Connecting the Power
Your Notebook PC is equipped with a high-capacity 12-cell Li-ion battery pack, and it can operate either on the battery’s power or AC power. However, for the first time to use your Notebook PC, it is recommended to connect the AC adapter and use the AC power. When the AC adapter is connected, the battery is charged immediately. Please NOTE that the AC adapter included in the package is correct for your Notebook PC; using other adapter model may damage the computer or other devices on the computer.
Connecting the AC Power
1. Unpack the package to find the AC adapter and power cord.
2. Attach the power cord to the connector of the AC adapter (n).
3. Plug the DC end of the adapter to the computer(o), and the male end of the power cord to the electrical outlet (p).
1.3 Preparing to Operate

Power-On Self Test
The POST (Power-On Self Test) is a software controlled diagnostic test tool, which is a set of routines stored in a computer’s ROM (Read-Only Memory) that tests various system components such as the memory, disk drives, and the keyboard to see whether they are properly connected and operating. If problems are found during booting, these routines alert the user by sounding a series of beeps or displaying a message on the screen.
Turning On the Computer
1. Make sure that the computer is connected to the AC power.
2. Press the power button . Once pressed, the power button will light Green to indicate that the computer is turned on.
3. When the computer is turned on, it will first perform a series of diagnostic tests that is called Power-On Self Test (POST). Then, the operating system (such as Microsoft Windows XP in this manual) should start, and you can start to work with your Note book PC!
