CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS

The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery. Connecting the AC Adapter

1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.

Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power

1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.

2. Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to battery

power. The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.

NOTEENGLISH DEUTSCHFRANÇAIS ITALIANOESPAÑOL

E N G L I S H F R A N Ç A I S D E U T S C H E S P A Ñ O L I T A L I A N O GETTING STARTED

The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC. There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your note- book PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Low Battery State When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point. 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. Once your note computer goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and the goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your com- puter while an adapter charges the battery. CAUTION Battery Replacement There is danger of explosion if an incorrect battery type is used for replacement. For computers equipped with a replaceable lithium-ion battery pack, the following applies: - if the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to the battery, or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions; - if the battery is placed elsewhere in the computer, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions. The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. CAUTIONGETTING STARTED

Starting Your Notebook POWER ON Suspend/Power On Button The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need to take an extended break press the button again to turn it off. Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk. When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio warning and or displays and error message. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system. Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.

Using the TouchPad A TouchPad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The TouchPad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and a scroll bar. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. Finally, the scroll bar allow you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars. Clicking Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad once. Double-Clicking Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad twice. Dragging Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the TouchPad. First, tap the TouchPad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the TouchPad, and then release your finger. Using the Scroll bar allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigat- ing through on-line pages.ENGLISH DEUTSCHFRANÇAIS ITALIANOESPAÑOL E N G L I S H F R A N Ç A I S D E U T S C H E S P A Ñ O L I T A L I A N O GETTING STARTED

Memory Module Upgrade To increase your notebook's memory capacity (up to 8 GB maximum), additional memory mod- ules may be installed. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module. Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except for the ones specifically shown in the directions here. Installing a Memory Module The following steps describe how to install a memory upgrade module. We do not recommend that you do this yourself.

1. Turn off power to your notebook using the power switch, disconnect the power adapter, and/

or remove the battery pack.

2. Place your notebook upside-down on a clean work surface.

3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat on the work surface.
