Chapter 3

This chapter covers some basic procedures for using your

Equity LT computer.

The Equity LT can be powered by either its internal

battery pack or the AC adapter. When you connect the AC

adapter to the computer and to an electrical outlet, the power

to the computer is supplied by the outlet. Use the AC adapter
whenever you have access to an electrical outlet to conserve
the internal battery’s charge. It recharges the battery whenever

it is connected to the computer.

You can connect or disconnect the AC adapter while you

are using the computer without interrupting any operation. For

example, if you are not using the adapter and the low battery

light starts flashing (see below), connect the AC adapter as
soon as possible to avoid losing data.

When the adapter is connected to both the computer and

an electrical outlet, the AC indicator light (on top of the
computer, toward the back), is illuminated.

Because the adapter can operate at 100 to 120 and 200 to

240 volts, you can use your Equity LT in other countries (with

the appropriate adapter plug).

Use the adapter to recharge the battery as described in the

next section.

The battery pack inside the Equity LT contains eight

NiCad (nickel cadmium) batteries that power the computer
when the AC adapter is not connected. The battery is

rechargeable and you should never have to replace it.
