2 . Powering Your
Notebook
This chapter provides you with the information you need to
operate your TransPort X
KE
series system.
You will learn how to:
•
Power your system using one or more battery packs
for travel or an electrical outlet for home or office
•
Use the AC adapter to charge the battery(ies) while
powering the system
•
Install your CD-ROM drive
When traveling, your system operates on an intelligent lithium-
ion battery pack.
Before you run your system for the first time on battery power,
remove the battery from its package and install it in the system,
then recharge the battery fully.
This prepares your lithium-ion battery pack for maximum
service.
Note:
1.
For power saving options, see Chapter 3, Hardware
Settings.
2.
Your intelligent lithium ion battery can be recharged
about 450 times before expiring.
Recharging function for the MiniDock and
notebook computer system
1.
Plug the battery pack for the notebook computer
into the battery charging slot as shown below.
2.
When the MiniDock is powered by an AC power
source, the orange “Charge” lamp on the
MiniDock lights and charging begins. This system
can charge the battery even while the notebook
computer is in use.
Note:
Be careful not to open the notebook computer’s display
panel so far that it bumps the battery charging slot.
