USING AC POWER
The AC adapter included with your Compaq Aero 2100 Series allows you
to connect to AC power through a power outlet. While connected to AC
power, the device does not use its internal battery pack. Instead, it
automatically starts charging the internal battery pack. A plug icon
appears in the status area of the taskbar to indicate that the device is
connected to external power. When charging the battery, the battery
charge light shows the battery charging status.
When the AC adapter is connected to the cradle, the cradle can act as a
power source for your Compaq Aero 2100 Series, and charge the battery.
It is not necessary to turn off your Compaq Aero 2100 Series before
connecting to AC power. The device automatically switches to AC power
without interrupting operation.
See "Charging the Battery Pack" earlier in this chapter, for information
on how to connect your Compaq Aero 2100 Series to a power outlet.
CAUTION: If you disconnect the external power while the batteries are
very low, the device may shut down. Any unsaved data in RAM will
be lost. You can restart the device by connecting to AC power or
installing a charged battery.
