Align the card connectors with the socket and carefully slide into the socket until it locks into
place. The system will beep once to indicate that it has detected the PC card.
To remove a PC card push the eject button, the button will pop-out, push the button again to eject the
PCMCIA.
When inserting a Type II PC card, make sure the connector is inserted in the socket. Before ejecting a
PC card, ensure that it is not being accessed by the System. For example, if the message “Write
protect error writing Drive x” is displayed, the user has to change the write protect switch setting on
the memory card. To change the switch setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the switch setting, and
(c) re-insert the card.
Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet before servicing or disassembling this

Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system, including the AC Adapter, the
battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC
Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
The Battery Power System
A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery life depending on your system
configuration application it runs.
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the
Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 3-4 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible,
always charge the battery completely.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter Three, Inserting and
Removing the Battery Pack.
