4-1 AC Power System
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the
battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to
the DC power required by the Notebook PC. The battery pack consists of a set of
battery cells housed together. The AC Adapter’s primary function is to provide power
to the Notebook PC which also charges the battery pack. When the power adapter
is connected to the Notebook PC, it provides power to the Notebook PC and charges
the internal battery at the same time as long as it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
4-2 Battery Power System
The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack located
inside the battery pack compartment. A fully charged pack will provide several hours
of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features
through the BIOS setup. The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard
under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the
amount of charge percentage left in the battery. Additional battery packs are optional
and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer. Before using the
Notebook PC on battery power for the first time, check the battery icon in the Windows
task bar to make sure that the battery is fully charged. Charging the battery takes a
few hours when the Notebook PC is powered OFF.
CAUTION! To protect your Notebook PC from damage, use only the power adapter
that came with this Notebook PC because each power adapter has its own power
output ratings.
CAUTION! Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for
long periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which
will decrease the Notebook PC’s performance.
