Getting Started of Vastking Kingbook K100 Notebook PC

Turning on the Power

Push and release the power button located beneath the LCD display panel.
Use [Fn]+[F5] or [Fn]+[F6] to adjust the LCD brightness.

Power System

Using the AC Power
The Vastking Kingbook K100 Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by Vastking K100 Notebook. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.

Warning: DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet prior to connecting the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so may damage the AC-DC adapter.

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Kingbook K100 Notebook PC or use the Kingbook K100 Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the Kingbook K100 Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.

WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE AAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.

Emergency Shutdown

Press the emergency shutdown key firmly for five seconds to shut down the laptop.

Using the Touchpad

The touchpad is an interactive device that interprets the gestures and position of your fingers to simulate the functions of a regular mouse. It is also an alternative to mouse to position cursor onscreen.

Touch-sensitive pointing device

The touchpad and selection buttons form a single surface. Press down firmly on the touchpad surface to perform a left click. Press down firmly on the lower right corner to perform a right click. The touchpad allows you to use one-finger and multi-finger gestures to move the pointer so you can select and click items, rotate and zoom images, scroll lists, as well as swipe and switch between windows.

Moving the pointer

You can tap or click anywhere on the touchpad to activate its pointer, then slide your finger on the touchpad to move the pointer onscreen.

Number Pad: it gives the users a creative way to enter numbers

Slide Up: Move your fingers between the top and bottom of your touchpad to scroll up and down, or move your fingers across the touchpad to scroll sideways. Be careful to space your fingers a bit apart. If your fingers are too close together, they just look like one big finger to your touchpad.

One Finger Tap: The one finger tap feature lets you move an object on the desktop using just one finger: tap twice and do not lift the finger from the touchpad, then slide to drag the object.
Two Fingers Scroll: Tapping and dragging with one finger will work as normal, but if you drag two fingers across any part of the touchpad, it will scroll instead. Move your fingers between the top and bottom of your touchpad to scroll up and down, or move your fingers across the touchpad to scroll sideways.
Two Fingers Tap: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.
The number pad: gives users a creative way to enter numbers. For example, you may slide up to close the number pad and slide down to open the number pad.

Using the Hot Keys

How to Connect to Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology enabling you to transfer data wirelessly over short distances between many different types of devices. Bluetooth enabled devices include computers, cell phones, tablets, wireless headsets, and keyboards.

To use Bluetooth, you must ensure the following:

Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
Your devices are "paired" (or connected).

Enabling and disabling Bluetooth

The Bluetooth adapter must be enabled on both devices. For your computer, this may be an external switch, a software setting, or a separate Bluetooth dongle plugged into the computer’s USB port (if no internal Bluetooth adapter is available).

Enable Bluetooth and add a device

Every new device must first be "paired" with your computer’s Bluetooth adapter. This means it must first be authenticated for security purposes. You only need to pair once. After that, simply turning on the Bluetooth adapter of both devices will connect them. Bluetooth on your computer is disabled by default. To enable your computer’s Bluetooth adapter, do the following:

Press the Windows key or select the Windows Start button > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth, and click the toggle under Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
Your computer will automatically start searching for devices, as well as make itself visible to other devices.

Note: Please check your devices owner’s manual to determine how to turn on its Bluetooth adapter.

Using a Bluetooth connection

Select the device you wish to pair from the list of discovered devices, and select Pair.

How to Connect to Wireless Network

A wireless LAN (or WLAN) is a wireless local area network, which can link two or more computers without using wires. Once connected to WLAN, you can access the internet. You can also share files, other devices, and even your internet connection itself. Your computer's wireless connection is turned on by default and Windows will detect and display a list of available networks during setup. Select your network and enter the password if required.

How to Connect to an External SD Card Reader

SD (Secure Digital) cards are used in a wide selection of digital cameras, tablets, media players and cellular phones.

Inserting an SD card

Align the card so that the connector points towards the port, with the connectors facing down.
Carefully slide the card into the port. If you find you need to use any force to insert the card, try re-orientating the card slightly.
Push the card until it clicks into place. A few millimeters of the card will extend

If the card contains some files, the Windows AutoPlay window may appear (this depends on the contents of the card) and ask you if you wish to use a program to access the contents of the card.

How to Restore Your Laptop?

Recovery Management allows you to quickly and easily restore your computer back to its default status. You can choose to keep your files or remove them before reinstalling Windows.

From Start, select system reset.
Select the Restore tab and click Get started to Choose an option.
Select Keep my files to refresh your PC and reinstall your operating system without removing your personal files. Click Next to continue.
