Preface

This manual contains information that will help you operate the computer.

Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing this computer.
Your computer incorporates desktop computer capabilities into a compact notebook-sized package. It can greatly enhance your
productivity either in the office or at home. And, of course, wherever you need it, the computer is ready and easy “to go.”

Getting the Computer Running

This section guides you through the procedures for getting the computer ready for operation.

Unpacking

After unpacking the shipping carton, you should find these standard items:
* Notebook computer
* Accessories:
• AC adapter
• AC power cord
• Driver CD
• Modem cable
• Ferrite core (s) - option
• This User’s Manual
Inspect all the items. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your dealer immediately.
Keep the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to ship or store the computer in the future.

Connecting to AC Power

The computer operates either on the external AC power or internal battery power. It is suggested that you use AC power
when you start up the computer for the very first time.

CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter included with your computer. Using other AC adapters may
damage the computer.

1. Make sure that the computer is turned off.
2. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector on the right side of the computer (1).
3. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to an electrical outlet (2).
4. When the AC adapter is connected, power is being supplied from the electrical outlet to the AC adapter and onto your
computer. Now, you are ready to turn on the computer.
