2 Connect your computer to a power outlet
The battery charging starts automatically.
CAUTION
●Do not disconnect the AC adaptor and do not switch the
wireless switch to on until the first-time operation procedure
is completed.
●When using the computer for the first time, do not connect
any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC
adaptor.
●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.
●When the DC plug is not connected to the computer,
disconnect 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
Hold the computer by its sides, and open the display while
holding (A).

●Do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD. Do not open or
close the computer holding the edge of the LCD segment.
