Plugging In the Computer

Plugging in the power adapter provides AC power to the computer and recharges the
computer’s battery. You should plug in the power adapter in case the battery has been
drained during shipping or storage.

1

Plug the A/C plug on the power adapter into an outlet.

A light appears on the power adapter plug. An amber light indicates that the battery is being
charged. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.

2

Plug the power adapter plug into the power adapter port (marked with the icon

¯

) on the

back of the computer.

You can wrap the extra adapter cable around the clips that open out from the power adapter.

Note:

There may be a small gap between the A/C plug and the power adapter. You can also

remove the A/C plug and plug one end of the A/C cord into the adapter and the other end
into an outlet.

Connecting the Internal Modem

If you want to connect to the Internet right away, connect one end of the phone cord to the
internal modem port (marked with the icon

W

) and the other end to an analog telephone

line (the type of telephone line found in most residences).
