Connecting the computer
Your computer can be powered by either an AC adapter or a battery pack.
AC Adapter
Use only the AC adapter that comes
with your computer. The wrong type
of AC adapter will damage the com-
puter and its components.
1. Attach the AC adapter to the DC-in
jack at the rear of the computer.
2. Plug the AC power cord into an
outlet, and then connect the AC
power cord to the AC adapter.
3. Raise the LCD Swivel Panel to a
comfortable viewing angle.
4. Press the power button to turn
“On”.
Battery
The battery allows you to use your
computer while you are on the road
or an electrical outlet is unavailable.
Battery life varies depending on the
applications and the configuration
you're using. To increase battery life,
let the battery discharge completely
before recharging.
Recharging the Battery with the AC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC adapter is attached
and plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in
use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the com-
puter is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time
is less.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery is critically low, immediately connect the AC adapter to the
computer or save your work, otherwise, the unsaved data will be lost when
the power is depleted.
