HP F1435A Auto/Airline Power Adapter

The auto/airline power adapter is designed to work with an airline’s inflight power
system, as well as in a standard cigarette lighter socket, as found in most automobiles,
RVs and boats. An inflight power system is currently available on most of the major
airlines. Consult with the airline to confirm its availability on your flights.

Operating Guidelines

• For automobile use: Some vehicles are designed with power constantly supplied to the
cigarette lighter, even when the ignition is off. Some vehicles disconnect power from the
cigarette lighter socket when the engine is started. If you encounter problems with the
OmniBook when starting the engine, disconnect the adapter from the OmniBook before
starting the engine.

Connect the adapter cord to the back of the OmniBook or multimedia
expansion slice.

• For automobile use: Insert the cigarette lighter adapter into the car’s
cigarette lighter socket.

• For airline use: Press the latch on the airline connector and remove the
cigarette lighter adapter. Insert the exposed airline connector into the
inflight power socket in the airline seat.

Battery Safety

• To avoid risk of fire, burns, or damage to your battery slice, do not allow a metal object to
touch the battery contacts on the battery slice, which could cause shorting.

• These batteries are suitable for use only with the HP OmniBook Sojourn. Check the Support
and Service booklet for your local HP contact.

• Do not let a battery get moist or wet, which could cause shorting.

• Do not disassemble the battery slice. There are no serviceable parts inside.

• Handle a damaged or leaking battery with extreme care. If you come in contact with the
electrolyte, wash the exposed area with soap and water. If it contacts the eye, flush the eye
with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

• When discarding a battery, contact your local waste disposal provider regarding local
restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries. Cover the exposed battery terminals with
electrician’s tape before disposing of the battery. Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water.

• To obtain a replacement battery, contact your local dealer, HP sales office, or the HP website.

• Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F) or below -20 °C (-4 °F).

• Do not use the battery in ambient temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) or below 5 °C (41 °F). Do not
use it in direct sunlight, near a heating source, or in relative humidity above 80% or below 20%.

To charge a battery slice

Caution: Use only the HP F1434A adapter. Using another adapter could damage
your OmniBook and void the warranty.

HP F1434A AC Adapter

To connect the ac adapter

Caution: Use this adapter only with the HP OmniBook Sojourn and the F1433A Enhanced
Battery Slice. Do not use an adapter from another product. Using an improper adapter
could damage the OmniBook and will make your warrantly invalid.

Connect the power cord to the ac adapter.

Plug the ac adapter cord into an ac outlet.

Connect the ac adapter to the OmniBook’s ac adapter port, as shown.

Operating Guidelines

For best performance, disconnect the adapter from the OmniBook or
expansion slice before unplugging it from the power source.

• If you will not be using the adapter for an extended period of time,
unplug it from the power source.

• Do not attempt to repair the adapter. There are no serviceable parts inside.

• For warranty and service information, see the Support and Service booklet
shipped with your OmniBook.

HP F1431A Multimedia Expansion Slice and

HP F1433A Enhanced Battery Slice

The Enhanced Battery Slice extends the battery life of the OmniBook. The OmniBook
will use power from the battery slice first, then from the internal battery.

To connect an expansion slice or a battery slice

Important: From the Start menu, Shut down or Suspend
the computer before connecting or removing a slice.

Close the display and turn over the OmniBook.

Slide open the connector covers on the bottom
of the computer. Note: For the battery slice,
open just the battery cover.

Caution: If you do not connect a slice to
the computer, do not leave the connector
covers open.

Align the catch on the slice to the slot
on the rear of the computer. Slide the
computer backward.

Push the front part of the computer
until it clicks. Avoid excessive pressure
to the display.

Slide the latch(es) on the front part of the slice as
shown. (The battery slice has two latches.) You can
now remove the computer from the slice.

Close the connector covers on the bottom
of the computer.

To remove a slice

• The battery slice provides up to an
additional 4.5 hours of power.

To check the charging status

F

• Observe these environmental limits: 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F) and 20 to
80% relative humidity (non-condensing).

• The green status lights on the
battery slice indicate charge
level to the nearest 25%.
Press the battery status button
to see how many lights (one
to four) turn on.

• The orange status light
indicates the battery slice
is charging.

• If the battery slice is not connected to
the computer: Connect the ac adapter
directly to the battery slice, as shown.

• If the battery slice is connected to the computer: Connect the ac adapter
to the computer.

This recharges the internal battery first, then the battery slice. (The internal
battery takes 2 to 10 hours to recharge, depending on whether the computer
is in use or not.)

Important: Do not connect the ac adapter to the battery slice when the battery
slice is also connected to the computer or to the multimedia expansion slice.
No charging will result!

You can recharge a battery slice either connected to the computer or
disconnected from it.

• You can connect only one battery slice.

• You can connect both an expansion slice and a battery slice to the OmniBook at the
same time. If you do so, connect the expansion slice first (beneath the OmniBook),
then the battery slice beneath the expansion slice.
