6.1. On/Off Switch
Open the Notebook and hold the on/off switch down briefly to switch the Note-
book on or off.
The operating light indicates the current operating mode. Regardless of the operat-
ing system, the Notebook will switch off if the switch is held down for longer than
4 seconds continuously.
CAUTION!
Do not switch your Notebook off while the hard drive is be-
ing accessed. Otherwise data may be lost. To protect the hard
drive, you should always wait for 5 seconds after switching off
the Notebook before switching it back on again
.
6.2. Mains
Power
Your Notebook comes with a universal mains adapter for alternating current which
automatically adapts to the available power source. The following values are sup-
ported:
AC 100–240 V~/50–60 Hz.
Observe the safety information concerning the
power supply on pages 12 ff.
The adapter is connected to an AC outlet via a mains cable. The mains adapter DC
cable is connected to the
right side
of the Notebook (
13
).
The adapter has an on/off switch (optional). When the switch is set to OFF (
0
), no
power is being consumed and no power is being supplied to the Notebook.
The adapter supplies the Notebook with power in the ON position (
I
) and also
charges the battery. The operating lights on the Notebook provide information
about the operating mode. Your battery will also be charged while you work on
your Notebook with the mains adapter connected. The mains adapter also con-
sumes power when the Notebook is not connected to it. You should therefore al-
ways remove the mains adapter plug from the socket when it is not connected to
the Notebook or move the switch to the OFF (
0
) position.
CAUTION!
Use only the mains adapter and power cable supplied.
