Power Sources
Your computer has two types of power source: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC adapter.
CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS
The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery.
Connecting the AC Adapter
FRANÇAIS
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.
NOTE
DEUTSCH
ESPAÑOL
ITALIANO
14
The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need
to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.
GETTING STARTED
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
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 notebook 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.
CAUTION
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 computer while an adapter charges the battery.
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.

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.
CAUTION
FRANÇAIS
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
DEUTSCH
ESPAÑOL
installed operating system.
CAUTION
Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or
vibration, as you risk damaging the hard disk.
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.
FRANÇAIS
DEUTSCH
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
ESPAÑOL
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
ITALIANO
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 navigating through on-line pages.
