2.1 Starting Up
2.1.1 Precautions
a) The computer
The PX-8 is a precise machine and in order to achieve the best performance,
you should observe the following points:
i) Avoid using or leaving the PX-8 in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
ii)
Avoid using or leaving the PX-8 in a damp place.
iii)
Avoid using or leaving the PX-8 in a place exposed to strong vibration.
iv) Avoid using or leaving the PX-8 in a place exposed to high temperatures.
v) Do not allow the PX-8 to be subjected to shocks of any kind.
b) The AC adapter
An AC adapter is provided with the PX-8 to re-charge the built-in batteries.
When using this AC adapter:
i) Avoid plugging the adapter plug into the AC adapter jack of the PX-8
without plugging the adapter to an AC outlet.
ii)
The shape of the power plug differs according to the country for which
the PX-8 has been shipped. In certain countries there may not be a power
plug attached. Your dealer will be able to advise you on the correct plug
in this case.
iii)
The PX-8 will take approximately 8 hours to charge if the PX-8 is switched
off. However, if the power switch is ON the time will be greater (at least
11 hours if no access is made to any device including the keyboard).
