Getting Started
Other Things to Note
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.
■ Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data
loss.
■ Never format storage media without checking its content. Formatting
destroys all stored data.
■ It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk or other
main storage device to external media. General storage media is not
durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions
may result in data loss.
■ Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of data.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from
100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power .
