Getting the Computer Running Connecting Power to the System This notebook computer runs on its rechargeable battery. You can also plug its AC adapter into a wall socket for continuous high-performance operation or battery recharge. It is suggested that you use AC power when you start up the computer for the very first time. Warning： It is particularly important that you use only the AC adapter supplied from your dealer in order to avoid damaging your notebook computer. To use the AC adapter, plug it into a wall socket, plug its DC cable into your notebook's DC jack. This notebook computer's AC adapter has a voltage sensor that accepts different countries' voltages without manual adjustment. 1. Plug the power cord into a regular AC power supply outlet. 2. The power indicator on the AC adapter will turn on to show that it is connected to AC power. DC-IN
2-23. Plug the direct current cable from the AC adapter into the DC-IN port on right side of the notebook. 4. The indicator on the front edge of the notebook will begin flashing with a green light. This indicates that the AC adapter has begun charging the internal battery. Note: It is particularly important that you give your battery a full charge the first time that you use it. We recommend that you leave the system connected to the AC adapter until the battery is fully charged. The battery charge indicator of the notebook will stop flashing when the notebook is fully charged. Turning On and Off the Computer Turning On the Computer 1. Make sure the computer is connected to AC power. 2. Press the power switch of the computer. 3. Each time the computer is turned on; it performs a POST (Power-On Self Test). When POST successfully completes its check, the computer signals a single beep and the operating system such as Windows should start. Turning Off the Computer In Microsoft Windows, you can shut down your computer by selecting “Shut Down” within the Windows Start Menu. You can also restart your computer from this menu. Note: If the system is locked up because of hardware or software problems, press the power switch to turn off the computer.

Its action is the same as right-clicking an icon or object with a mouse or Touchpad.
3-1Chapter 3：Power Management This chapter tells you how to use power management and delivers the information about AC adapter, Internal battery pack. About the AC Adapter The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. The AC adapter is Auto-sensing so that your notebook can operate through the AC adapter connected to any available power supply in a wall outlet. The AC adapter is also used to recharge the rechargeable battery pack when connected to AC power. The AC adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 90~240V AC. 1. AC Power Cord 2. Power indicator light 3. DC (Direct Current) Cable Warning：Connecting the AC adapter to other devices can damage the adapter or devices. Because of this AC adapter is designed for use with your notebook computer only.
3-2Note：The AC power cord supplied with your notebook computer is for use in the country where you purchased your notebook computer. If you plan to go overseas with the notebook computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. Using the Battery Pack The battery pack contains Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) that can be installed in the rear side of the computer. Warning： Only use the battery pack that is supplied with this notebook. If you need a replacement battery, ask your system vendor for a replacement. Never try to use a battery pack that is not designed and approved for use in this notebook. Note： Since batteries are consumables, the warranty will be ensured within six months while you purchased. To Change the Battery Pack To change the battery, shut down the system, and turn your computer over. Unlock and remove your battery, replace it with a charged battery. Battery Charging When the battery pack is installed in the rear side and the computer is connected to a power supply with the AC adapter, the battery pack automatically gets charged. You can check on the charging status of the battery using the battery charge indicator. Battery Discharging When your notebook is turned on and not connected to a power supply, it will operate by discharging the battery. Battery life is reduced if your notebook is consuming a lot of energy; for example playing sound files and frequently accessing disk drives. Battery life will also be reduced if your battery is not in good condition.
3-3Battery Low Warnings Your notebook will alert you to a low battery condition by emitting a continuous beeping sound. This warning happens when the battery has only 15% of total charge remaining. If you continue using your computer after the battery low warning, the notebook will continue to operate normally until the charge level drops to around 5% of total charge. At this point, without warning, the notebook will automatically turn off the system. Using Power Management This notebook supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. When you are running your notebook from the internal battery, it is important that you use the power management routines to reduce the system power consumption. They routines consist of a series of power saving modes：standby mode, and Hibernate mode. Standby Mode In a standby mode, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while practically all the rest of the components in your notebook turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a minimum. In a standby mode, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power consumption. You can return the computer to full power by pressing [Fn] + [F2]. Hibernate Mode Hibernate mode is really another way of turning off your computer. When you hibernate, the contents of your computer’s memory are copied to your hard disk drive as a file. When the contents of the memory have been safely stored to disk, your computer turns off. The next time the computer is turned on after hibernate, the file on the hard
3-4disk is quickly read back into memory. In just a few moments, your computer appears exactly as it was when you last hibernate. Hibernate is very useful for Windows users who like to have many different programs open on the Windows desktop. You can take quite a few minutes to get a busy Windows desktop up and running, and then you have to shut down each program one by one when you want to turn off your computer. Initiating Standby or Hibernate Mode This notebook computer does not support standby or hibernation mode automatically. But you can follow the following procedure initiating standby or hibernation mode. The following is power management setting under windows Operating System environment: 1. Click "Start", then "Settings", then "Control Panel". 2. Start the "Power Management" item. 3. Select the "Hibernate" page, select "Enable hibernate support "click "Apply" button. 4. Select the "Advanced" page, see the power button area and select lids, power button or sleep button to Standby (if you want to press "Fn+F2" then enter Suspend to RAM, please select "Standby" in sleep button, but if you want to press "Fn+F2" then enter hibernate, please select "Hibernate" in sleep button), then press "OK" button.
