Don’t turn off your computer if status indicators show that the
computer is still accessing data on the hard disk drive, the floppy
disk drive or the CD-ROM drive. Data may be lost or damaged.
•
After turning off the computer wait at least five seconds before
turning the computer back on. Turning the computer off and on
without a pause can damage the system.
Since this is your first session using the computer, it’s a good idea to leave the AC
adapter connected to the computer until the internal battery is fully charged. The
orange battery charge indicator changes to green when the battery is fully charged.
