Introduction
Innovative technology and ergonomic design make your AMILO the ideal user-friendly and reliable
notebook. Your operating system is preinstalled on the hard disk and optimally configured to
facilitate the procedure when you use your AMILO for the first time.
The main memory of your notebook can be expanded to 128 -1024 Mbyte using a 64, 128, or
256 Mbyte memory module. Your notebook is also equipped with a 3 1/2-inch disk drive. Depending
on the model, your notebook is delivered with a CD-ROM drive, a CD-RW drive, a DVD-ROM drive
or a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD). A PC card slot (CardBus or PCMCIA) enables the notebook to
operate two type II PC cards or one type III PC card. Your notebook is equipped with an internal
modem. In addition, your notebook is equipped with a S Video Out socket to connect to a television.
You can connect external devices such as digital audio/video devices or other high-speed devices to
IEEE1394 (FireWire).
For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad.
An infrared port is available for wireless data communications with other devices.
Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor, a printer, and a
mouse. The ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can
connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via
the two USB ports.
An audio controller and two internal loudspeakers provide your AMILO with an audio capability. You
can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker. Furthermore a digital audio
output (SPDIF) is provided.
The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup programme.
Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various
key combinations while you are using the notebook.
Your AMILO has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised person can access
your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security
functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This operating manual tells you how to put your AMILO into operation, and how to operate it in daily
use.

Important notes Battery storage
Battery storage
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
i store the batteries in the unit.
Store the battery when it is half full or two-thirds full. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a
temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored,
the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the
i specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable
that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices
to connect the notebook.
If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may
result.

Cleaning the notebook Important notes
Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.
! Do not use any cleaning agents that contain abrasives or may corrode plastic.
Ensure that no liquid enters the notebook.
440 N00052 7
Preparing the notebook for use
! Please read the chapter "Important notes".
Before you can work with your notebook, you need to charge the battery and install and configure
the delivered software. The operating system and drivers required are preinstalled.
Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment. You need to charge the battery
if you want to operate your notebook with a rechargeable battery.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
If you use the notebook in a normal office situation, run it from the mains using the power adapter.
Please see the chapter "Connecting external devices" for instructions on how to connect devices
such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.
Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the inventory, notify your
i local sales outlet immediately.
Do not discard the original packing material of the devices. Keep it for future
transportation.
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location:
· Do not place it on a soft surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). The space between the
notebook's feet must be clear.
Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. In view of the multitude of different
finishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet of the notebook will mark the
surface they stand on.
· Never place the power adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
· The notebook and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart.
· Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its power adapter to ensure adequate
ventilation.
· Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the power adapter.
· Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
