GETTING STARTED Connecting to a Power Source Connecting the AC Adapter A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’ s battery pack. The adapter’ s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country. The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded AC outlet. To connect the computer to an external power source: 1. 2.
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 CD-ROM 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.

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.
Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged. 3. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter. 4. The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
Sound Meaning Continuous beeping every 5 seconds Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes charge remaining. Beeping accelerates Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC adapter. When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume to save your work.
When the battery charge LED turns off will indicate the system is fully charged. 5. Repeat step 1 to 4 once again. 6. The battery is now fully calibrated. Resetting the System After installing a software application package, you may be prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating environment. To reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.

TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using your computer. Locating a Problem Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.
If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the powe r cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer. 8. Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box. 9. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on. 10.
Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST: • Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction. • Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as memory status).
Solution: The problem is beyond the scope of this manual. Contact technical support. Problem: An unidentified message is displayed. Solution: Reboot the computer and run the BIOS system setup. Confirm the Setup parameters. If the same message is displayed after booting up again, contact technical support for assistance. Problem: The system cannot access the CD-ROM/DVDROM/Combo/DVD-Dual/Super Multi drive. Solution: Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive.
