Using Your Computer for the
First Time
This section gives you detailed information on using your
computer for the first time.
Attaching the AC Adapter
Your computer runs on power from the battery that came
installed in the computer or from an electrical outlet. The first
time that you use your computer, fully charge the battery by
attaching the AC adapter to the computer and to an electrical
outlet.
All batteries lose their charge if they sit unused
for an extended time period. When not used,
your Ascentia M battery can discharge fully in 2
to 3 months. The battery may have discharged in
the time it took for the computer to go from the
factory to you.
To attach the AC adapter:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the power connector on the right
side of the computer (Figure 4).
2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to an
electrical outlet.
