Getting Started

Connect your computer to a power outlet

CAUTION
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing Step 8 on page 12.
When using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral de-
vice except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer. Using an AC adaptor
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder and
lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless running from the battery
pack alone.
