Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Mobile PC and an electrical
outlet to recharge the battery.

Never turn off or reset your Mobile PC while the hard disk is

in use and the HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of
your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your Mobile PC before
turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage
the Mobile PC ’s electrical circuitry.

Turn on your Mobile PC 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 ME, Windows 2000…. etc) is installed, it should
start automatically.

To turn the Mobile PC off, save your work and close all open applications, click on Start,
then Shut Down and select Shut down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power
button for 4-6 seconds.
