Getting Started
First-time Operation

Handling the AC adaptor
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder

battery pack alone.

When the CPU temperature is high, the computer may not start up to prevent

powered-on, internal temperature, replacement sector. The maximum data vol-
ume for each record is 750 byte. These information are only used for estimating

to outside via network nor used for any other purpose except for the purpose
described the above.

function for management information history] in [Hard Disk Status] of PC Infor-
mation Viewer, and click [OK].
