Turning On the Computer
After you have connected the computer to an external power source
or inserted a charged battery pack, turn on the computer by sliding
the power switch
to the right and releasing it or by pressing the
Suspend button. The green power/suspend light is illuminated. (The
power/suspend light blinks when the computer is in Suspend.)
If you are using an external power source, the power icon on the
status panel turns on. If battery pack(s) are in the computer, the
battery gauge icon(s) on the status panel are illuminated. The
battery gauge icons indicate the amount of charge in battery
pack(s).
Whenever the computer is on or in Suspend, be sure the ventilation
intake and exhaust are both clear of any obstructions.
CAUTION: Be sure that the ventilation intake and exhaust are not
blocked when the computer is on. If the vents are blocked, the computer
may overheat and unexpectedly initiate Suspend (or turn off when
docked).
