Chapter One: The Guided Tour
This chapter contains everything you need to get started using your WinBookXP5. Take a look at
it before you go racing for the power switch and we'll save you a little time. We'll go over what
you'll pull out of the box, what everything is, and how to connect things so you can be up and
running in no time. You can use your WinBookXP5 right out of the box after you do just a few
things, so, here we go.
Unpacking
When you open your WinBookXP5 shipping carton you'll find several items - including this
manual, which of course you looked at before you did anything else, right? The rest of the
goodies are all carefully packed to protect them during shipping - and reshipping - so go easy on
the packing materials in the box and don't throw anything away. You'll need the whole setup
later should you ever need to ship your computer for upgrades, service, or anything else. Take
everything out to make sure that what should have come with the computer is there. There's a
quick visual guide on the next pages, for you to refer to. In addition to the computer and its AC
adapter and power cords, if you purchased a WinBook model with software pre-installed, you
will also receive the software disks and manuals. Once you're sure everything's there, go ahead
and take a look at the computer. If anything is missing, contact the number listed on the "Read-
me-first" sheet which is packed with the WinBookXP5. This sheet has the information you'll
need to contact your Customer Service representative for your version of the WinBookXP5.[XP5

A Walk Around The Block
Now that you've got everything unpacked, let's take a quick look at where things are on the
exterior of the computer. The following illustrations point out what's what.

Figure 3: Left View Close-up
The floppy disk drive has an eject button. The button pops out when you put a disk in the drive.
Push it in to eject the disk. When the drive is active, the activity icon on the LCD status panel
flashes. The audio connectors and volume control work with the optional audio card. The fax
modem port is covered by a small panel that slides out from the bottom.

Figure 4: Rear View
The rear ports are covered by a hinged access panel that drops
down. The Docking Station connector has a removable cover
that pulls off.

Figure 6: Underside View
The battery, audio card, and memory compartments are on the underside of the computer. For
more information, see Chapter 4 regarding the audio card and Chapter 5 about memory and hard
disk upgrades.
[XP5 1-7]
The WinBookxP5 opens like most other notebook computers; there's a hinge at the back edge
and a latch at the front. Push in on the latch release bar at the front and raise the top half. The
following illustrations show where things are.
Figure 7: Open View
If you have the trackball model of the WinBook, the panel with the TrackPoint bars in this
illustration is replaced by the trackball/button assembly shown below. The buttons function as
the left and right buttons of a Microsoft-compatible mouse.
If you have the TouchPad model of the WinBook, the panel with the TrackPoint bars in
this illustration is replaced by a TouchPad/button assembly. The bars function as the left
and right buttons of a Microsoft-compatible mouse.

The AC Adapter
The AC adapter converts the alternating electrical current from your wall outlet to the direct
current the computer uses. There is a cord permanently attached to the adapter, with a connector
jack that plugs into the computer. A power cord comes with the adapter. One end is designed to
plug into the adapter; the other is a standard plug for your wall outlet or power strip. We
recommend using a surge protector. The AC adapter is not designed to protect the computer from
power spikes and surges. Use a surge protector to protect against power fluctuations.
You can use the AC adapter with any AC source from 90 to 260 Volts and 50 to 60 Hz. It is an
auto-switching adapter; with the proper plug adapters you can use it anywhere that the electricity
falls within these electrical specifications.
