The Power Sources
The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.
AC/DC Adapter
Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/
DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.
1.
Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the computer.
2.
Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the
AC/DC adapter.
3.
Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.
4.
Press the power button on the top left of the computer
for about 2 - 3 seconds
to
turn the computer “on” (note that the power LED on the front of the computer will
turn from orange to green when the computer powers on).
Battery
The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an
electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and
the configuration you're using.
To increase battery life, let the battery discharge
completely before recharging
(see
“How do I completely discharge the battery?”
on page 3 - 15
).
We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the bat-
tery, please refer to
