Chapter 2:Operating The Notebook This chapter provides information about the use of the notebook. Getting the Computer Running Connecting Power to the System This notebook computer runs on its rechargeable battery. You can also plug its AC adapter into a wall socket for continuous high-performance operation or battery recharge. It is suggested that you use AC power when you start up the computer for the very first time.
3. Plug the direct current cable from the AC adapter into the DC-IN port on right side of the notebook. 4. The indicator on the front edge of the notebook will begin flashing with a green light. This indicates that the AC adapter has begun charging the internal battery. Note: It is particularly important that you give your battery a full charge the first time that you use it. We recommend that you leave the system connected to the AC adapter until the battery is fully charged.
About Power Indicators The two power indicators are located on the front edge of the notebook base. Power Indicator Steady:System is ON Flashing:System is suspended Battery Charge Indicator Steady:Battery is fully charged Flashing:Battery is charging About the Status Indicators The four status indicators, from left to right, are:Hard Disk, Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock.

(See the “ Using Power Management” in Chapter 3) FN + F6 This key combination turns off the volume of the speakers.
Chapter 3:Power Management This chapter tells you how to use power management and delivers the information about AC adapter, Internal battery pack. About the AC Adapter The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. The AC adapter is Auto-sensing so that your notebook can operate through the AC adapter connected to any available power supply in a wall outlet.
Note: The AC power cord supplied with your notebook computer is for use in the country where you purchased your notebook computer. If you plan to go overseas with the notebook computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. Using the Battery Pack The battery pack contains Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) that can be installed in the rear side of the computer. Warning: Only use the battery pack that is supplied with this notebook.
Battery Low Warnings Your notebook will alert you to a low battery condition by emitting a continuous beeping sound. This warning happens when the battery has only 15% of total charge remaining. If you continue using your computer after the battery low warning, the notebook will continue to operate normally until the charge level drops to around 5% of total charge. At this point, without warning, the notebook will automatically turn off the system.
