6.

Click the Monitor tab.

7.

Make sure the information is correct.

For Windows NT:

1.

Click the Settings tab.

2.

Check whether the color depth and resolution are correctly set.

3.

Click Display Type...

4.

Make sure “ATI Mobility Radeon” is shown in the Display Type window.

5.

Click OK.

6.

Click the Test button in the Settings window.

7.

Make sure the output is displayed correctly.

Problem:

Incorrect characters appear on the screen.

Solution:

Did you install the operating system or application program

correctly? If they are installed and configured correctly, have the computer
serviced.

Problem:

The screen stays on even after you turn off your computer.

Solution:

Press and hold the power switch for 4 seconds or more to turn off

your computer; then turn it on again.

Problem:

Missing, discolored, or bright dots appear on the screen every time

you turn on your computer.

Solution:

This is an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT technology. Your

computer’s display contains multiple thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small
number of missing, discolored, or bright dots on the screen might exist all the
time.

Battery problems

Problem:

The battery cannot be fully charged by the power-off method in the

standard charge time for your computer.

Solution:

The battery might be over-discharged. Do the following:

1.

Turn off the computer.

2.

Make sure that the over-discharged battery pack is in the computer.

3.

Connect the ac adapter to the computer and let it charge.

If the optional Quick Charger is available, use it to charge the over-discharged
battery pack.
