Connecting the AC Adapter

A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s
battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the
standard voltages available in most countries. To connect the computer to an external power source:

Do not use low quality or deteriorated extension cords as this may

result in damage to your mini PC. The computer comes with its own AC adapter. DO NOT use a
different a adapter to power the computer.

Never turn off or reset your notebook while the hard disk is in use

(status icon is lit). Doing so can result in loss of data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning
off your notebook before turning it back on. Turning the power on and off in rapid succession can
damage the notebook’s electrical circuitry.

Turn on your notebook by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for a second or two and
release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically. After the POST is completed, the computer
reads the operating system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to
as “booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows XP) is installed, it will start
automatically. To turn the notebook off, save your work and close all open applications. In Windows, click
on Start, then Shut Down and select Shut down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power
button for 4-6 seconds.
