Chapter 2
Using the Equity LT-286e
This chapter describes some basic procedures for using your
computer.
Using the AC Adapter
The Equity LT-286e can be powered by its external battery pack
or by the AC adapter. When you connect the AC adapter to
the computer and to an electrical outlet, the outlet supplies the
power to the computer. To preserve the battery’s charge, use the
AC adapter whenever you have access to an electrical outlet.
If the battery pack is connected to the computer, and you
connect the AC adapter to the battery pack and to an electrical
outlet, the AC adapter recharges the battery. See the next
section for details.
If you are not using the AC adapter and the Battery in Use icon
on the status indicator bar starts flashing, save all your work and
power off the computer before connecting the AC adapter.
(When the battery is low, connecting the AC adapter may reset
the computer.)
Because the adapter can operate at voltages from 100 to 240
volts, you can use your Equity LT-286e in countries other than
the United States provided you have the appropriate adapter
plug.
Use the AC adapter to recharge the battery as described in the
next section.
