$243 Getting StartedIMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servic-ing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.Power SystemUsing AC PowerThe Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system.

If there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the Notebook PC and contact an authorized service center.Using Battery PowerThe Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. 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. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer.Installing and Removing the Battery PackYour Notebook PC may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your Notebook PC does not have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.Battery CareThe Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged.

Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.$

$263 Getting StartedIMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use may result in data loss. IMPORTANT!

If any critical hard disk drive warning is given during bootup, backup your data immediately and run Windows disk checking program. To run Window’s disk checking program: (1) right-click any hard disk drive icon in “My Computer”, (2) choose Properties, (3) click the Tools tab, (4) click Check Now, (5) select a hard disk drive, (6) select Thorough to also check for physical damages, and (7) FOLFN6WDUW7KLUGSDUW\GLVNXWLOLWLHVVXFKDV6\PDQWHF·V1RUWRQ'LVN'RFWRUFDQDOVRSHUIRUPWKHVDPHfunctions but with greater ease and more features.$

$27Getting Started 3NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).Right-click the battery icon for sub-menus. Left-click the battery icon for power management settings.Note: Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not re-ÁHFWZKDW\RXVHHLQ\RXUV\VWHPMove your mouse over the battery icon for remaining power information.When the AC power is connected, charging status will be shown.WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future. NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high.Checking Battery PowerThe battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery.

283 Getting StartedRestarting or RebootingAfter making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to restart the system. Some installation processes will provide a dialog box to allow restart. To restart the system manually, click Windows Start button and select Shut Down and then choose Restart. Powering OFFIn Windows XP, power OFF the Notebook PC by clicking Windows Start button and select Shut Down and then choose Turn off (or Shut down). For operating systems without proper power man-agement (DOS, Windows NT), you must close all applications and exit operating systems and then power OFF by holding the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed to 1 second to power ON). Holding the power switch for 2 seconds is necessary in order to prevent accidental power-OFFs.IMPORTANT! To protect the hard drive, wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON. (Screens are different depending on security settings.)Emergency ShutdownIn case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, hold the power button over 4 seconds to shutdown your Notebook PC.

The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors.
