Connecting the Notebook

Connecting the Notebook

Connecting the computer is as easy is 1-2-3.

1.

Insert the battery pack into the battery

compartment and slide the battery

compartment cover in place. The battery pack

has a pull loop at the end for easy removal.

Note:

When using a battery pack for the first time,

fully recharge the battery, then disconnect the

adapter to use up the battery before recharging

again. You only need to do this once with a new

battery.

2.

Connect one end of the AC adapter to the DC-in

port on the notebook’s rear panel and the other

end to a properly grounded power outlet.

3.

Slide the display cover latch to the left to open

the display. Then press the power switch

to

turn on the power. The POST (Power-On Self-

Test) routine executes and Windows begins

loading.

Note:

To turn off the power, press the power

switch for more than four seconds. If you are

using Windows 95, we recommend that you use

the Shutdown command to turn off the computer.

If you turn off the computer and want to turn it on

again, wait at least 2 seconds before powering up.
