safeguard the computer during shipping, the battery will be locked to not power the
system until first connected to thepower converter and AC/DC adapters and
initially set up as below):
• Attach the power converter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the computer then plug AC/DC adapt-
ers into the jacks at the rear of the converter, then plug the AC power cords into an outlet, and con-
nect the AC power cords to the AC/DC adapters and
leave them there for 6 seconds or longer .
• Remove the adapter cords from the power converter’s DC-In jacks, and then plug them back in again; the bat-
tery will now be unlocked.
