GETTING STARTED

Power Sources

Your computer has two types of power sources: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC adapter.

CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER

The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery.

Connecting the AC Adapter

1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power

1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.
2. Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to battery

power.

The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need
to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.

To protect your notebook from damage, use only Lithium-Ion batteries that
meet the specification. Improper use of batteries may lead to explosion and
bodily harm.

Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. Contact your local recycling
center or waste disposal operator to properly dispose of batteries according to
the local laws and regulations of your region.

PRESERVING BATTERY LIFE

Fully discharge and recharge the battery every 30 days to prolong battery life.

If the battery is not used for a month or longer, remove and store the battery in a cool, dry

place. Fully recharge the battery before using again.
