base.
To connect an optional ngerprint reader to the I/O connectivity base:
NOTE: You can attach the ngerprint reader to either side of the I/O connectivity base, but if you attach it
to the left side of the I/O connectivity base, the ngerprint reader covers the microSD slot and the headset
jack on the I/O connectivity base.
1. Turn o the mobility system properly through the operating system, and turn o any external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the mobility system and I/O connectivity base.

the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord and wait
approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain to avoid damage to the internal components.
