Starting Out with Your OmniBook Setting Up the OmniBook 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. 1-5
