POWER ON
Facing the keyboard and display panel, move
the power switch towards the rear of your note-
book. This is the On position. (Figure 2-5.)
When you are done working you can leave your
notebook in Suspend mode (see page 47), or
you can turn it off. The power switch moved
toward the front of your notebook is in the Off
position. (See the section Power Off, pa ge 28, fo r
the re co m m en d ed shutof f pro cedu re s . )
C A U T I O N
After turning off your notebook, make
sure that it has been Off at least 10
seconds before turning the power switch
to On. If you do not you could cause a
system error. When you turn on your
notebook be sure you have a power
source. This means that at least one
battery is installed and charged, or
that the AC adapter or the auto/airline
adapter is connected and has power.
When the power switch is turned on, your note-
book carries out a Power On Self Test (POST) to
check the internal parts and configuration. If a
fault is found a beep will sound and/or an error
message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting
on pages 140-142.) Depending on the nature of
the problem you may be able to continue by
starting the operating system or by entering the
setup utility and revising the settings.

Do not carry your notebook around
with the power on or subject it to shocks
or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.
C A U T I O N
Neither the internal nor the external
Lithium ion Smart battery is charged

Initially you will need to connect the
AC adapter or an optional auto/airline
adapter to use the notebook and charge
the batteries. It can take up to 3 hours to
charge a single battery if the Notebook is
Off or in Suspend mode. If your note-
book is in use it can take up to 9 hours
or more to charge a single battery.
