Elitegroup G733 - Manual (Page 26)

The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook 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 Notebook. The Notebook 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 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.
