Using hybrid power modesYour Joybook comes with a hybrid power technology that helps accommodate the power consumption and the graphics performance. Usually when you have both an integrated and a stand-alone discrete graphics processing units (GPU) installed on your Joybook, and you want to run the discrete graphics card to achieve better graphics performance, it consumes more power compared to the integrated GPU. With the hybrid power technology, you can manage the power consumption efficiently while switching between multiple graphics processing units.

Switching between different hybrid power modesPress the <Fn> + <F10> hotkey combination to switch between 2 hybrid power modes:

� Increase Performance: This option powers on the discrete GPU to achieve better graphics performance.

� Save Power: Under this mode, only the integrated GPU is displayed and used.

For details about hybrid power function, right-click and select How do I set the graphics mode to open the Help file.

� When you switch to a hybrid power mode using the <Fn> + <F10> hotkey combination, the screen may black out temporarily for a few seconds.

� Some external connections (e.g. HDMI-capable display devices) may turn on the discrete GPU and switches to the Increase Performance mode. Disconnect the external display(s) if you want to stay in Save Power mode.

� The hybrid power modes work together with the Windows Vista power plans. If the power mode you want to switch to manually is inconsistent with the current Windows power

plan, you will be notified by the or icons in the notification area. For details about the icons, refer to the Help file.

� If you want to customize the default hybrid power setting, please refer to the Help file.

� Some running applications on your Joybook may keep you from switching between hybrid power modes, and you will see

or in the notification area depending on the current situation. You need to quit these running applications in order to switch hybrid power modes successfully. To find out the

applications to quit, click or , and select the hybrid power mode you wish to switch to from the pop-out message box, and then refer to the list of applications.

Protecting your Joybook from viruses and other security threatsYour Joybook may come pre-installed with an anti-virus software, which can help you avoid unexpected destruction of your precious data in the Joybook and keeps your privacy against any unauthorized access from other computers.

The anti-virus software protects your computer against Internet threats, such as viruses, Spyware, hackers, and spam. In addition, you can secure your personal information, block unwanted web sites, and check e-mail for viruses.

However, we would still recommend that you back up your data regularly on CDs, DVDs, or other external storage device, since the anti-virus software may not be able to intercept all existing and new viruses, which may lead to destruction of all or some of your data in the Joybook.

For more information about how to use the anti-virus software installed, refer to the online help that comes with the software.Furthermore, it is also recommended to set Windows to automatically install important updates for your Joybook. Important updates can bring you significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability.

For more information about how to use Windows Update, refer to Help and Support in Windows Vista.

FAQ and troubleshooting60

When charging the battery, the power indicator on Joybook suggests that the battery is fully charged. When I check it from the Power Manager in Windows, the battery level is only about 95%-99%. Why?

It is the result of the battery protection design of Joybook. When the power indicator on Joybook is off, it means that the battery has reached a saturated voltage: 95%-99%. At this moment, the voltage difference detected by Joybook is very small, so it will reduce the charging current to prevent overcharging the battery with excess current or voltage, which will damage the battery. Moreover, in order to protect the battery from exposing to high voltage and current for a long time during charging, the battery has been equipped with a protection circuit that will charge the battery at low current in the final phase.

How come my notebook is not fully charged even after a full night charge?

Make sure that the Joybook is receiving power. Is the cord plugged in correctly? When the battery is installed in the computer and it is properly plugged in to an AC outlet, check to see if the battery level icon is showing a charge sign. If this does not fix the problem, the battery, the power source in the notebook, or the AC power cord may be defective. Consult your BenQ dealer for help and maintenance.

What should I do if the battery gets hot in my Joybook?

Take the battery out and let it cool down. If the problem persists once it is inserted back into the Joybook, the battery could be defective and it may need to be replaced.

My modem does not connect at 56K speed?

Several factors can affect connection speed, such as line noise, number of people connecting/connected to your ISP, and the age and condition of the telephone lines. A 56K modem does not guarantee all connections at 56K; rather it s the ability to connect at up to 56K speed.

Can't connect to the Internet with the built-in network interface on Joybook?

Check if the network has a fixed MAC address. Contact your network administrator for further solutions.

When connecting to a local network with Joybook, the connection is unstable.
