2.Connect the other end into a standard AC power outlet (120V, 60Hz).

Connecting the AC Power Cord

CAUTION: Make certain that you plug the cord into a grounded

!(three-prong) wall outlet. Using an outlet that is not grounded may damage the A1500.

After you have plugged in the A1500, the date and time may be blinking on the display. Your PC sets and maintains the date and time for you. However, if you are using the A1500 as a standalone machine, see “Setting Date and Time” in the Common Procedures chapter.

Compaq recommends that you leave the A1500 on at all times. The A1500 goes into an energy saving mode when not in use. However, if you want to turn off the A1500, unplug the power cord.
