Notebook Accessories
AC Adapter
The AC Adapter supplies external power to your notebook computer and
charges the internal battery pack simultaneously. The AC adapter has an
auto-switching design that can connect to any 100VAC ~ 240VAC power
outlets. You just change the power cord if you are going to use your
notebook in other countries with different connector outlets.
When you connect the AC adapter, it charges the battery whether or not
the notebook computer is powered on.
34
Introduction
Battery Pack
Aside from the AC adapter, your computer can also be powered through
the internal battery pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion
(Li-Ion) battery cells that provide long computing hours when fully
charged and power management enabled. You should always leave the
battery inside your computer even when using the AC adapter as it also
acts as a back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut
off. It is also very important to have the battery pack always charged to
prevent battery cell degradation.

Getting Started
Your Notebook is designed and pre-configured for
easy setup and use. This chapter describes the
installation steps you should follow to get the

2.1
Using the Battery Pack
The notebook is designed to operate with one of the following power sources:
•
With AC power using the AC adapter connected to an electrical outlet.
•
With a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack.
You should use the AC adapter whenever it is possible, relying on the battery
pack only when AC power is unavailable.
Before you use your notebook computer, install and recharge the battery pack
first. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack allows you to operate the notebook
without an external power source. When you connect the AC power adapter,
the battery immediately starts to recharge.
For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the battery first before
recharging it when you start to use it first time. To do so, unplug the AC
adapter, turn off power management features (through Setup and Windows),
and turn on the system. Once the battery is fully discharged, plug in the AC
adapter and recharge the battery. You can also do it by using the Battery
Refresh function in BIOS setup manual that is described on chapter 6.6
If you do not discharge the battery completely, it fails to accept a full recharge.
☞ Li-Ion battery is vulnerable, do not charge it with other power adapter, or it
may cause fire or explosion.
☞ Please be sure to use the M4 series Li-Ion battery pack for this notebook
computer.

Replacing the Battery Pack
When your notebook estimates that the battery only has enough charge to
continue for a few minutes, it will alert you with a battery low warning beep. If
you are consuming a lot of power by using the audio system, the PCMCIA
slots, the hard drives, and optical disk drive, your notebook might run out of
charge much sooner than you expect. You should always respond to the battery
low indication by connecting to AC power or turning off your notebook, or
suspending your notebook to disk. If you do not do so, the notebook will
automatically suspend to disk and turn off. The contents of the memory will
store in the hard disk drive. You will be unable to restart the notebook until
you have connected to the AC adapter or installed a charged battery. To
replace the battery pack, refer to the previous sections on "Installing the Battery
Pack" and "Removing the Battery Pack."
☞ Be sure to save your data before replacing the battery pack or connecting
the AC adapter. Failure to do so can result in data loss.
