By the Community, For the Community: Introducing the XO

The XO is designed to help you, your family, and your community to learn and grow. The tools and games it contains are meant to be explored, and enjoyed, to help you expand your knowledge and to have fun. The XO can help you make new friends, in your own area or across the world. A community contributed to the project that made this computer and everything on it.

One reason community projects have been so successful is because they are helpful. The reason the projects are helpful is because of all the people who have taken the time to add or improve something. With the community approach, there is something for everyone.

An important thing to remember is that there is only one serious mistake you can make on the XO laptop: thinking that your contribution would not be helpful. Like any community effort, the XO laptop has great things about it, and it also has room for improvement. Ideas and feedback are one of the greatest gifts that you can give. You don't need to be an expert, you just need to be willing to share your thoughts. Know that the community would be glad to hear them.

We hope that the XO laptop is helpful, that you enjoy and learn from it. Our utmost hope is that someday you will join us in making it better.

All are welcome.

About computers

Your XO is a laptop computer.

What is a computer? A computer is a tool, a classroom, a toy, offering a way to communicate with others. Use your computer for learning, for fun with pictures and games, or for communication. A computer can be whatever you want it to be. Many people use computers to write, to perform mathematics, to create art, to play games, to record sound and images, to communicate with others, to read, and to learn.

What can the XO do? Your XO can store written stories, videos, pictures, an entire library. It can play music, and you can make music with it. It contains Activities that you can use to learn math, play games, create pictures, and communicate with others. You interact with the XO using the touchpad, or graphics tablet, keyboard, microphone, or camera.

How does it do it? With your XO, you can figure out how it works for yourself by reading about computers and learning the basics, then learn about hardware and software.

Opening the XO

Line drawings showing how to open the XO.

Physically you can open, flip, and close the XO to position it in different ways.

To open it, position the handle away from you and lift both antennae up and toward you until the laptop clicks open. Lift the screen up from the keyboard; you may have to hold the keyboard down as you lift the display.

  • To open

  • 1. For handheld mode, lift the "bunny ears."

  • 2. Listen for the laptop clicking open.

How to switch screen positions.
  • To flip

  • 1. Bring the display up to a 90-degree angle and put the antennae down.

  • 2. Rotate the display 180 degrees until it is facing backwards.

  • 3. Lay the display down onto the keyboard.

  • 4. Enjoy the XO in this mode!

Starting and shutting down the XO

Starting

When you press the power button for the first time, the XO starts up after about two minutes, and then asks your name. The next time you start it, it will remember your name and go directly to the Home screen.

  • To start up

  • 1. Enter your name.

  • 2. Once you enter your name, click Done.

  • 3. Choose your colors by clicking repeatedly.

  • 4. Once you've chosen your colors, click Done.

Your screen looks like this when the laptop is ready to begin.


Shutting down

When you're done using the computer, go to the Home view, and then hover the pointer over the middle XO icon until you see a menu. Next, choose to Shutdown to ensure your laptop stops properly.

The Reboot and Shutdown options appear when you hover your mouse over the XO icon in the Home view.


You can also shut down by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds, but it's better for the computer to shut down from the Home view.

Connecting your XO to the network

Mesh Icon

Thanks to network connections, you and your XO are going places while staying close to home.

Your XO connects to networks and other computers. The XO can take up to five minutes to find network connections. While it's searching, the inside of a colored circle blinks. You might need to ask your teacher for help, if your XO asks you to enter an access key.

Wireless key requested

When there are many wireless connections available, go to the Neighborhood View and move your mouse over the circles until you find the wireless connection that you want to connect to (and have any necessary access key or password). Click on the circle that represents the wireless network to which you want to connect. The interior of the circle will blink while the XO is trying to make the connection. The rim of the circle will turn white when the connection is established. (The hover menu will also include an additional "Disconnect" menu item once the connection is established.)

While your XO remains connected, the outline of the icon blinks.

More information about your XO's connection:

  • If you connect to a wireless network, your laptop becomes a network point; other XO laptops within 100 meters can connect to the Internet through your XO laptop.
  • Similarly, if there is another XO connected to the Internet nearby, you can connect to that XO laptop—and the Internet—through the other XO.
  • If there are no Internet network points available after five minutes of searching, your XO laptop defaults to Channel 1, which enables your XO laptop to connect to other XO laptops.
  • Please be patient; it can take your XO up to five minutes to find a good connection.

Cleaning and caring for your XO

While your XO is tough, you should try to keep your XO dry and clean and avoid dropping it or stepping or sitting on it. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. It can survive an occasional accidental soaking in a rain storm, but don't dip it all the way into water.

The XO laptop has no hard drive to crash and only two internal cables, so it is less likely to fail than other laptops. For added robustness, the XO's plastic walls are thicker than the standards for other laptops. Its green mesh network antennas, or "bunny ears," have improved wireless capabilities over the typical laptop. Plus, they double as external covers for the USB ports, which are protected internally as well. Internal bumpers protect the screen display by offering cushioning.

Personalizing your XO

When you start your XO, you'll see a small O on top of an X. This symbol represents you when you use your XO. Click this person symbol to choose colors that you like best.

Avoiding loss of your XO

Although your XO handle is sturdy enough for you to carry your XO by itself, you may want to put your XO in a bag with a shoulder strap for easier carrying. When you first start the XO, if a school server is available, it registers with your school's server to give you additional storage for pictures or stories that you make. Also, to ensure that no one other than you can use your XO, the XO sends a security code that lets officials track down your XO if needed.


Keeping information in the Journal

Use the Journal to view a collection of all your past Activities on the laptop. To open the Journal, click the notebook-and-pencil Journal icon at the bottom of the Activity Circle on the Home View... or press the magnifying-glass key near the top left corner of the keyboard.

Each time you use an activity, the Journal stores a record calling your work by the activity name, such as "Write Activity" or "TurtleArt Activity." (The stored results of an activity session are sometimes called "files.")

You can give an activity session a more specific name when you Exit from the activity, or by editing its listing in the Journal. A more specific name might be the name of the person in a Record photo, a title for your latest Draw artwork, or a phrase describing your last Write activity.

From the Journal, you can search past activities by keyword and sort by activity or date.

Clicking on an entry in the Journal brings up a detail page where you can add or edit a Description of the activity, add keyword "Tags", delete, copy or resume the activity. To resume, click on the square in the top right corner of the screen, then on the activity icon beneath the word "Resume." The other icons on the top of the screen are Copy (to the clipboard), Erase (from the Journal and from the computer's memory), and Go back (to the Journal list).

The Journal also lets you work with external media. When you plug a USB memory device or SD memory card into the XO, an icon representing the device appears at the bottom of the Journal. Click on the USB icon to see the content. You can also drag and drop Journal entries onto or off of a USB key.

Copying the XO contents (backing up)

Your XO will automatically copy items from the Journal to your school server, which provides a way to "back up" your information. This "back up" process means that if you ever lost a song or image or story that you wrote, you can get it back (recover it) from your school server and put it on your XO laptop. If you think you have lost something, ask your teacher to run the backup-restore command.

If you needed to replace your XO laptop with a new one for some reason, then your teacher can follow these instructions for copying all of your songs or stories or other files.

  1. (optional) Insert a teacher USB key into laptop, which identifies the administrator for the school server. If a teacher USB key is present, you do not have to enter a password for the restore command.
  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 (F2 is also called the Group view key).
  3. Log in using the root username and password.
  4. At the command line, type
    • identity-restore "nickname"
  5. If a teacher USB key isn't present, you must enter the password for the xoreg user on the school server.
  6. Return to the Sugar console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4 (F4 is also called the Activity view key).

Also, in the Journal, you can click the Backup tab and if your laptop is registered to a school server, the XO laptop will copy your files to the school server.

Conserving disk space

Your XO laptop can store a limited number of files on its 1 GB flash disk drive. You should maintain your XO so that it does not run out of storage space for new files. You can delete some items by using the Journal Activity.

To clear out space for more files:

  1. Go to the Home view and click the Journal icon.
  2. Look for files that you can delete, such as old files or large files that you have copied to another location.
    1. In general, video and audio media files and some PDF files or e-books are larger than individual Write activity files or still photographs.
    2. The Browse activity may download more than one copy of a PDF or media file if you do not realize you have already downloaded it. Delete duplicates to save space
  3. Select a file by clicking on its wide bar. This will give you a preview of the activity or file. If you want to delete it, click the Erase button (minus sign). If you want to resume using it, click on the large box on the right.

Charging the XO battery

Your XO needs power to run. Power is electricity, and there are two ways for your XO to get it: from its battery or from a power cord. A fully charged battery should run your XO laptop for about three hours.

Using Battery Power

Your battery is like a suitcase for electricity. When you first get your XO, the suitcase is empty, so you need to fill it up. That means you have to store some electricity in your battery before you can travel away from a cord.

The battery icon does not indicate the number of hours or minutes remaining for the XO to run. Instead, the icon displays a percentage of the battery life remaining.

The battery is attached to the underside of your XO.

Here's how to charge up the battery:

  1. Plug the power cord into your XO.
  2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest power source, such as your school's generator. A car battery may also be used, with the proper voltage adapter.

Plugging in your XO

You can use your XO when you're charging the battery or when you have a good source for power. For power sources, you can use the generator supplied by the OLPC Project to your school or another source of electricity.

When to charge the battery

Hovering over the battery

The battery icon fills with color, showing you the current charge, or amount of power in the suitcase. Move the cursor over the battery icon to see more information. Also, when the battery is charging, the battery light displays color from yellow to green. A red light tells you that the battery is running low and that you should charge it soon.

Removing / Replacing the battery

Removing and replacing the battery

You shouldn't need to remove the battery, unless it is faulty.

To remove the battery:

  1. Switch off the XO.
  2. Close the lid, and turn the XO over, so that the XO logo appears on the underside.
  3. Slide the right-hand side catch further to the right. It will remain in place.
  4. Slide the left-hand side catch further to the left. Note that this catch is spring loaded -- you must hold it in the desired position.
  5. Lift the battery out from the central indentation between the two catches.

To replace the battery:

  1. Line up the four notches on the battery with the long edge furthest from the catches.
  2. Drop the battery into place.
  3. Slide the left-hand side catch to the left, and press the battery gently into place.
  4. Slide the right-hand side catch to the right, to lock the battery in place.

Being safe with the XO

Your XO laptop is checked for safety against the European Union's RoHS Directive which ensures that it contains no hazardous or unsafe materials. Its NiMH batteries contain no toxic heavy metals, plus it features enhanced battery management for an extended recharge-cycle lifetime. The XO also uses alternate power-charging sources, such as a car battery, with a modified adapter. Ask an adult for help with chargers other than the provided AC adapter.

You might also be concerned about protecting your XO laptop from a computer virus. The unique security system isolates each Activity so that a virus cannot easily infect the XO laptop. Currently you do not need to install separate anti-virus software or firewall software.

Please realize that the XO laptop is designed for easy-to-use wireless connection to the Internet and other networks, but you should be careful and ask your teacher or parent for help and protection. They need to know that "Internet access must be purchased separately through an independent Internet Service Provider (ISP). In selecting an ISP, you should remember that, in addition to the many wonderful sites and educational resources on the Internet and World Wide Web, there are places where you wouldn’t want your child to go and people you wouldn’t want your child to meet. That’s why many ISPs offer “filters” that assist you in monitoring and/or controlling your child’s Internet access. So your child can have a safe and healthful experience, OLPC FOUNDATION RECOMMENDS THAT YOU USE AN APPROPRIATE INTERNET FILTER, REMAIN INVOLVED IN YOUR CHILD’S USE OF THE INTERNET AND, OF COURSE, STAY ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION."

By our estimates, your XO should last at least five years. To help ensure such durability, take care of it well.
