Getting Started
This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on territory to fit your wall outlet. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Eee PC.
THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
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 US­standard 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.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Eee PC. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Eee PC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges.
Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Eee PC or use the Eee PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the Eee PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
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 provide several hours of battery life. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through an Eee PC retailer.
Remember to fully charge the battery before first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery reaches its maximum capacity after a few charging and discharging cycles.
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:

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.
Power Mode
Your Eee PC is equipped with a smart power system. The power­saving Battery mode lowers down the CPU frequency and decreases the power consumption to maximize the battery life. The AC mode enables the CPU to run at the full speed and to obtain the best performance. When applying or removing the power adapter, the AC mode and Battery mode will be shown on the display as a reminder.
Battery Mode AC Mode
Emergency Shutdown & Reset
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there are additional ways to shutdown and reset your Eee PC:
Shutdown:
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.
Use a pin or a straightened paper clip to press the reset button.
Reset: Press the reset button .
The reset button is available on selected models.
Touchpad Usage
