Chapter 1 Getting Started
This chapter describes the way to install battery pack and AC adapter or how to make best use of the
Power Saving Mode will be illustrated in this section.
1 Using of the Battery Pack
2 Connecting of the AC Adapter
3 Power ON/OFF
4 Power Saving Mode

1 Using of the Battery Pack
Your eNOTE can be powered by the supplied AC adapter or by a charged battery pack. The battery
pack will be charged automatically when the AC adaptor is connected.
Note
You should use the AC adapter whenever it is possible, relying on the battery pack only when AC
power is unavailable. Since the battery pack is expendable equipment, continuous use will shorten
its life and usable time.
Before you use your eNOTE, install and recharge the battery pack first. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery
pack allows you to operate the eNOTE without an external power source. When you connect the AC power
adapter, the battery immediately starts to recharge. For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the
battery before recharging it the first time. To do so, unplug the AC adapter, turn off power management
features, and turn on the system. Once the battery is fully discharged, plug in the AC adapter and recharge
the battery.
If you do not discharge the battery completely, it fails to accept a full recharge.
Attention
Li-Ion battery is vulnerable, do not charge it with other power adapter, or it may cause fire or
explosion.
Installation of the Battery Pack
1 Turn the eNOTE upside down
2 Slide the battery pack for installation in the direction of the arrow. Slide it towards the battery
pack slot until the slide switch clicks into place.
3 Slide the battery pack lock switch to the end of the left side. Make sure the battery pack is

eNOTE User Guide
securely locked.
Replacement of the Battery Pack
When your eNOTE estimates that the battery only has enough charge to continue for a few minutes, it
will alert you with a battery low warning. If you are consuming a lot of power by using the audio system,
and the hard disk drives, your eNOTE 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
eNOTE, or suspending your eNOTE to disk. If you do not do so, the eNOTE 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 the eNOTE until you have connected to the AC adapter or installed a charged battery.
Please refer to the below illustration for replacing of the battery pack.
1 Switch off the power of the machine.
2 Turn the machine upside down.
3 Slide the battery pack lock switch to the end of the right side.
4 Remove the battery pack by sliding the battery pack slide switch to the end of the left side.
5 To install the battery pack to the machine ,please refer to previous section on “Installation of the
Battery Pack”.
