Docking the Computer

NOTICE: Before you initially connect your computer to the APR, you must complete the operating system setup. When you see the Windows desktop on your screen, the operating system setup is complete.

You dock your computer when you connect it to an APR. You must connect the AC adapter to the APR before you dock and turn on the computer. The AC adapter powers the APR and the computer at the same time. Any battery installed in the computer charges while you use the APR.

NOTICE: Always use the Dell AC adapter that came with the APR. If you use any other commercially available AC adapter—or the AC adapter from other Dell computers—you may damage the APR or the computer.

1Save and close all open files, exit all open programs, and shut down the computer (see page 18).

2Disconnect any external devices, and remove any PC Cards from the computer.
