Getting Started
Power
The computer has two power sources: a Lithium battery and an AC adapter.
Installing the battery
To install the battery pack:
Make sure that the computer’s power is off and that no cables are connected.
Hold the battery pack with the label facing up, and with the connectors on the
battery facing the connectors on the computer.
Push the battery gently into the battery bay until the latch clicks into place.
Connecting the AC adapter
To protect your computer from damage, use only the power adapter that
came with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.
To connect the AC adapter:
Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.
Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.
To switch from AC adapter power to DC battery power:
Make sure you have at least one charged battery installed.
Unplug the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically to battery power.
Charging the battery
The lithium battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the
battery, make sure the battery is installed, and the AC adapter is connected to the
computer and the AC power supply. There is no "memory effect" in lithium batter-
ies; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharg-
ing. The charge times will be signicantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while
the battery is charging.
If you want to charge the battery more quickly, turn your computer off while
the adapter is charging the battery.
