Open the notebook and hold the on/off switch down briefly to switch the
notebook on or off.
Regardless of the operating 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 or
optical drive is being 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
supported:
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 notebook.
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. Your battery will also be charged while you work on your
notebook with the mains adapter connected. The mains adapter also consumes
power when the notebook is not connected to it. You should therefore always
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!
Only use this notebook and accompanying mains adapter
with each other.
