KB)

Connecting the AC Adapter

The AC adapter is designed to be used in most countries, as it
can operate in the ranges 100/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

Caution

Use only the AC adapter (model number AP-3S25) supplied

with the computer.

If you are using the adapter in a country other than the one
where you purchased your ActionNote, make sure you have
the correct power cable for the electrical socket. See the power
cable specifications in Appendix C for details.

You may need to connect the AC adapter to charge the battery

before you use it for the first time. (See Chapter 3 for complete
instructions on powering the computer with the AC adapter
and/or the battery.)

1-10

Setting Up the Computer

Turning On the Computer

When you first use the ActionNote, the battery may not be
charged; so make sure the AC adapter is connected when you
turn it on for the first time.

Before you turn on the computer, first connect and turn on any
external devices you will be using-such as a printer, monitor,
or pointing device. (See Chapter 4 for information about
installing optional devices.) Then press the power button on the
top of the computer to turn it on.

The computer displays copyright information and then
performs a series of power-on diagnostics that check the circuit
boards, memory, ports, keyboard, and disk drives. The
computer displays several messages during the diagnostics,
including this prompt:

Hit <DEL>,

If you want to run SETUP

Setting Up the Computer

1-11

If the tests indicate a problem with the system, you will see an
error message followed by this prompt:

RUN SETUP UTILITY

Press <Fl> to RESUME

If this happens, press to run the Setup program and
check your system configuration. See Chapter 5 for a complete
description of the Setup program.

When the computer completes its testing it displays a screen
describing the system’s configuration:

If necessary, press the button on the keyboard to view
the configuration screen. After viewing the screen, press any

key to continue the startup process.

Because your computer was set up at the factory, the
configuration information should be accurate. If you have
changed the computer’s setup so that this information does not

match your configuration, run the Setup program described in

Chapter 5 to correct it.

Depending on your configuration, your computer may come

with MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows installed on the hard

disk. However, you can use another operating system, such as

®

OS/2,

UNIX,® or XENIX.® Although this manual includes
sample MS-DOS commands, it does not explain how to use the
operating system; see your MS-DOS or other operating system
manuals for complete instructions.
