■ Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data. Connecting the AC adaptor Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor. Figure 1-1 Connecting the power cord to the AC adaptor (2-pin plug) Figure 1-2 Connecting the power cord to the AC adaptor (3-pin plug) Either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/cord will be included with the computer depending on the model. 2. Connect the AC adaptor’s DC output plug to the DC IN 19V jack on the left of the computer.
Figure 1-3 Connecting the DC output plug to the computer (Satellite L770/L775/L770D/L775D/Satellite Pro L770/L775/L770D/L775D) 1 2 1. DC IN 19V jack 2. DC output plug 3. Plug the power cord into a live wall outlet - the Battery and DC IN indicators or DC IN/Battery indicator on the front of the computer should glow. Opening the display The display panel can be opened to a wide range of angles for optimal viewing.
■ Be careful not to open the display panel too far as this could put stress on the display panel’s hinges and cause damage. ■ Do not press or push on the display panel. ■ Do not lift the computer by the display panel. ■ Do not close the display panel with pens or any other objects left in between the display panel and the keyboard.
Figure 1-5 Turning on the power (Satellite L770/L775/L770D/L775D/Satellite Pro L770/L775/L770D/L775D) 1 1. Power button Starting up for the first time The Windows 7 Startup Screen will be the first screen displayed when you turn on the power. Follow the on-screen instructions on each screen in order to properly install the operating system. When it is displayed, be sure to read the Software License Terms carefully.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data loss. 3. Click Start. 4. Click the Shut down button ( ). 5. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer. Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait a short period to avoid any potential damage.
■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode, disable Sleep Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options). ■ To use the Hybrid Sleep function, configure it in the Power Options. Benefits of Sleep Mode The Sleep Mode feature provides the following benefits: ■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the Hibernation Mode feature.
on, the previous state is restored. Please note that the Hibernation Mode feature does not save the status of any peripheral devices connected to the computer. ■ Save your data. While entering Hibernation Mode, the computer saves the contents of memory to the hard disk drive. However, for safety sake, it is best to save your data manually. ■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed.
Data save in Hibernation Mode When you turn off the power in Hibernation Mode, the computer will take a moment to save the current data in memory to the hard disk drive. During this time, the Hard Disk Drive/Memory media slot indicator will glow. After you turn off the computer, and the content of memory has been saved to the hard disk drive, turn off the power to any peripheral devices. Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.

In Sleep Mode, this indicator will turn on for one second and off for two seconds. No light Under any other conditions, the indicator does not light. Battery This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.
Care and use of the battery pack This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle your battery pack properly. Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for detailed precautions and handling instructions. ■ Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture. ■ Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children.
Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger. Time Refer to User Information Guide about Charging time. Battery charging notice The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following conditions: ■ The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it might not charge at all).
■ You should wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. This is because the computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this together with the current power consumption. ■ Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ slightly from the calculated time. ■ With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will gradually decrease.
■ At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps as detailed below. 1. Turn off the computer's power. 2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it does not turn on then go to Step 4. 3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes.
Removing the battery pack To remove a discharged battery, follow the steps as detailed below: 1. Save your work. 2. Turn the computer's power off - ensure that the Power indicator is off. 3. Remove all cables and peripherals that are connected to the computer. 4. Close the display panel and turn the computer upside down. 5. Slide the battery lock (1) into its unlock ( ) position. 6. Slide and hold the battery release latch (2) to disengage the battery pack and then remove it from the computer.
■ Sleep Mode: Data will be maintained in the computer's memory. Please refer to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the power in Chapter 1, Getting Started for further information. Windows utilities You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).
