Caution: Do not connect the AC adapter to your notebook during the
discharging of the battery. This will cancel the initialization of the
battery.
Battery Condition
Your battery pack will store more charge if you keep it in good condition. To
maintain good battery condition, it helps if you can frequently discharge the
battery until it is completely empty, and then recharge the battery until it is
completely full. This procedure ensures that the battery stores a maximum charge.
The condition of the battery pack will deteriorate over time. After 2 or 3 hundred
cycles of charging and discharging the battery, you may notice that it begins to
store less charge. When this happens, you might consider replacing the original
battery pack with a new battery pack (CE-M50EB).
Storing and Retrieving Data
One of the most important functions of any kind of computer is to store data, and
retrieve data that has been stored or recorded. Your notebook is very versatile and
it can store and retrieve data from many different kinds of media.
Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive can read and write to 3.5" disks which can store either
720K (2DD disks) or 1.44MB (2HD disks) of data. The floppy disk drive in your
notebook is normally identified as drive A.
Hard Disk Drive
Your notebook is installed with a hard disk drive, which can store more than 1
GB of data. Access to the hard disk drive is very fast. Your notebook identifies
the hard disk drive as drive C. The hard disk drive in your notebook is pre-
installed with many software titles so that your notebook is ready for action as
soon as you take it out of the box.
To prevent damaging the hard disk and to protect the data on the disk, see the
points below:

Do not turn the power off or reboot the notebook while the hard disk indicator
lamp is turned on.
