Using the AC Adapter
When connected to a wall outlet, the AC adapter provides power for operation and
charges the battery. The AC input voltage can range from 100 to 240 volts so that
you can use the computer with the appropriate plug adapter.
The AC power cord included with the computer is appropriate for the
voltage used in the area in which you purchased your computer. If you
attempt to connect the computer to a wall outlet other than in this area,
check the voltage of the outlet and use an AC power cord appropriate for
the outlet. Consult local service staff if you are unsure.
Resetting the System
You may need to reset the system after adding hardware or software so that your
computer will recognize the newly installed devices or software. When the message
appears after the installation, click OK, Yes, etc. to restart the operating system.
You can also restart the operating system from the Start menu. Select Shut down
then Restart.
Warm Boot
Resetting may cause data loss. Use the software reset only if the normal
Shut Down does not work because of software malfunction. Although
resetting will not damage the system, you may lose the data you are
processing.
If the system is locked up because of a software problem, you can reset or reboot the
system by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously. Press the Ctrl+Alt+Del
keys again to restart the computer.
