Do not carry your notebook around
with the power on or subject it to shocks
or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.
C A U T I O N
When you turn on your notebook be
sure you have a power source. This
means that at least one battery is
installed and charged, or that the AC
adapter or the auto/airline adapter is
connected and has power.
When the power switch is turned on, your
notebook carries out a Power On Self Test
(POST) to check the internal parts and config-
uration. If a fault is found a beep will sound
and/or an error message will be displayed.
(See Troubleshooting on pages 158-160) Depend-
ing 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.
