Align the card connectors with the socket and carefully slide
into the socket until it locks into place. The system will beep
once to indicate that it has detected the PC card.

To remove a PC card push the eject button, the button will pop out,
push the button again to eject the PCMCIA.

When inserting a Type II PC card, make sure the connector
is inserted in the socket. Before ejecting a PC card, ensure
that it is not being accessed by the System.
For example, if the message “Write protect error writing
Drive x” is displayed, the user has to change the write
protect switch setting on the memory card. To change the
switch setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the switch
setting, and (c) re-insert the card.

Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet
before servicing or disassembling this equipment. To
reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.

Power Saving Modes

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 the
battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

The Battery Power System

A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery
life depending on your system configuration application it runs.
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.
