the battery pack out of the compartment. (diagram) Figure 3-1. Removing the Primary Battery Pack 5. Slide the new battery pack into the compartment. 6. Replace the compartment cover. Make sure the locking latch is in the locked position. Battery and Power Management 3-7 3 Low Battery When a single bar begins to flash in the battery indicator, battery power has reached the "Low” level and only ten minutes of computer operation remains. At this stage, make sure to save your data then connect the AC adapter or turn off the computer. Battery operating time depends on functions performed. If, for example, the audio subsystem, PC card, or disk drives are in use, then the battery expends itself sooner. If no appropriate action is taken within about three minutes of the battery reaching "Low” level, the computer automatically suspends to disk and turns off. 1. If the suspend-to-disk partition does not exist on your hard disk, the computer will not be able to suspend to disk. 2. If you fail to save data when the battery power runs out, then you lose it. 3-8 Battery and Power…
