Using Your Computer for the First Time

This section gives you detailed information on using your computer for the first time.

Attaching the AC Adapter

Your computer runs on power from the battery in the computer or from an electrical outlet. The first time that you use your computer, fully charge the battery by attaching the power cord to the computer and to an electrical outlet.

All batteries lose their charge if they sit unused for an extended time period. When not used, battery can discharge fully in 2 to 3 months. The battery may have discharged in the time it took for the computer to go from the factory to you.

To attach the power cord:

1.Plug the AC adapter into the power connector on the back side of the computer (Figure 4).

2.Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to an electrical outlet.
