CAUTION
Be sure the AC adapter is connected until completing Step 10 on page 13.
Handling the AC adapter
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adapter with your computer. Using an AC adapter
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 light-
ning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source
(UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.
Confirm that the latch lock is correctly in place. Should you decide to carry your
computer without the latch lock in place, the cover may open causing the battery
pack to fall out.

NOTE
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the
touch pad, the touchscreen or an external mouse (when one is connected) for a
certain interval of time, the power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off.
The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad, touchscreen or an external
mouse (when one is connected) is used or a key is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off while Windows is setting up or even
when an application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceiv-
able that a selection dialog box will be shown, do not press Space or Enter
to attempt to resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but
instead, press a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like Ctrl .
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby*
mode ( “Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer will resume
by sliding the power switch.
* Windows 2000 : standby or hibernation
