Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing this computer.
Your computer incorporates desktop computer capabilities into a compact notebook-sized package. It can greatly
enhance your productivity either in the office or at home. And, of course, wherever you need it, the computer is ready
and easy “to go.”
This chapter first tells you step by step how to get the computer up and running. You will find instructions for these
procedures:
* Unpacking
* Connecting to AC power
* Opening the cover
* Turning on the computer
* Turning off the computer
Then, you will find a section briefly introducing the external components of the computer. And the last section navigates
you to the information you may need after the computer is ready for use.

Getting the Computer Running

This section guides you through the procedures for getting the computer ready for operation.

Unpacking

After unpacking the shipping carton, you should find these standard items:
* Notebook computer
* Accessories:
? AC adapter
? AC power cord
? Driver CD
Inspect all the items. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your dealer immediately.
Keep the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to ship or store the computer in the future.

Connecting to AC Power

The computer operates either on the external AC power or internal battery power. It is suggested that you use AC power
when you start up the computer for the very first time.

CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter included with your computer. Using other AC adapters may
damage the computer.

1. Make sure that the computer is turned off.
2. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the computer (1).
3. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to an electrical outlet (2).
