IMPORTANT
l Do not disconnect the AC adaptor until the first-time opera-
tion procedure is completed.
l When using the computer for the first time, do not connect
any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC adap-
tor.
l Handling the AC adaptor
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during
periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely
affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source (UPS)
is highly recommended unless running from the battery pack
alone.
l When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, dis-
connect the AC cord from your electrical outlet. Power is
consumed simply by having the AC adaptor plugged into an
electrical outlet.
