11 Your OmniBook has several features that save battery power when the ac adapter isn’t connected. The most obvious of these is automatic shutdown—when your OmniBook has been idle for 3 minutes with no ac power, it turns itself off automatically. (Other power-saving features are described throughout this manual.) To resume operation, just press[...]

14 • If you have a PCMCIA I/O card—that is, a card having an external connection, such as a modem or network card—remove it when you’re not using it. Some I/O cards use significant power, even while they’re inactive. To recharge the battery or run on ac power • Plug the power cord into the adapter, then into a grounded ac outlet. • In[...]

15 The ac adapter is normally warm to the touch whenever it’s plugged into an ac outlet. The OmniBook is normally warm while it’s charging—don’t charge it in a briefcase or other small space. Hints • To get the longest battery operating time, allow the battery to charge fully—until the battery symbol in the Status Panel fills completely[...]

16 1. Important: Turn off the unit—do not turn it on until you’ve finished replacing the battery. Also, if it’s connected, do not unplug the ac adapter until you’re finished. 2. For easiest access to the battery, close the display and turn your computer over. 3. Squeeze the locking switches inward and slide the battery out of its compartmen[...]

For infrared printing, if Infrared Monitor is running, it provides visual status and helps you resolve communications problems. To start Infrared Monitor, in Control Panel double- click Infrared. 1. In Program Manager, double-cl[...]

30 Making Serial Connections The OmniBook serial port is a standard 9-pin serial port. It supports hardware handshaking, a method of data-flow control that uses signals sent over reserved wires in the serial cable. Linking Computers You can use Direct Cable Connection to link two PCs and share files, drives, and printers between them. You can make [...]

31 Press FN+F2 to start the System Configuration utility. You can use the Input/Output menu COM Ports command to change the COM names for the serial port and the physical infrared port (normally COM1 and COM2). PCMCIA serial-type cards use the remaining COM names. Exit the utility without rebooting—then click Start and Shut Down to restart the Om[...]

32 Viewing Serial Port Settings In System Properties, the Device Manager tab lists serial (COM) ports. To view the settings for a COM port, select the port and click Properties. (The serial port is normally COM1, and the physical infrared port is normally COM2.) • Open Control Panel and double-click the Ports icon. Choose the port you want to set[...]

33 Making Infrared Connections The infrared port provides a type of serial connection that doesn’t require cables—you just have to line up the device’s infrared port with the right rear of your OmniBook.

34 To prepare your OmniBook for SCSI devices 1. Save any open files—you will be rebooting your computer. 2. In the C:CONFIG.SYS file, remove the rem characters from the INCLUDE=SCSI line. 3. Exit Windows if necessary, then press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot your OmniBook. Connecting SCSI Devices To connect a CD-ROM drive or other SCSI device, first tu[...]

35 Adding PCMCIA Cards The OmniBook PCMCIA slots are available for devices that store data and expand the “communication” capabilities of the OmniBook. The OmniBook supports two kinds of plug-in PCMCIA cards: • Data storage cards—cards that function as disks for storing data (and are therefore usually called “disks,” rather than “card[...]

36 For a data storage card, you normally want to be able to store or change data on the card, so make sure the write-protect switch on the end of the card is in its “read-write” position—usually away from the nearest corner of the card. If you want to protect the data from being changed, slide the write-protect switch to its “write-protect?[...]

37 To view card information You can check key information about a PCMCIA card in the upper or lower card slot. Viewing Card Information • Double-click the PCMCIA card indicator in the taskbar. –or– • Click Start and HP User Tools, then on the Setup tab click PC Card. Also, in System Properties, the Device Manager tab lists PCMCIA ports (soc[...]

38 3. From the File menu, choose Exit to exit CardWizard. –or– Click the Minimize button to leave CardWizard running as a minimized card-slot indicator. To see the full CardWizard screen again, double-click the minimized CardWizard window. The OmniBook automatically detects and sets up a PCMCIA card when you insert it in a card slot. If you wan[...]

39 • Read and follow the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. • If you need to format the device, you can use File Manager for many types of disks—otherwise, you can use the appropriate MS-DOS command. For example, to format an ATA-type disk or RAM card in drive D, you can double- click the MS-DOS Prompt icon in Program Manager, then [...]

40 For network (LAN) cards, you may need to set up network support in Windows for Workgroups. For hardware support, use the Windows Setup icon (in the Main group). For software support, use the Network Setup icon (in the Network group). See the online Help for those programs. While an I/O card is installed, that slot isn’t available as a disk dri[...]

Select the level of support, then choose OK. • To support only modem cards, choose CardLite Basic. • To support modem cards and network (LAN) cards, choose CardLite Enhanced and clear the ATA card option. • To support modem cards, network cards, and ATA-type data st[...]

42 The OmniBook automatically recognizes and activates the external display. The built-in display normally turns off to conserve power and backlight life—but if you keep it on, you may notice a slight dimming while the external display is connected. If you’re using an external display with a higher resolution than your OmniBook display—for ex[...]

43 4. In the OmniBook Display box, select the desired action for the built-in display. If you selected a high resolution—super VGA (800×600) or higher—for use with a high-resolution display, you may have to turn off the OmniBook display to see the higher resolution on the external display. 5. Choose OK. 6. If you changed the resolution, you mu[...]

44 Using the Docking System If you purchase a docking system, your OmniBook becomes even more convenient whenever you work at your desk. By making one connection—plugging your OmniBook into the docking system—you can get convenient access to these types of connections: • Printer. • Modem or other serial device. • External SCSI peripherals[...]

45 To set the docked configuration You can specify how the OmniBook responds when it connects to or disconnects from a docking system. Setting Up Docked and Undocked Profiles Whenever you dock to a docking system, Windows automatically switches to a “docked” hardware profile. Each docking system automatically gets a different “docked” profi[...]

Do not use an excessively wet cloth nor allow water inside the case. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, especially on the display. You can clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated [...]

59 To back up your files As you create or add information on your OmniBook, the need to make backup copies of that information becomes more important. By making backup copies of key files, you can reduce the chance of accidentally losing that data. You can back up individual files to floppy disks using the Windows File Manager. For more elaborate b[...]
