CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Combo from the tray.

Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. If you experience difficulty when ejecting the CD

disk tray, stretch a paper clip (or use a pin or a thin metal rod) and insert it into the emergency eject

hole located on the right side of the front panel. The CD disk tray should eject immediately. This

procedure can also be used to remove a CD from the drive when the Notebook is powered off.

Power Saving Modes

This section contains information on the Notebook’ s power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery

system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.

The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter

converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

n The Battery Power System

A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery life depending on your system

configuration application it runs. Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the

battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.

See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon.

Charging the battery takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible, always charge

the battery completely.

n Removing the Battery Pack

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the

Battery Pack.
