Battery Care

The Notebook PC's battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number of times it can be

recharged. Fully draining and charging the battery once a day every day will last over a year but how long beyond that

will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used. It is ideal that the

batteries be used in a temperature range between 10°C and 29°C (50°F and 85°F). You must also take into account

that the Notebook PC's internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or

below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack's usage time will eventually

decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life. it

is not recommended to buy extras for storing.

Warning!

For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in fire, DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If

there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the Notebook PC and contact an

authorised service center

The Notebook PC's power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you may adjust the

brightness by using the functional keys. If you need to run the BIOS Setup to set or modify the system configuration,

press (F2) upon boot up to enter the BIOS Setup. If you press (Tab) during the splash screen. standard boot

information such as the BIOS version can be seen. Press (ESC) and you will be presented with a boot menu with

selections to boot from your available drive.

Important :

To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON.

Note :

Before bootup, the display panel flashes when the power is turned ON. This is part of the Notebook PC's test routine and is not a

problem with the display.
