3 - 2 The Power Sources
The Power Sources
The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.
AC/DC Adapter
Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/
DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.
1.
Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer.
2.
Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/
DC adapter (make sure you use the adapter when first setting up the
computer, as to safeguard the computer during shipping, the battery will be locked
to not power the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter).
3.
Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.
4.
Press the power button to turn "On".
Battery
The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an
electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the applications and
the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the battery discharge
completely before recharging (see
We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the bat-
tery, please refer to
