Getting Started
Setting up your computer
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery pack. See If
Something Goes Wrong on page 177 for troubleshooting
information.
DANGER: Damaged power cables can cause fire or electric
shock. Never modify, forcibly bend, place heavy objects on
top of, or apply heat to the power cable.
If the power cable becomes damaged or the plug overheats,
discontinue use. There is a risk of electric shock.
Never remove the power plug from the outlet with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Charging the battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before
using the battery to power the computer, you must charge it.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged in to an AC
power source for at least three hours with the computer turned off.
After that, the battery will be completely charged and ready to
power the computer.
For more information on using the battery, see Running the
computer on battery power on page 92.
CAUTION: Once the battery is charged for the first time,
avoid leaving the computer plugged in and turned off for
more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to charge a fully
charged battery can damage the battery.
