Power On

The first time you use your WinBook XL2, use your AC power adapter. This
will allow your battery to fully charge. It is recommended that you then
allow the battery to fully discharge and recharge three times. This will help
calibrate the electronics that monitor and maintain the battery charge. After
those three full discharges, you can partially discharge or charge your system
as your use demands, although you should allow a full discharge/recharge
periodically to help optimize battery life. See Chapter Three for more
information on conditioning and maintaining your battery efficiency.
Connect your AC Adapter to your system. Connect the power cord to the
adapter and connect the cord to a wall outlet or power strip. Slide the dis-
play panel release latch to the right and gently lift the display panel until it
is fully vertical. Press the power button on your computer to initiate a boot
of the system.
Your system should pass right through the memory tests and setup to start
loading Windows 98.

The sharpness of the screen

angle. Try moving the dis-
play panel slightly forwards or
back to find the optimal contrast.
