Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT - Charging the Battery; Connecting a Printer

Getting Started
Setting up your computer
To connect AC power to the computer:
1 Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN socket at the back of the
computer.
2 Connect one end of the power cable to the AC adapter and the
other end to an AC outlet.
The AC power indicator illuminates green if the battery is fully
charged. If not, it illuminates amber.
Charging the battery
Your computer contains a rechargeable battery pack that must be
charged before you can use it for the first time.
1 Connect the computer to an AC power source. See "Connect
ing the AC adapter" on page 17 for detailed steps.
2 Allow the battery to charge for two to three hours with the
computer turned off.
When the battery indicator illuminates green, the battery is
completely charged and ready to power the computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Using the computer while it is connected
to AC power causes the battery to charge at a slower rate.
With the computer on, the amount of time required to charge
the battery depends on how much power the computer con
sumes.
Connecting a printer
Before you can connect a printer, you must determine if it requires
a serial or a parallel interface. Check the printer's documentation.
If you can configure the printer as either a serial or parallel device,
set it up for parallel operation.
