CAUTION:
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to a wall outlet.
The best kind of AC power source to connect your DeskNote to
an external battery. Lacking this, use a power strip with a built-
in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this
may result in damage to your DeskNote.
The DeskNote comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a
different adapter to power the computer and other electrical
devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the DeskNote.
CAUTION:
Never turn off or reset your DeskNote while the hard disk is in
use and the HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or
destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after
turning off your DeskNote before turning it back on; turning the
power on and off in rapid succession can damage the
DeskNote's electrical circuitry.
Turning On Your DeskNote Computer
Turn on your DeskNote by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for
a second or two and release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs
automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system from
the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to as
“booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows ME,
Windows 2000…. etc) is installed, it should start automatically.
