Never turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk is in
use and the HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or
destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after
turning off your Notebook before turning it back on; turning the
power on and off in rapid succession can damage the
Notebook’s electrical circuitry.
Turning On Your Notebook Computer
Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button. The Power-On Self
Test (POST) runs automatically.
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system
from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly
referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such
as Windows XP…. etc) is installed, it should start automatically.
To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications,
click on Start, then Shut Down and select Shut down the computer and
click "Yes" or press the power button for 4-6 seconds.
Operating on Battery Power
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you
operate the computer without an external power source. When the battery
pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer under the following
conditions:
•
The battery pack initially has a full charge.
• No peripheral devices are installed.
• The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time.
Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer that
is used on for this model only. All batteries are not the same and
therefore should not be treated as such. Using the wrong battery
could cause serious damage to your computer and yourself
through toxic emissions.
Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack
The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer
when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these directions:
1.
2.
Turn off the notebook.
Ensure that the battery lock button is in the unlocked position.
