IMPORTANT! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines
(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking
through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or
individual items). You can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through airport X-ray
machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC or
diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional
battery packs before going on long trips� Remember that the power adapter charges the battery
pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source� Be aware that it takes
much longer to charge the battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use�
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane� Most airlines will have
restrictions for using electronic devices� Most airlines will allow electronic use only between
and not during takeoffs and landings�
Transportation Precautions
To prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external
peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors� The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the
power is turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport� Therefore,
you should not transport the Notebook PC while the power is still ON� Close the display panel

3Getting Started
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook
PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke,
burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek
servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery
pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an
AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC�
Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet rst allows you to test the AC outlet’s power
and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power
to the Notebook PC� The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is
within accepted ranges�
Power System
Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised of
two parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system� The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power
required by the Notebook PC� Your Notebook
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter�
That means that you may connect the power
cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V
outlets without setting switches or using power
converters� Different countries may require that
an adapter be used to connect the provided
US-standard AC power cord to a different
standard� Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well
as voltages� It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when
bringing power adapters to another country�
