Elitegroup G732 (V2.0) - Manual (Page 29)

CAUTION: The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook to
is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power strip
with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this
may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own
AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other
electrical devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical
outlet to recharge the battery.
CAUTION:
Never turn off or reset your Notebook 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 Notebook
before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession
can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry.
Turning On Your Notebook Computer
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 ME, Windows 2000…. etc) is installed, it
should start automatically.
To turn the Notebook 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.
