  5. M285 touchpad • The touchpad on the Gateway® M285 notebook consists of a touchpad(A), with a scroll zone (B), and two buttons (C and D). When you move your finger on the touchpad, the pointer (arrow) on the screen moves in the same direction. • You can use the left (C) and right (D) buttons below the touchpad to select objects. You can make touchpad-related changes such as adjusting the double-click speed, pointer speed, left-hand or right-hand configuration, and other touchpad settings in Mouse Properties 5

  12. YOUR M285 DISPLAY • While the glass panel may show finger marks, it is much harder, and much clearer than a plastic display shield. Because of this clarity, it makes the display brighter than other displays. • If an optical cloth is not available, to clean the screen, dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild window glass cleaner solution. Be sure to dampen the cloth; never spray anything directly on the surface. If liquid collects around the edges, wipe it up immediately. • Warning:The screen is made of specially coated glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based glass cleaners. 12

  13. M285 Pen The Gateway® convertible notebook's pen is the only device that can write, tap, and input directly on your convertible notebook's display. The pen can do everything a mouse does. Just think "tap" instead of "click". Note: A finger-tap or PDA stylus has no effect on this convertible notebook's display, and ink pens and other pointed objects could damage the surface. Always use the pen that came with your convertible notebook. You can order extra pens from Gateway. Caution: Do not strike the display too sharply. Although the display is durable, it can break. To remove the pen from our convertible notebook: Locate the pen latch on the bottom of your convertible notebook.Slide the pen latch until the pen is released from the pen holder. To store the pen in your convertible notebook: Locate the pen holder on the front of your convertible notebook.Slide the pen into the holder until the pen clicks into place 13

  14. Adjusting your pen settings On the taskbar, double-click or double-tap the Change Tablet and Pen Settings icon. Changing Handedness Settings Under Handedness, tap Right-handed or Left-handed. Under Menu location, tap Right-handed or Left-handed. Adjusting these settings improves handwriting recognition. Adjusting these settings also changes the location of menus so that your hand does not cover them. Calibrating the Pen Tap Calibrate. Follow the on-screen instructions. Note: You must calibrate for each screen orientation. To calibrate for a different screen orientation, first select another screen orientation, and then calibrate again. 14

  15. YOUR NEW BATTERY • Charge your new battery for at least 3 hours before using it. This is referred to as 'initializing' and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity. Stabilize the battery to room temperature 72 degrees before charging. Charging below 40 degrees and above 104 degrees will decrease battery life. • Battery maintenance - Get the most use out of each charge, charging less frequently (avoid short rapid charges) and for longer periods of time is better for the life of the battery. • Power (Battery) Management – Alarms can be set to provide text reminders or specific actions when a battery is at a low or critical state. This can be done using the scale settings in Control Panel/Power Options/Alarms. 15

  16. Shutdown vs Hibernate vs Standby • When to use: • Shutdown • A full shutdown should be used when leaving school for the end of the day so programs, upgrades or updates are properly saved. • Hibernate • Hibernate is also a "no power" mode, the OS saves the content of the RAM memory to a special file on the hard drive, then shuts down completely. Upon startup, the OS recognizes the special file and copies the contents back into RAM memory without having to go through the full startup procedure. A drawback to Hibernate is that security settings and updates may not happen if you never use a full Shutdown. • Standby • Standby mode is useful to save a little power if you are going to be away for an hour or so. The only problem is if there is a power failure, the memory will be lost and the computer will have to be restarted - so save and close any important documents before using Standby 16
