CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery. Connecting the AC Adapter 1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC. 2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet. Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power 1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed. 2. Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to battery power. NOTE CAUTION CAUTION The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC. To protect your notebook from damage, use only Lithium-Ion batteries that meet the specification. Improper use of batteries may lead to explosion and bodily harm. Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. Contact your local recycling center or waste disposal operator to properly dispose of batteries according to the local laws and regulations of your region. PRESERVING BATTERY LIFE • • Fully discharge and recharge the battery every 30 days to prolong battery life. If the battery is not used for a month or longer, remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place. Fully recharge the battery before using again. 13 ENGLISH GETTING STARTED RECHARGING THE BATTERY The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC adapter. There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Low Battery State FRANÇAIS When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point. CAUTION To protect your notebook from damage, use only the power adapter that came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating. DEUTSCH Once your notebook goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery, you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and then goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the battery. BATTERY REPLACEMENT E S PA Ñ O L There is danger of explosion if an incorrect battery type is used for replacement. For computers equipped with a replaceable lithium-ion battery pack, the following applies: - if the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to the battery, or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions; - if the battery is placed elsewhere in the computer, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions. The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text: CAUTION I TA L I A N O 14 Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. GETTING STARTED Starting Your Notebook POWER ON Suspend/Power On Button The suspend/power on button is used to turn on your notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need to take an extended break, press the button again to turn it off. CAUTION Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk. When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning and/or displays an error message. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system. CAUTION Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur. 15 ENGLISH GETTING STARTED Status Indicators The status indicator lights correspond to specific operating modes. These modes are: Power on/ Suspend status, Battery/AC adapter status, hard drive activity (HDD) and wireless transmission activity. Wireless Transmission Activity Indicator FRANÇAIS Battery Indicator Power On/Suspend Indicator Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Activity Indicator DEUTSCH Battery Indicator E S PA Ñ O L The Battery indicator tells you whether the Lithium-Ion battery is charging or is already fully charged. • If you are charging your battery, the Battery indicator remains on even if your notebook is shut off. • If there is no battery activity, the power adapters are not connected, or the power switch is Off, the Battery indicator will also be off. • Batteries subjected to shocks, vibrations or extreme temperatures can be permanently damaged. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Activity Indicator The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Activity indicator tells you whether your internal hard drive is being accessed and, if so, how fast. I TA L I A N O 16 GETTING STARTED Wireless Transmission Activity Indicator The Wireless Transmission Activity indicator tells you whether your computer is connected to a Bluetooth/wireless network or not.
