Using the Equity LT-286e

This chapter describes some basic procedures for using your computer.

Using the AC Adapter

The Equity LT-286e can be powered by its external battery pack or by the AC adapter. When you connect the AC adapter to the computer and to an electrical outlet, the outlet supplies the power to the computer. To preserve the battery’s charge, use the AC adapter whenever you have access to an electrical outlet.

If the battery pack is connected to the computer, and you connect the AC adapter to the battery pack and to an electrical outlet, the AC adapter recharges the battery. See the next section for details.

If you are not using the AC adapter and the Battery in Use icon

-on the status indicator bar starts flashing, save all your work and power off the computer before connecting the AC adapter. (When the battery is low, connecting the AC adapter may reset the computer.)

Because the adapter can operate at voltages from 100 to 240 volts, you can use your Equity LT-286e in countries other than the United States provided you have the appropriate adapter

plug.
