Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 5

Your Notebook comes with a partially charged battery.

Take the new battery from its wrapping and insert it into the notebook as shown in figure 3, 4 and 5.

Remove the palm rest by applying gentle upward pressure with your fingers close to the area around the left Alt key, and the right Ctrl key.Pull the palm rest forward (Figure 3).

Insert the battery as shown in Figure 4.

Slide the palm rest back in to place, applying a slight downward pressure to the left and the right side (see Figure 5) in order to snap it gently back in to place.

POWER SUPPLY HARDWARE

The Notebook can be operated by battery or by power supply.

The initial use will be by power supply, as the battery is ony partially loaded for shipping.

Only use the original power supply. A wrong power supply can damage your notebook.

WARNING

The Power Supply contains no servicable parts

DANGER!!

The notebook comes with an AC power cord and a universal, autoswitching power adapter.

You can use the adapter anywhere the voltage is steady, between 100 and 240 volts.

When the adapter is connected to a power source and then to the computer, the Power icon lights up to indicate the system is receiving AC power.

To use the AC adapter: :

1. Plug the power cord to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power adapter to the DC IN 19V socket on the computer's rear panel.
3. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

TURING ON THE COMPUTER

Figure 7

Now you are ready to begin using your new notebook computer. To turn it on simply press the power button in the top right of the front panel. When the computer is turned on, the Power Button can also be used as a Standby/ Hibernate/Shutdown hotkey button if pressed less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the Power Button for longer than this will shut the computer down) and appropriately configured in the OS Control Panel (Power Management or Power Options).

Shutdown

Please note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the Shut Down command from the Start menu in Windows. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems.

Forced Off

If the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn't work when the system "hangs", press the power button for 4 seconds to force the system to turn itself off.

POWERMANAGEMENT

Your system is designed to work with both APM and the newer (and more effective) ACPI power management systems.

PC Card Warning

Do not remove or change the PC Card while the system is in Save to Disk Mode. The slot is turned off and any change in the system configuration may cause prob-lems when the computer comes back on.

ATTENTION

HARDWARE (BATTERY STATUS & WARNINGS) After the POST finishes, the battery status LED indicates the battery ,s charge level. When the battery is low, this icon flashes. Save your work immediately and connect the AC- Adaptor.

LOW BATTERY & SUSPEND

The most basic of the computer, s features provide some protection when battery levels get too low ( and you , re not using the adapter). The computer reacts in one of two ways:

WITHOUT SAVE TO DISK

If your system doesn ,t have a Save to Disk file or partition on your HDD, information is saved to the RAM and the system goes into Suspend ( low power) mode.

WITH SAVE TO DISK

The system records status information to a special file or partition on the HDD and then turns itself OFF. If a Save to Disk file or partition isn ,t avail-able, the system goes into „Suspend „mode

INTEL® SPEEDSTEP®

If you have purchased a product with the Intel ® SpeedStep Pentium -M ® CPU, please read the following note carefully:

The software for a fault free use of the SpeedStep - Frequency switching in the Powermanagement is preinstalled on your hard disc.

After the system has rebooted, double click the newly generated flag symbol on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
By doing this, you can change additional settings. Pressing the „Apply“ Button will implement these changes.

ATTENTION

! IMPORTANT !
