1. If you have not done so, set up your computer for either battery
operation or AC Adapter operation as described earlier in this chapter.
2. Set the computer power switch to the on (1) position. The TravelMate
3000 WinSX begins its internal memory checks and displays copyright
and version-number data.
Note: Do not turn the power switch off and on quickly. Leave the power off at least 5
seconds before turning it on again.
The TravelMate 3000 WinSX then loads into memory the Windows memory driver,
BatteryPro, MS-DOS, and other utilities, displaying copyright and version-number
messages on the screen as each program loads. The computer then loads Windows and
displays its Program Manager and Main menus.
