Why Use AC Power When I’ve Got a Battery?
When you’re not on the go, you’ll want to use your
Notebook’s AC adapter to supply power. This ensures that the
battery is always charged.
When your Notebook does not have a charged battery, you
should save your work and turn off your Notebook before
unplugging it from the AC power supply.
Turning Your Notebook On and Off
To turn on your Notebook, press
the Power
›
button, which is
located at the top of the
keyboard.
To turn off your Notebook
properly, complete the
following steps:
1. Save your work and exit all open programs.
2. Click the Start button, then click Shut Down, and select
the Shut down option.
3. Click the OK button. After a few seconds, your Notebook
will turn off.
Note: If your Notebook is not responding, press and hold down the Power
button until your Notebook shuts down.
When a charged battery is in
your Notebook, you can simply
unplug it from AC power. Your
Notebook automatically
switches to battery power.
Hibernation is a state of
no-power consumption.
When your Notebook enters
this mode, the contents of
the memory are saved to
the hard disk and your
Notebook is powered off. When
you power your Notebook on
again, your Notebook returns
to the same screen or location
before it entered Hibernation.
