Getting Started
Connect your computer to a power outlet.
CAUTION
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until completing the first-time use opera-
tion.
When using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral de-
vice except the battery pack and AC adaptor to the computer.
Handling the AC adaptor
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully.  Doing so may damage the

Use only the specified AC adaptor with your computer.  Using an AC adaptor
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
lightning.  Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless running from the battery
pack alone.

Operation
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch
pad 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 or an external mouse (when one is connected) is used or a key is
pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is being
installed.  In this case, because it is conceivable 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 or
hibernation mode (
   “Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer will
resume by sliding the power switch.
If there is no disc set in the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive, the drive power will be
turned off.(
