POWERING YOUR LAPTOP
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your laptop requires four AA batteries (not supplied,
available at RadioShack) for power.
Ô
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw from
the battery compartment cover.
2. Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity
symbols (
+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
If sound weakens or the display dims, replace batteries.
USING AN AC OR DC ADAPTER
To power your laptop from a standard AC outlet or
vehicle battery power, you need an AC or DC adapter and
size M Adaptaplug
(not supplied, available at
RadioShack).
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.
2. Attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with
the switch set to positive (
+).
3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the laptop’s
DC
6V
jack. Plug the other end of the adapter into the
power source.
CAUTION
• Use a (Class 2 for AC) power
source that supplies 6V DC and
delivers at least 300 mA. Its
center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit
the laptop’s DC 6V jack. Using
an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could
damage the laptop or the
adapter.
• Do not leave the laptop plugged
in when you are not using it.
Ô BATTERY NOTES Ô
• Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
• Do not burn or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new
batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline,
or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the
laptop for a month or more,
remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals
that can damage electronic
parts.
• Replacing the batteries erases
the laptop’s memory. To
protect memory, plug your
optional AC adapter into the
laptop and the outlet before
replacing the batteries.
• If your laptop locks up, reset it
by removing the batteries and
reinstalling them.
