Elitegroup G713 - Manual (Page 39)

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.
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 XP etc) is installed, it should start automatically.
To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications, click on Start, then
select the “Turn off the computer”. A selection box will be displayed and click on the “Turn
Off” button to shut down your computer.
When your computer hangs up, press the power button for 4-6
seconds to shut down the computer.
