Chapter 4
Using the Equity LT-286
This chapter describes some basic procedures for using your Equity
LT-286 computer.
Using the AC Adapter
The Equity LT-286 can be powered by its internal battery pack or
by the AC adapter. When you connect the AC adapter to the
computer and to an electrical outlet, the power to the computer is
supplied from the outlet. At the same time, the AC adapter
recharges the battery. Use the AC adapter whenever you have
access to an electrical outlet; that way you’ll preserve the battery’s
charge.
You can connect or disconnect the AC adapter while you are using
the computer without interrupting any operation. For example, if
you are not using the adapter and the
Power/Speed
light starts
flashing (see below), you can connect the AC adapter without first
turning off the computer. (You should do this immediately if the
Power/Speed
light starts to flash, to avoid losing data.)
Because the adapter can operate at voltages from 100 to 240 volts,
you can use your Equity LT-286 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.
