suitable specialist workshop, in order to avoid a hazard.
 Never try to open or repair the device yourself.

10
2.4. Data backup
PLEASE NOTE!
Loss of data!
Back up your data to external storage media before
each update. We do not accept any liability for claims
for compensation arising from loss of data or any con-
sequential loss or damage.
2.5. Setup Location (in notebook mode)
• Keep your notebook and all connected devices away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Non-compli-
ance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the
notebook.
• Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
• Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibra-
tion-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling down.
• Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long peri-
ods on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation
on the underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
• This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
2.6. Environmental Requirements
• The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature between 5 °C (+41 °F) and 30 °C (+86 °F) and at a rel-
ative humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensa-
tion).
• When powered off, the notebook can be stored at tempera-
tures between 0 °C and 60 °C (+32 °F and 140 °F).
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug. For extra
safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection de-
vice to prevent the notebook from sustaining damage as a re-
sult of power surges or lightning strikes.

11
• After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has
reached room temperature before switching it on. Large
changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause
moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation.
This can cause an electrical short circuit.
• Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to
be sent in.
2.7. Ergonomics
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark cont-
rast in order to protect your eyes.

The notebook should never be placed next to a window because

this is the brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness
can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker dis-
play. The notebook should always be positioned so that the di-
rection of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is in-
correct as reflections from the bright window on the screen will
then be unavoidable. A position looking onto the window is also
incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the bright
daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in
problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation
to artificial lighting equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the
workspace is illuminated with artificial light. Where space restric-
tions make it impossible to set up the screen as described, then
correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/screen can
prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-dark contrast,
etc. In many cases, an improvement can also be achieved by us-
ing slats or vertical blinds on the windows, partition walls or by
changing the artificial lighting equipment.

12
2.8. Connecting
Follow the instructions below to connect your notebook correct-
ly and safely:
2.8.1. Power Supply
DANGER!
Risk of electrical shock!
There are live components inside this mains adapter. In
the event of an unintentional short circuit of this mains
adapter, there is a risk of electrical shock or fire!
 Do not open the housing of the mains adapter.
• The socket outlet must be close to the notebook and easily

The service life and performance of your battery depends on careful handling.
The battery should always be completely discharged before charging and then fully
charged again to optimise the service life and performance.
Please also take note of the safety instructions on “Safety Instructions“.

8.3.1. Charging the Batteries

The batteries are charged using the mains adapter. When the mains adapter is
connected and switched on, the batteries charge automatically regardless of
whether or not the Notebook is switched on or not. A complete charge takes a few
hours with the Notebook switched off. With the Notebook switched on, the char-
ging process takes significantly longer.
If the mains adapter is connected to the tablet unit, only the battery in the tablet
unit is charged.
If the mains adapter is connected to the base unit, the battery in the tablet unit is
charged first and then the battery in the base unit.
If the mains adapter is not connected, the base unit will charge the battery in the ta-
blet unit up to 60%.

PLEASE NOTE!

12. Network Operation

12.1. Network Connection
Connect one end of a cable with a RJ45 connection (western jack) to your
Notebook’s network interface and the other to a different computer or hub/switch.
You can find more details about the network in the Windows® help.

33
12.2. Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)
This function enables you to establish a network connection to a corresponding
remote station. Please read about the necessary requirements. The Wi-Fi function is
enabled and disabled via the Windows® menu and is activated by default.

PLEASE NOTE!
Do not operate the Wi-Fi function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are
sure it will cause no interference.
12.2.1. Requirements
A so called Wi-Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi-Fi access point
is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your Notebook and controls
access to the connected network.
Wi-Fi access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations,
universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and
networks or to the Internet.
Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges.
Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so called routers establish the
connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and the Wi-Fi.
A connection can also be established to another end device with Wi-Fi functionality
without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those
devices directly connected to it.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices.
Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.

12.3. Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
• Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending on the
device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls, jacket pockets
and briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between Bluetooth devices occurs

34
at the high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz). For Bluetooth high speed data transfer, Wi-
Fi must be enabled and the partner station must also support the high speed mode.

PLEASE NOTE!
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations
(e.g.: hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are
sure it will cause no interference.
12.4. Flight Mode (Fn + )
In flight mode, all wireless connections (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) are disabled. Flight mode is
disabled by default to ensure that all wireless connections are available.

35
13. Multimedia Card Reader
Memory cards are media that are used, e.g. in the field of digital photography. The
shape and capacity of a memory card can vary depending on the manufacturer.
Your Notebook supports the following formats:
• SD (Secure Digital), SDHC, SDXC
When inserting the memory cards, ensure that the contacts are pointing in the right
direction, as specified in the list below. Inserting a card incorrectly may damage the

20. European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
Due to the very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex
manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become
incorrectly controlled.
In the past, there were a number of approaches for defining the permitted number
of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and
varied from one manufacturer to the next. When handling warranty issues for
all of its display products, PEAQ therefore adheres to the strict and transparent
requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefly
summarised below.
The EN 9241-307 standard defines, amongst other things, the generally applicable
guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault
classes and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels,
each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).
Pixel structure
5 Pixel

Rows
5 Pixel

Pixel

blue
green
Sub-Pixel red

Pixel defect types:

• Type 1:
permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A
white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three sub-pixels.
• Type 2:
non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated.
• Type 3:
abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g. permanently illuminated at
half brightness, one colour not illuminated, flashing or flickering but not type 1
or 2)
Supplement: Type 3 cluster (= failure of two or more sub-pixels within a 5 x 5 pixel
block). A cluster is a field of 5 x 5 pixels (15 x 5 sub-pixels).
