Elitegroup G733G - Manual (Page 28)

Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the
battery.
Never turn off or reset your Notebook 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 Notebook before turning it back on; turning the
power on and off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry.
Turning On Your Notebook Computer
Turn on your Notebook 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 XP…. etc) is installed, it should
start automatically. To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications, click on
Start, then Shut Down and select Shut down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power button for 4-6
seconds.
Operating on Battery Power
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an
external power source. When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer for
approximately 2 hours under the following conditions:
The battery pack initially has a full charge.
No peripheral devices are installed.
The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time.
Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer that is used on
for this model only. All batteries are not the same and therefore should not be treated as
such. Using the wrong battery could cause serious damage to your computer and
yourself through toxic emissions.
