Introducing Your TransPort LT
21
C
AUTION
:
Never turn off or reset your TransPort LT while the hard disk or floppy disk
is in use and the FDD and/or HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in
loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least five seconds after
turning off your TransPort LT before turning it back on. Turning the power
on and off in rapid succession can damage the TransPort LT’s electrical
circuitry.
Before you run your system for the first time on battery power, recharge the
battery fully to prepare the battery pack for maximum service. When
selecting a suitable working location, please consider the ventilation,
temperature, dust and dirt, plus electromagnetic and RF interference. The
selected location should provide a sturdy and reasonably level surface with
at least four inches of open space around the computer cabinet for proper
airflow. Your computer functions best at room temperature. Choose a
location free from extreme heat or cold.
Except for PC cards, never connect or disconnect any equipment or
components while the system power is on.
It is important not to operate the notebook on soft surfaces--such as a bed--
as this will cover the ventilation holes of the notebook.
There is one fan on the left side of the notebook, which will turn on when the
CPU temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius. The fan will turn off when the
CPU temperature is below 50 degrees Celsius.
W
ARNING
:
If the temperature continues to rise above the CPU allowable limit--either
due to a defective fan, or the notebook being operated in an excessively hot
environment, or a soft surface that covers the ventilation holes--then the
notebook will shut down and all unsaved data will be lost.
Understanding POST
When you turn on your computer, a procedure called POST (Power-On Self-Test)
automatically runs to test the computer components. Several messages appear
on the screen during POST.
Screen messages are built into the computer to report both normal and abnormal
system conditions. If an error message appears, take any action suggested in the
message. If the message identifies the error condition but does not suggest any
corrective action, write down the message and contact micronpc.com Technical
