Operating Systems
The computer is compatible with most operating systems (OS). However, not all
functions are 100% compatible.
For example, ACPI, APM, Smart Battery, etc. are not available on DOS,
Windows NT, and other non-Microsoft OS. Consequently “Suspend”,
“Hibernation”, “Battery Gauge” etc. would not work under such operating
systems.
ACPI: Advanced Configurations and Power Interface
APM: Advanced Power Management
AC adapter
The AC adapter performs two functions:
• It powers the computer from an external AC source.
• It charges the computer battery.
The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and
adjusts accordingly.
The following are recommended when using the AC adapter:
• Use a properly grounded AC outlet.
• Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other appliances
on the same line may cause interference.
• Use a power strip with built-in surge protection.
Connect the AC adapter:
1. Plug the AC cord to the adapter.
2. Plug the other end of the AC cord into the wall outlet. Make sure the green
LED on the adapter turns on.
3. Attach the DC plug into the power jack of the computer; turn the lock ring
clockwise to secure it.
AC Adapter Indicator
The green LED indicates that the AC power is ready.
