Touchpad Status LED on/off Status LED Caps Lock Status LED touchpad Stereo speaker Windows button Hinge DC IN Audio port USB socket 3.1 Gen 1 Memory card slot On/Off switch SIM card slot* * Feature option depending on model Primebook’s modes of use There are four different modes of use for the Primebook.
Presentation mode This mode is useful if you want other people to be able to see quite easily what’s happening on screen or if no other options are available (e.g. corresponding output devices such as monitors or projectors). Tent mode In tent mode, you place the device in front of you and this allows you to operate the touch display with relative ease.
8. Starting up the Primebook for the first time First unpack your Primebook. Remove all components from the packaging and completely remove the packaging material, including the protective film. Check to ensure that the delivery is complete (see Section 5). If you find that there are missing or damaged components, contact customer service immediately.
Unlocking the display As soon as the device has been set up (and every time it is subsequently switched on and booted up), the lock screen appears. Press any key on the keyboard to unlock the screen. ADVICE If your Primebook is password-protected, you must then enter the password. Important elements on the start screen Task bar Windows icon: Opens the Start menu...
10. Using the keyboard Special keys and function buttons on the keyboard To simplify operation, the keyboard has numerous special keys and function buttons for controlling the Primebook. Fn key (blue) The blue Fn key is used to enable or operate the additional function buttons (blue symbols) on the keyboard.
In reverse, move two fingers towards each other on the touchpad to reduce the display again. Similarly, you can move the screen contents either up or down by placing two fingers on the touchpad in parallel and swiping either up or down. 12.
Layout of the Start menu In addition to the straightforward navigation list (A) found in the "classic" Start menu, the Start menu of your Primebook has a useful app area (B) to the right of the navigation list. Here, you can "pin" apps and favourites in the form of live tiles and organise them.
Page 21
Pinning apps Call up the Start menu as described above. Scroll with the mouse or use the touchpad to navigate to the desired app in the navigation bar in the Start menu. ADVICE Alternatively, you can use the keyboard arrow keys. Now left-click the app you want (or press the left button on the touchpad).
14. Accessing the settings The button for accessing Settings (a cogwheel symbol) can be found in the bottom-left corner of the Start menu. Alternatively, you can access the settings by opening the Info Center and clicking "All settings". You can also access Settings by using the cogwheel symbol on the keyboard. 15.
ADVICE You may be asked whether the Primebook should search for additional devices in the selected network and whether it should automatically connect to these devices (for example, printers or television sets). This is recommended in private home networks that you can trust. If you connect to a public wireless network, we recommend that you decline this option by tapping "Nein".
If you do not yet have a Microsoft account or are not signed in with it, you must perform these steps. Open the Windows Store and select the desired app. Click the app and then click "Install". An assistant now appears to guide you through the process of setting up a Microsoft account.
19. Using the camera The Primebook has a front camera. To use the camera, you must first open the app provided: Call up the Start menu (see Section 12). Scroll to "C" and tap "Camera". The camera app opens and appears as a window on the display. The following functions are now available: Opens the self-timer and an exposure mode for image capture.
20. Transferring files between the Primebook and other devices Transferring files via Bluetooth Enable the Bluetooth function on the device you want to connect and make the device visible to other devices if necessary. To do so, refer to the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
ADVICE After a successful file transfer, deactivate the Bluetooth function to save energy. To deactivate the Bluetooth connection move the slider for Bluetooth from right to left. The word "Off" now appears next to the slider. Transferring files between the Primebook and an external storage device Please connect an external storage device (for example, a USB drive or a hard drive) to your Primebook.
21. Connecting the Primebook to a television You can transfer the image and sound from the Primebook to a suitable television via HDMI cable or Miracast. Connecting to a television via HDMI cable To connect the Primebook to a suitable television via HDMI, you require an appropriate cable (Micro-HDMI to HDMI, available in specialist shops).
22. Insert M.2 SSD MODULE Follow the step-by-step instructions shown to insert the SSD into the SSD extension slot. Make sure that the computer is switched off before inserting the SSD. ADVICE The SSD extension slot is included as a model-dependant equipment option for Primebook C13 (Wi-Fi).
Page 30
Step 3: Insert SSD Align the SSD before inserting it into the extension slot. The semicircular recess of the SSD points towards the screw base and the gold-coloured contacts of the SSD point towards the contacts in the SSD extension slot. Insert the SSD slightly diagonally into the SSD extension slot.
23. Reset If the Primebook "freezes" and no longer responds, you can reset it. Press and hold down the on/off switch for at least 10 seconds until the device switches off. Wait for about 20 seconds and then turn the device on normally. ADVICE Any files that have not been saved will be lost when the Primebook is reset.
26. Troubleshooting/ In the following, you will find a list of frequently asked questions along with the appropriate answers and proposed solutions. Why is my Primebook slow to charge? If you charge the Primebook while it is under a very high load (for example, video playback at 100 % display brightness and simultaneous surfing, chatting or games), the battery will charge very slowly due to the high load.
Page 33
My Primebook won’t switch on. What can I do? The battery may not be sufficiently charged to allow the Primebook to switch on. Connect the Primebook to the charger (see Section 8) to recharge the battery. How can I install Windows Updates on my Primebook? Your Primebook checks for new updates daily (an Internet connection must be available) and displays an appropriate message in the Action Center when new updates are available.
27. Glossary Apps/Applications An app (abbreviation of the word "application") or application is a program that you can download from the Windows Store, for example, and install on your Primebook. Games, programs for playing back images and music files, word processing programs and a lot more are available.
Page 35
Task bar The task bar is the horizontal bar found at the bottom of your Primebook. Unlike your desktop, which can be covered by opened windows, the task bar is almost always visible. The task bar therefore provides you with constant access to the important functions and settings of your Primebook plus an overview of all the windows you have open.
