Connecting the Notebook

Preface

Connecting the computer is as easy is 1-2-3.

1.Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment and slide the battery compartment cover in place. The battery pack has a pull loop at the end for easy removal.

Note: When using a battery pack for the first time, fully recharge the battery, then disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before recharging again. You only need to do this once with a new battery.

2.Connect one end of the AC adapter to the DC-in port on the notebook’s rear panel and the other end to a properly grounded power outlet.

3.Slide the display cover latch to the left to open the display. Then press the power switch to turn on the power. The POST (Power-On Self- Test) routine executes and Windows begins loading.

Note: To turn off the power, press the power switch for more than four seconds. If you are using Windows 95, we recommend that you use the Shutdown command to turn off the computer.

If you turn off the computer and want to turn it on again, wait at least 2 seconds before powering up.
