Power System

Using AC Power

The Eee PC power comprises two parts, the power adapter and
the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power
from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Eee PC. Your Eee
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any
100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or
using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter
to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different
standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support
different power cords as well as
voltages. It is always best to ask
an experienced traveler about
AC outlet voltages before
travelling.

Installing the prong-plug adapter

Follow the instructions below to install the prong-plug adapter if
needed.

1. Incline the prong slightly to a bevel angle.

ASUS Eee PC

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Your Eee PC may not have its battery pack installed. If not, use the
following procedures to install the battery pack.

To install the battery pack:

To remove the battery pack:

• Only use battery packs and power adapters supplied with this
Eee PC or specifically approved by the manufacturer or retailer
for use with this model or else damage may occur to the Eee PC.

• Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the Eee PC is
turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working data.

Using Battery Power

The Eee PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The
battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A
fully charged pack will provides your Eee PC a few hours of working
power, but the actual figure varies depending on your general work
habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display
panel. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased
separately through an Eee PC retailer.

Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before
first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The
battery reaches its maximum capacity after a few full charging
and discharging cycles.

ASUS Eee PC

3-5

For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in
fire, DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT
disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal
operation or damage to the battery pack caused
by impact, turn OFF the Eee PC and contact an
authorized service center.

Battery Care

The Eee PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit
on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful
life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and
how your Eee PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a
temperature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You
must also take into account that the Eee PC’s internal temperature
is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or
below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case,
the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new
battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this
Eee PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended
to buy extras for storing.

Emergency Shutdown

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart,
there is an additional way to shutdown your Eee PC:

Hold the power button until the
system shuts down.

DO NOT use emergency
shutdown/reset while data
is being written or read;
doing so can result in loss
or destruction of your data.
