This section shows you how to connect the A1500 to

Connecting the AC Power Cord
!
CAUTION: Make certain that you plug the cord into a grounded
(three-prong) wall outlet. Using an outlet that is not grounded may
damage the A1500.
After you have plugged in the A1500, the date and
time may be blinking on the display. Your PC sets and
maintains the date and time for you. However, if you
are using the A1500 as a standalone machine, see
“Setting Date and Time” in the Common Procedures
chapter.
Compaq recommends that you leave the A1500 on
at all times. The A1500 goes into an energy saving
mode when not in use. However, if you want to
turn off the A1500, unplug the power cord.
