Connect your computer to a power outlet
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing Step
8
on page 11.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer. Using an AC adaptor other
than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord from
your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder and
lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible power
source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.

CAUTION
NOTE
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch
pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the
power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off. The LCD will resume operation
when the touch pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) is used or a key is
pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off while Windows is setting up or even when an
application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a
selection dialog box will be shown, do not press Space or Enter to attempt to
resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key
unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like
Ctrl
.

In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby* mode
( “Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer will resume by sliding
