Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
notebook.
When Using Your W511 Series Notebook Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an
extended period of time with the base resting directly on your
body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up
in the base.
Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discom-
fort or, eventually, a burn.
• Do not attempt to service the notebook yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the
battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause
extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and
that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped
on.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or
on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the
battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that
will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside
a carrying case.
• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your notebook
computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out
interior components.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use
with your notebook. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter
may risk fire or explosion.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommend
-
ed by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Before you connect your notebook to a power source, ensure that
the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available
power source.
- 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
- 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.
- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
• If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• To remove power from your notebook, turn it off, disconnect the AC
adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the battery.
• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect
or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration
of this product during an electrical storm.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local authorities for disposal instructions.
• When setting up your notebook for work, place it on a level surface.

compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your notebook or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
• Protect your notebook, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
• When you move your notebook between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may
form on or within your notebook. To avoid damaging your notebook,
allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using your
notebook.
NOTICE: When taking your notebook from low-temperature conditions
into a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a
cooler environment, allow your notebook to acclimate to room tempera-
ture before turning on power.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain
relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector,
keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,
before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
• Before you clean your notebook, turn it off, unplug it from its power
source, and remove the battery.
• Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a
memory module by its edges, not its pins.
CAUTION: When using your telephone equipment, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the
following:
• Do not use this product near water, for example, near a
bathtub, washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool.

2.1 Using the Battery Pack
W511 series notebook computer is designed to operate with one of
the following power sources:
• AC power
(using the AC adapter connected to an electrical outlet)
• Lithium-Ion (Li-on) battery pack
You should use the AC adapter whenever it is possible, relying on
the battery pack only when AC power is unavailable. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack allows you to operate W511 series notebook
computer without an external power source. When you connect the
AC power adapter, the battery immediately starts to recharge. Normal battery charging time is 3 hours for Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery
pack when your computer is turned off. Normal battery life time is 4
hours.
For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the battery
first before you start to use it for the first time. To do so, unplug
the AC adapter, turn off power management features (through Setup
and Windows), and turn on the system. Once the battery is fully discharged, plug in the AC adapter and start to recharge the battery.
If you do not discharge the battery completely, it might fail to accept
a full recharge.
• Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable, do not charge it with other
power adapter, or it may cause fire or explosion.
Installing the Battery Pack
Your W511 series notebook computer provides the most convenient way to install the battery pack into your computer. To install
the battery, first orient the extended nose directed toward the
compartment, then following the sequence as shown in the figure
below.

How to Start
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack, slide the related latch and then take out
the battery pack with your finger as the sequence shown in the figure
below.
When your W511
series notebook computer estimates that the
battery only has enough charge to continue for a few minutes, it will
alert you with a battery low warning beep. If you are consuming a
lot of power by using the audio system, the PC Card slots, the hard
drives, and optical disk drive, your notebook computer might run out
of charge much sooner than you expect. You should always respond
to the battery low indication by connecting to AC power or turning
off your notebook computer, or suspending to disk. If you do not do
so, the notebook computer will automatically suspend to disk and
turn off. The contents of the memory will store in the hard disk drive.
You will be unable to restart your notebook computer until it has connected to the AC adapter or installed a charged battery. To replace
the battery pack, refer to the previous sections on “Installing the
Battery Pack” and “Removing the Battery Pack.”
• Note: Be sure to save your data before replacing the battery
pack or connecting the AC adapter. Failure to do so can result
in data loss.
• Note: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended
by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

notebook computer and charges the internal battery pack at the
same time. The AC adapter also has an auto-switching design that
can connect to any 100V AC ~ 240V AC power outlets.
To connect the power adapter:
1. Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the AC power
adapter.
2. Plug the other end of the AC power cord to a live AC wall out
let.
3. Plug the connector of the AC adapter to the DC-IN port found at
the rear side of your notebook computer.
• Note: Whenever possible, it is advisable to always have the AC
adapter connected to the notebook and the battery pack installed.
This ensures continuous power supply and prevents any data loss
incurring from sudden power breakdown.
• Note: For the power supply of this equipment, an approved power
cord has to be used. Make sure the socket and any extension
cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices. Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power supplies (i.e. AC adapter).
Maintenance of the AC Adapter:
• Do not connect the adapter to any other device.
• Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of
it. Carefully route the power cord and any cables away from all
potential traffic.
• When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself
but pull on the plug.
• The total ampere rating of the equipment plugged in should
not exceed the ampere rating of the cord if you are using an
extension cord. The total rating of all equipment plugged into a
single wall outlet should not exceed the fuse rating.
