The best kind of AC power source to connect your Mobile PC
to is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power
strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords
as this may result in damage to your Mobile PC. The Mobile PC comes
with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the
computer and other electrical devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Mobile PC and an
electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
Never turn off or reset your Mobile PC while the hard disk is
in use and the HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or
destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off
your Mobile PC before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in
rapid succession can damage the Mobile PC’s electrical circuitry.

Turn on your Mobile PC by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for a
second or two and release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system from the
hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to as “booting” a
computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows ME, Windows 2000….
etc) is installed, it should start automatically.
