AC Adaptor

Use the AC adaptor and power cable that come with your notebook to run your notebook on AC power, or to recharge the battery pack. Use the AC adaptor whenever an AC power outlet is nearby.

Keep the adaptor connected whenever possible. The AC adaptor charges the battery when it is connected, whether the notebook is powered on or off.

Note

The power cable may vary from country to country.

Note

Consult your dealer or the local electrical authorities if you are unsure of the type of power cord to use in your country. Failure to use the correct power cord/cable may result in electrical shock.

WARNING

Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adaptor. The AC adaptor has no user- replaceable or serviceable parts inside. Dangerous voltage in the AC adaptor can cause serious personal injury or death. The AC adaptor is intended for use with a notebook and must meet EN609050 standards.
