For information on using the trackball, or if you would like to know more about its device driver and utilities, see the documentation that came with it. Turning On the Computer When you first use the ActionNote, the battery may not be charged; so make sure the AC adapter is connected when you turn it on for the first time.
The computer displays copyright information and then performs a series of power-on diagnostics that check the circuit boards, memory, ports, keyboard, and disk drives.
Because your computer was set up at the factory, the configuration information should be accurate, If you have changed the computer’s setup so that this information does not match your configuration, run the Setup program described in Chapter 5 to correct it.
Chapter 2 Using Your Computer This chapter describes how to use your ActionNote computer on a daily basis. It provides information on the following procedures: Taking care of the computer Making a bac.
Taking Care of the Computer Before you begin using your computer, read the following guidelines to ensure proper maintenance of the ActionNote: Keep the computer and AC adapter dry, and do not subject them to extreme heat or cold. Do not place external devices on top of the computer, even if it is closed, to prevent damage to the LCD display.
Backing Up the VGA Utilities Your computer comes with VGA drivers and utilities already loaded on the hard disk. To protect these important files, you should back them up onto a diskette. The files are located in the VGAUTILS directory. Follow these steps to backup your VGA drivers and utilities: 1.
If you enable the Setup password, you must enter it before you can use the Setup program. The computer prompts you for the password after you press Delete to start Setup. Typing the Password You see this prompt when the password feature is activated: Enter CURRENT password: Type the correct password and press Enter.
Using the Keyboard Although the keyboard on the ActionNote has only 84 keys (85 on the international version), it still provides all the functions of a full-size (102-key) keyboard. For example, a full-size keyboard has a separate numeric keypad you can use for both numeric entry and cursor control.
This section describes how to use the following features on your keyboard: Special keys The F11 and F12 keys The embedded numeric keypad. Special Keys Certain keys on your keyboard serve special functions when your computer is running MS-DOS or application programs.
Special key functions (continued) Key Purpose Backspace Moves the cursor back one space, Enter Ends a line of keyboard input or executes a command. Home End Control cursor location.
Using F11 and F12 The F11 and F12 keys perform special functions within application programs. You activate these keys by using Fn with the F1 and F2 keys.
The following table summarizes how to use the embedded numeric keypad. Embedded keypad functions Embedded numeric keys NumLock on NumLock off Keys pressed by themselves numeric alphabetic Keys pressed.
To reset the computer, the operating system must be either on the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A. If you are using MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and Alt and press Delete.
If necessary, press NumLock to turn Num Lock (and its LED) on. Then, to change to low speed, press Ctrl Alt –. To change back to high speed, make sure Num Lock is on, and press Ctrl Alt +. Note You must press – or + on the embedded numeric keypad only.

Write-protecting Diskettes You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and copy data from it, but you cannot store new data on it or delete any files it contains. If you try to change data stored on a write-protected diskette, you see an error message.
Making Backup Copies It is important to make copies of all your data and system diskettes. Make backup (working) copies of all diskettes that contain programs, such as your MS-DOS and Windows diskettes; then use only the copies. Store the original diskettes away from your working diskettes.
When you swap diskettes this way, it is a good idea to write-protect the original diskette so you don’t accidentally write over it. (See “Write-protecting Diskettes” earlier in this chapter for more information.
Using Memory Your computer comes with 4MB or 8MB of memory, and you may have installed an optional expansion memory module to increase the total amount. This section describes how the memory in your computer works. Also be sure to see your MS-DOS manual for complete information on memory management.
Extended memory is memory with addresses in the range lMB to 8MB, and is used only by the following: Certain operating systems, such as OS/2 Some MS-DOS interfaces, such as Windows Some RAM disk programs, such as VDISK Some hard disk caching programs, such as SMARTDRV Certain specially-written MS-DOS applications.
Chapter 3 Powering the Computer You can operate your ActionNote using the AC adapter, optional automobile adapter, or the removable battery pack. This chapter describes how to use these power sources, and how to best conserve energy when using the battery pack.
