CAUTION
Handling the AC adapter
Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the
connections.
Use only the specified AC adapter with your computer. Using an AC adapter
other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.
When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord
from your AC wall outlet.
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder and
lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless the battery pack is installed.
Be sure the AC adapter is connected until completing Step

NOTE
The power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch
pad, or the external mouse for two minutes, the LCD is powered off (ECO mode).
The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad or the external mouse is used or
a key is pressed.
The computer may enter the ECO mode while Windows is setting up or even when
an application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable
that a selection dialog box will be shown, for resuming from the ECO mode, do not
press Enter which may trigger a selection, instead, press a key unrelated to the
direct triggering of a selection, like the key.
The power saving mode ([Power Scheme] in [Control Panel] - [Power Management]) is
factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch pad, or an external mouse (when one
is connected) for a certain interval of time, the power to the LCD is cut, and the power to
the hard disk is shut off. In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically
enters the suspend* mode (
"Suspend/Hibernation Functions").
The LCD will resume operation when the touch pad is used or a key, or an external
mouse is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off while Windows is setting up or even when
an application software is being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable
that a selection dialog box will be shown, do not press the Enter key to attempt
to resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press
a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like the Shift key.
*With Windows 98, "Suspend" is called "Standby".
