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 ME, Windows 2000….
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.

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/CD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time.
Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer. 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.
