Transportation
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations
before transporting a Lithium-Ion battery. Transporting an end-of-life,
damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically
limited or prohibited.
Disposal and Recycling
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling regulations
that vary by country and region. Always check and follow your applicable
regulations before disposing of any battery. Contact your local battery
recycling organization. Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste
electronic equipment in standard waste receptacles. Place only
discharged batteries in a battery collection container. Use electrical tape
or other approved covering over the battery connection points to prevent
short circuits.
2.3 Starting Your Notebook
Suspend / Power on Button
The suspend/power on switch is used to switch on your notebook from
its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the
internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing
the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need
to take an extended break, press the button again to place the notebook
into sleep mode or turn it off.
CAUTION:
Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject
it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk.
When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self
Test (POST) to check the internal parts and confguration for correct
functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning and/
or displays an error message on the display with a description or code.
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by
starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and
revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self
Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system.
CAUTION
Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test
(POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.
