Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. If you
experience difficulty when ejecting the CD disk tray, stretch a paper
clip (or use a pin or a thin metal rod) and insert it into the emergency
eject hole located on the right side of the front panel. The CD disk
tray should eject immediately. This procedure can also be used to
remove a CD from the drive when the Notebook is powered off.

This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system,
including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the
battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and

outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery
takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If
possible, always charge the battery completely.
If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed more than 20 times
by fully discharging/charging in a single month alone, we
recommend you to perform the “Battery Calibration” process every 3
months to maintain the battery life. Please refer to the topic on
“Battery Calibration” describing how to calibrate your system
battery discussed on the latter part of this chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the
“Battery Calibration” process immediately.
