It can be opened for the removal of the battery when stored over a long period of time or for swapping a discharged battery with a charged Lithium-Ion battery.
ENGLISH GETTING STARTED Power Sources Your computer has two types of power source: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC adapter. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery. Connecting the AC Adapter FRANÇAIS 1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC. 2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet. Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power 1.
GETTING STARTED RECHARGING THE BATTERY The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC. There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging.
ENGLISH GETTING STARTED Starting Your Notebook POWER ON Suspend/Power On Button The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need to take an extended break press the button again to turn it off.

GETTING STARTED Using Function Keys Your computer has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application.

ENGLISH GETTING STARTED Using the TouchPad A TouchPad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The TouchPad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and a scroll bar. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons.
