Starting Out with Your OmniBook
Setting Up the OmniBook
1-5
To set up the OmniBook
See “Battery Safety” in chapter 6 for the proper handling of batteries.
1. Install the battery.
• Lay the battery pack into the battery compartment. The metal battery
contacts on the pack mate with contacts in the compartment.
• Close the two latches.
The battery pack contains rechargeable batteries. The first time you use your
OmniBook, you should charge the battery for 1 or 2 hours before operating
solely on battery power. However, you can operate immediately with the ac
adapter plugged in—see the next section.
2. Connect the ac adapter and start charging.
• Plug the power cord into the ac adapter, then into a grounded ac outlet.
• Plug the connector from the ac adapter into the socket at the right-rear
corner of the OmniBook.
• Important: If you will not be using the ac adapter for an extended period of
time, unplug it from the power source.
