What should I do with the battery if I will not use my Joybook
for a long time?
Recharge the battery or discharge it to about 40% full, and thenstore it in a dry place at about 15C to 25C. Extremely high or
low temperature will shorten the battery life.

Connection
My modem does not connect at 56K speed. Why?
Several factors can affect connection speed, such as line noise,the number of people connecting/connected to your ISP, and
the age and condition of the telephone lines. A 56K modem doesnot guarantee all connections at 56K.

becomes 9GB when displayed from the OS, and 20GB becomes
19GB, etc. The bigger the capacity, the bigger the difference. It isbecause hard disk manufacturers and OS developers calculatehard disk capacity in different ways. As a result, the nominated
capacity is different from the exact capacity displayed by the OS.
Example of a 40GB hard disk:
Exact capacity of a 40GB hard disk displayed in the OS:
40,000,000,000102410241024=37.2529 (GB).
Furthermore, when a hard disk is partitioned, the system willreserve some space on the drive for system files. Therefore, thetotal capacity of a hard disk displayed by the OS will never be the
same as its nominated capacity.
Connect the earphone to other devices, such as a radio to see ifyou can still hear that noise. If the noise persists, the earphone
may be out of order. If you can hear the noise only when inserting, it is the result of
high instantaneous current. It is a normal phenomenon.
How can I reduce the wearing of the screen hinge when I lift up
the lid of my Joybook?
Please open/close the lid gently and slowly with both hands.Apply force evenly on both hands to reduce hinge wearing andprevent deformation or breaking of hinge due to uneven force.
What should I do if a program in Windows freezes?
If your system freezes, press the + + keys simultaneously, click Start Task Manager. Under WindowsTask Manager, click the Applicationstab, and then click on theapplication that freezes and click End Task.
Why is my Joybook running so hot? Is it normal?
Yes. Because all the hardware is in such cramped quarters, ittends to get hot. To prevent overheating, do not obstruct thevent. For example, do not use the Joybook in bed where ablanket may inadvertently cover the vent and block the airflow.
