Getting Started
2 Connect your computer to a power outlet
The battery charging starts automatically.
CAUTION
lDo not disconnect the AC adaptor and do not switch the
wireless switch to on until the rst-time operation procedure
is completed.
l When using the computer for the rst time, do not connect
any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC adap-
tor.
lHandling 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.
lWhen 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.
3 Open the display
APush the top of the latch (A) to release it.
BHold the side/ handle of the computer with either of your
hands and then lift up the display to open.
CAUTION
lDo not open the display wider than necessary (180° or
more), and do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD. Do
not open or close the computer holding the edge of the LCD
segment.
