Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or

corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat

source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave

oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over

60°C (140°F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak

acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not

pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical

attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the

battery, charging will not occur at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C

(104°F).

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three

complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the

operation time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use

only Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Acer

approved chargers designated for this device.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery

that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection

of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like

metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a

spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may

damage the battery or the connecting object.

The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is left in

hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter. Always try to

keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or

cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.

Battery performance is especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also

explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please

recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery, which

could affect performance.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and

obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas

where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in

such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even

death. Switch off the notebook near gas pumps at service stations. Observe

restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage and

distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,

marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage

facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),

and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or

metal powders. Do not switch the notebook on when wireless phone use is

prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Replacing the battery pack

The notebook uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as

that which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may

present a risk of fire or explosion.

Touchpad

The built-in seamless touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its

surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the

surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides

optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad basics

The following items show you how to use the touchpad:

•Move your finger across the touchpad (2)

(2)

(2)(2) to move the cursor.

English

•Press the left (1)

(1)

(1)(1) and right (4)

(4)

(4)(4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to

perform selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar

to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the

same as clicking the left button.

•Use the 4-way scroll (3)

(3)

(3)(3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right

a page. This button mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of

Windows applications.

Note:

Note:Note: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry

and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; hence,

the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping harder will

not increase the touchpad's responsiveness.

Note:

Note:Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on

your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in

Windows Control Panel.

Using the keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate

cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.

Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is

indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps.

To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on

the keys.

Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are

Num Lock

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The

keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators

+, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric

data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external keypad.

Scroll Lock

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when

you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not
