Please accept your Notebook PC as being correct. Photos and icons in this manual are used for artistic purposes only and do not show what is actually used in the product itself.
3 Getting Started Power System Using AC Power The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook PC. Your Notebook PC comes with 2 a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you 3 may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V 1 as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters.
Getting Started Using Battery Power 3 The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer.
3 Getting Started Battery Care The Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 10˚C and 35˚C (50˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook PC’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature.
Getting Started Powering ON the Notebook PC 3 The Notebook PC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you may adjust the brightness by using the hot keys.

Getting Started Multimedia Control Keys 3 The multimedia control keys allows for convenient controlling of the multimedia application. The following defines the meaning of each multimedia control key on the Notebook PC. Some control key functions may defer depending on Notebook PC model. Use the [Fn] key in combination with the arrow keys for CD control functions. CD Play/Pause During CD stop, begins CD play. During CD play, pauses CD play. CD Stop During CD play: Stops CD play.
3 Getting Started Microsoft Windows Keys There are two special Windows keys on the keyboard as described below. The key with the Windows Logo activates the Start menu located at the bottom left of the Windows desktop. The other key, that looks like a Windows menu with a small pointer, activates the properties menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows object. Extended Keyboard An extended keyboard is available on selected models.
Status Indicators Getting Started 3 Front Drive Activity Indicator Indicates that the Notebook PC is accessing one or more storage device(s) such as the hard disk. The light flashes proportional to the access time. Battery Charge Indicator The battery charge indicator shows the status of the battery’s power as follows: ON: The Notebook PC’s battery is charging when AC power is connected. OFF: The Notebook PC’s battery is charged or completely drained.
