3.3 Using touchpad

Only a finger tip can control the touchpad. Because it is induced by static, it cannot be induced by any implement instead of fingers. The main function of the touchpad is to replace the normal mouse of a desktop computer, and can be used to position the cursor anywhere you want to scroll, or choose the items on the display with your finger tip.

Graphic explanation for using touchpad


Glossary Description
Point Please put your figure in the centre of touchpad and glide it to the position that you want to move towards.
Click Make the cursor stop at an item, press the button.
Double-Click Move the cursor towards the icon that you want to run, and press the left button twice or tap the touchpad twice continuously and quickly, and then system will start the corresponding program. If the interval of pressing or tapping is too long, it won’t have any effect.
Drag Choose an item and put it anywhere of the screen. Move the cursor towards the item you want to choose, keep it, and press the left button, then move it towards where you want to place it and release. Or else, while using the finger tip to drag, you have to tap gently on the item for the first time and then skim through the touchpad while tapping the second time, then move the cursor towards where you want and then release it.


Handling the touchpad
Touchpad is a panel induced by pressure. It can be damaged without proper maintenance.
Please note the following measures.
1. Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as dust, liquid or oil, come in contact with the touchpad.
2. Do not touch the touchpad with dirty or wet hands.
3. Do not scratch the touchpad with nails or any hard things.
4. Do not put any heavy objects on the touchpad or its buttons.
 
After setting the internal touchpad application software the scroll function controlled by software can be used and it will make it easier to browse Windows or websites. One can regulate main functions in control panel of Windows, so as to make it convenient to choose and tap.

 Appendix B   Some questions about the battery


How to maintain a new battery:
If the new battery is used correctly, the battery life performance will be better.

Please do not forget the following:
1. There is a small quantity of residual electricity in the new battery. You should use up it at the first usage, then charge the battery for no less than 15 hours.
2. After the first charge is completed, please remember not to charge unless the battery been used up. The second and third charge times are no less than 12 hours. After the third charge, the battery activation will be finished.

The battery life is computed from the time it is produced from the factory. So, regardless of whether you use the battery or not, the service life is in count down, and the battery life will be attenuated.

Generally, one battery can be fully charged and drained about 300~500 times.













26
  What is the judge method about the battery attenuation?

1. The software of Battery Mark is used to test the original use time of the new battery. (Power Option to be set to Max battery mode, lowest LCD brightness, WLAN turned off , no other outside device, no screen savers)

2. At room temperature (25 °C), after charging and discharging for about 100 times, the battery’s actual use time will decrease to 80~85% of the original use time; and after 200 times, it will decrease to 70~75%; and after 300 times, it will decrease to 60~65%.

3. So if the original use time is about 3 hours, and if you fully charge and discharge once every day, then 100 times will be used during 3 months; So, at that time, the battery life will be decreased to 2.4 hours; After 6 months, the time is 2 hours; After 1 year, the time will be 1.5 hours.

4. As the attenuation of the battery is affected by many factors, and there is quite a difference in use, both in the environment and method, it is unscientific to judge the quality and performance of the battery by the laptop’s use time. The times given are only for reference.


 Appendix B Some questions about the battery


Factors affecting the battery life and actual use time:
In the process of using laptop computers some factors may deplete the battery, even causing the longest time to be below the standard. But this does not mean that there are inherent issues with battery quality and performance.

Factors that affect battery use time are as follows:

1: Processor speed – The correct installation of the Intel chipset drivers makes the system processor with Intel Speed Step technology adjust the speed of the processor, thus extending the battery use time in laptop.

2: The capacity of the memory and graphic memory – More applications will occupy a large part of the HDD capacity for file exchange (Virtual Memory), leading to frequent hard disk write and read. So, It would be useful for the battery life to increase memory capacity.

3: Some applications often auto run in the background. This increases the load on the processor. You can close some applications, and only maintain some essential ones.

4: The brightness of the LCD – Less brightness = more battery time. You can adjust the brightness using the function key.

5: Power Management and Speed Step setup – Different settings of the power option will affect the battery life.





27



6. Battery Life – The average life of a battery is 1 year. With increasing use of time and frequency, it is normal that the battery life will decrease.

7: Processor and system device for deeper applications will quickly reduce the battery's available time.

8: Wireless devices and Bluetooth devices will accelerate battery consumption; if you do not need wireless, you can use the keyboard function keys to switch it off to save power.

9: Temperature of the environment when used – Use in high or low ambient temperature will affect chemical substances in the battery core, thereby reducing the time and battery life.

How to deal with a failed or reduced charging
If it appears that the machine is failing to charge, the battery indicator is off, it fails to start-up only with the battery, please send the computer to a local service station to check if it is a battery issue and it is necessary to change the battery.

As batteries are consumables, and it’s warranty period is short, when the battery is close to the end of its life, it may only be possible to use it for a few minutes even if it is charged fully. You may need to replace the battery.

How to save the battery, if not used for a long time?
Charge or discharge to 40%, then store in a dry place with a temperature from 15~25° C. Cell aging is accelerated if the storage temperature is too high or too low.
