Acer 610 Laptop User Manual

The keyboard does not respond.
Try attaching an external keyboard to the PS/2 connector on the
computers rear. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
I prefer using an external keyboard and mouse, but both have PS/2
connectors and there is only one PS/2 port on the computer.
To connect two PS/2-type devices to the computer, you need to use an
optional PS/2 Y-bridge connector.
The infrared port does not work.
Check the following:
Make sure that the infrared ports of the two devices are facing
each other (+/- 15 degrees) a maximum of 1 meter apart.
Make sure that there is a clear path between the two infrared
ports. Nothing should be blocking the ports.
Make sure that you have the appropriate software running on
both devices (for file transfers) or that you have the appropriate
drivers (for printing to an infrared printer).
During the POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that
the infrared port is enabled.
Make sure that both devices are IrDA-compliant.
I want to set up my location to use the internal modem.
To properly use your communications software (e.g., HyperTerminal),
you need to set up your location:
1 Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel.
2 Double-click on Modems.
3 Click on Dialing Properties and begin setting up your location.
Refer to the Windows manual.
