When inserting a Type II PC card, make sure the connector is inserted in the socket.
Before ejecting a PC card, ensure that it is not being accessed by the System.
For example, if the message “Write protect error writing Drive x” is displayed, the user has
to change the write protect switch setting on the memory card. To change the switch
setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the switch setting, and (c) re-insert the card.
Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet before servicing or
disassembling this equipment. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system, including the AC Adapter,
the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
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.
The Battery Power System
A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery life depending on your
system configuration application it runs.
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the
Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery
icon. Charging the battery takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If
possible, always charge the battery completely.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter 3, Inserting and
Removing the Battery Pack.
