NEC P8510 manual Connecting the AC Adaptor, Using the Battery

Page 21

Connecting the AC Adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor as follows:

1.Connect the AC adaptor cable into the power port on the notebook.

2.Plug one AC adaptor cable into the adaptor.

3.Connect the AC adaptor cable to grounded 100- or 240-volt, 50- or 60-Hz AC power outlet.

CAUTION

Do not cover or place objects on the AC adaptor. Keeping the adaptor clear of objects lets the adaptor cool properly during use.

Only use the AC adaptor that comes with your notebook. Although other adaptors look similar, using them can damage your notebook.

CAUTION

This equipment uses an ungrounded power cable. Replace the cord if it becomes damaged. The cord must be rated for at least 250VAC at 10 amps, and must indicate international safety agency approval. The plug must be a type appropriate for the country where it is used. Check with your local dealer for HAR (Harmonisation certification mark) type 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge), 2 conductor cord, or better. Obtain replacement cords at an authorised service centre. The replacement must be of the same type and voltage rating as of the original cord.

Using the Battery

Note

Although the battery is fully charged at the factory, transit and shelf time may reduce the initial battery charge. We recommend that the first time you use your notebook, you connect it to AC power using the AC adaptor. This also recharges your battery.

When the battery capacity is low, always respond by immediately saving your data, and connecting your notebook to the AC adaptor. If an AC adaptor is not available, change the battery using the battery replacement procedure.

If you do not take any action, the notebook will automatically go into Hibernation (Save To File) mode.

WARNING

To prevent accidental battery ignition or explosion, adhere to the following:

Keep the battery away from extreme heat.

Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals to prevent a short circuit.

Make sure the battery is properly installed in the battery bay.

Read the precautions printed on the battery (if any).

Remember to unplug the AC adaptor cable from the power port on the notebook and from the grounded AC power outlet after your notebook is fully charged, when your notebook is not in use or when you know that your notebook will be unattended for long hours.

Do not disassemble the battery.
