First-time Operation

2 Connect your computer to a power outlet

The battery charging starts automatically.

CAUTION

●Do not disconnect the AC adaptor and do not switch the

wireless switch to on until the first-time operation procedure

is completed.

●When using the computer for the first time, do not connect

any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC

adaptor.

●Handling the AC adaptor

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 running from the battery pack

alone.

●When the DC plug is not connected to the computer,

disconnect the AC cord from your electrical outlet. Power is

consumed simply by having the AC adaptor plugged into an

electrical outlet.

3 Open the display

Hold the computer by its sides, and open the display while

holding (A).

CAUTION

●Do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD. Do not open or

close the computer holding the edge of the LCD segment.

name is not valid” appears, check if characters other than

the above are not entered. If the error message still remains

on the display, set the key entry mode to English (“EN”) and

enter characters.

your computer.

Otherwise, input by the keyboard may become unavailable.

●Do not use the following words and characters for user

name: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1 to COM9,
