Refer to this manual whenever you need further information on how to operate your notebook.
1 Introduction
Safety
Please read the information on this and the following pages. It is important
for your safety.
WARNING: Electricity is dangerous - it is vital to earth all mains-powered
equipment that is designed to be earthed. This includes the notebook and any
peripheral devices you may be using. Even if a piece of equipment operates
correctly, this is no guarantee of electrical safety. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician. Hazardous voltages are exposed if the cover of the
notebook is removed.
This notebook is designed to meet EN60950, BS7002 and IEC950 safety
standards, which apply to information technology equipment, including
electrical business equipment.
RM products comply fully with the European
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(89/336/EEC)
The relevant standards are EN50082-1 and EN55022 and these refer to:
– Protection from spurious mains power interference
– Immunity from external radio frequency interference
– Safeguards against static discharges (ESD)
– Reduced radio frequency emission from PCs
This product complies with UL60950-1 1st Edition 2003
Specification for Information Technology Equipment
Plugs and Sockets
The mains cable provided with your notebook comes with a sealed moulded
plug so no wiring is required.
Always use the mains cable plug provided, inserted into a standard 3-pin
power socket only. Sockets should be earthed through the wiring system of
the building and must be easily accessible.
Cables
Check the condition of all cables - and particularly mains cables - regularly.
If any are damaged, replace them immediately.
Place the notebook near to the socket to avoid trailing cables.
If you use an extension lead, make sure it is three-core and safely earthed.
Incorrect wiring can be fatal.
•CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger UL
Listed or CSA certified Telecommunications Line cord.
•CAUTION: Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet
before servicing or disassembling the equipment.
Fuses
Always use a 5A fuse that conforms to BS1362 and is approved by ASTA
for your RM Mobile One notebook. Always keep the fuse cover on.
WARNING: Never replace a blown fuse with one of a higher rating than
the correct fuse.
Ventilation and Dust Protection
Your RM Mobile One notebook has a cooling fan outlet on the base of the
notebook. Always make sure that all the ventilation outlets are not
obstructed, to prevent your notebook from overheating.
Unused expansion slots and unused disk drive bays should always be
covered with the supplied blanking plates. This will ensure the correct
airflow inside your notebook and keep dust out. Keeping the blanking plates
in place will also prevent electromagnetic interference occurring between
your notebook and other equipment.
Note that, while hard disk drives are sealed against dust, CD-ROM drives
cannot be protected in the same way and they may be damaged if you keep
your notebook in an area that is very dusty.
Other Precautions
The Mobile ONE notebook is designed to be operated at temperatures
between 5°C and 35°C. It is recommended that the unit remain below 25°C
for optimal operation.
WARNING: Before adding or removing any adapter card or peripheral, be
sure to turn the notebook off and disconnect it from the mains supply.
Failure to do so could cause serious damage to the notebook and associated
components, and may cause injury to yourself or others. Warranty claims
made for defects arising from failure to comply with this instruction will not
be entertained by RM or their suppliers of third party components.
– Do not tamper with the power supply unit.
– Do not move the notebook while it is switched on. If you want to move the
notebook, always switch it off and wait for a minute to allow the hard
disk(s) to stop rotating.
– Keep the notebook cover screwed on when in use. Always replace the
cover when you have finished working within the notebook and before
you switch it back on.
•CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
•“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – When using your telephone
equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons including the following:
•Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
•Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
•Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
•Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
Chapter 1 Getting Started
This chapter outlines the steps to follow and the jobs you need to complete
before you can really start to use the notebook for work.
1. Before you start.
2. Disks and manuals.
3. Setting up your notebook taking into account security and the
environment.
Before you Start
• Serial Number
The serial number label can be found on the base of the notebook. The serial
number is of the form of either TO123456/78 or WO123456/01. It is
important to make a note of the serial number on the inside front cover of
this manual (or another suitable place) as you will use this number when
you contact RM about this product. It can also be found on the bottom
right side side of your RM Mobile One wallpaper.
• Part Number
The part number label can be found on the base of the notebook. The part
number is a combination of six letters or numbers, for example 0AB-123.
Together with the Serial Number, this number uniquely identifies every
machine.
• Customer Account Number
The despatch note has your customer account number printed on it. You will
need this number if you ever need to call RM. Make a note of the number
on the inside front cover of this manual (or another suitable place).
• Licence Agreements
Make sure all licence agreements are kept in a safe place as they may be
required if you wish to upgrade the software on your notebook. These may
also be required if you need to demonstrate you are using correctly
licensed software.
Disks and Manuals
– Making backups
You may be required to make a set of backup disks using a utility
provided on your system.
Always use copies of master disks rather than using the originals. If you
damage the copy you can make a new copy from the original. Also make
copies of important files. If you then delete files accidentally, or your
notebook fails, you will have a copy that you can use.
– Operating system manuals
They explain how to use the operating system software (e.g. Windows)
supplied with your notebook. Master disks or CDs may be supplied
depending on the model.
– On-line documentation
The operating system software has its own on-line help files and any
additional software such as Microsoft Office also has its own on-line
tutorial help.
– Network documentation
If your notebook is being used as a network station, the accompanying
network documentation tells you how to use your notebook as part of a
network.
– Technical manuals
Apart from this user manual your notebook may be supplied with
additional technical manuals for specific parts fitted into the notebook, e.g.
System Board User’s Manual or Graphics card Manual.
