Attaching the AC Adapter
Your computer runs on power from the battery in the computer or from an electrical
outlet. The first time that you use your computer, fully charge the battery by attaching
the power cord to the computer and to an electrical outlet.
All batteries lose their charge if they sit unused for an extended time period.
When not used, battery can discharge fully in 2 to 3 months. The battery may
have discharged in the time it took for the computer to go from the factory to
you.
To attach the power cord:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the power connector on the back side of the computer.
2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to an electrical outlet.
AC Adapter
The battery starts charging as soon as you plug the power cord into an electrical
outlet. The battery charges faster if the computer is turned off during charging.
If the battery is fully depleted and the computer is turned off, the battery charges
in about 3 hours. If the computer is turned on, the battery charges in about 6 hours.
When the battery is charging, the battery charge light is red. When the battery is
fully charged, the light turns green.

Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your
computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids
your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or
add any parts inside the chassis.
• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.
• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent
damage, avoid touching the screen.
• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other
options.
• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around
components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside
your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent
on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer.
Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.
• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a
car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct
sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you
have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room
temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.

Attaching the AC Adapter
Your computer runs on power from the battery in the computer or from an electrical
outlet. The first time that you use your computer, fully charge the battery by attaching
the power cord to the computer and to an electrical outlet.
All batteries lose their charge if they sit unused for an extended time period.
When not used, battery can discharge fully in 2 to 3 months. The battery may
have discharged in the time it took for the computer to go from the factory to
you.
To attach the power cord:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the power connector on the back side of the computer.
2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to an electrical outlet.
AC Adapter
The battery starts charging as soon as you plug the power cord into an electrical
outlet. The battery charges faster if the computer is turned off during charging.
If the battery is fully depleted and the computer is turned off, the battery charges
in about 3 hours. If the computer is turned on, the battery charges in about 6 hours.
When the battery is charging, the battery charge light is red. When the battery is
fully charged, the light turns green.
See “Using Power Management Options” on page 54 for more information on
using your computer’s battery.

Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your
computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids
your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer service center can replace or
add any parts inside the chassis.
• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.
• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent
damage, avoid touching the screen.
• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other
options.
• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around
components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside
your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent
on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer.
Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.
• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a
car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct
sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you
have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room
temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.
